What's a good IWB holster for a Shield?
I was leaning towards Hidden Hybrids. Any help appreciated!

I use both a "Sticky Holster" and a "WhiteHat" IWB holster.

Doug,
I looked up both holsters and I have to tell you, the Sticky looks pretty comfortable. That's one I'll keep in mind. Thanks!

The Sticky is the favorite for my wife. I grab it & go much more often that the White Hat too.. The Sticky is soft and comfortable. You hardly know it's there....Good Luck. There are many more fine holsters out there if they haven't been grabbed up along with the ammo.

Check out the N82 Tactical Professional. There are some good Youtube reviews on it.

I wear this 16 hours a day in the Florida heat for the past 7 months. I can't say enough good things about it. There is no other I would consider after wearing it.

I have two of them with the third on the way for my Shield. It's a quality holster for a reasonable price and Paul is a stand up guy! The lead times aren't bad either compared to some of the other "big name brands".

yesterday i received my [email protected] in the mail. very comfy. its thin and has absolutely no extra bulk what so ever. it feels like carrying without a holster but not having to worry about it moving. +1

Thank you all for the input! I really like the kydex and the PJ holster looks like it would fit the bill.

The Kusiak Leather is my personal favorite. I can carry anywhere from appendix to 4 o'clock depending what season it is and how I'm dressed

Everyone has their favorite rig. You may want to look at a recent inovation called the stealth defense strut holster.

I've (sadly) given up trying to wear IWB comfortably ( friggin drawerful of nylon/Kydex/leather!). Have just posted pics today of OWB Kydex for my Shield9 from PJ Holsters (see concealed carry section this forum)....quality guy (Paul), quality product, reasonable price...he makes IWB too. Recommend highly if you are ok with Kydex, many aren't but not a problem for me. Good luck.

I went with FoxX Holsters out of Detroit and couldn't be happier. I seriously don't know it's there when I'm wearing it. I picked up their FoxX Trapp for my Shield. Here's a pic...FS9 on the left in the Little FoxX and my Shield on the right in FoxX Trapp.

I got an N82 tactical pro several months ago and love it! The company is from Lexington, NC so it makes me feel better about an American made product but the bottom line is that if you are looking for a comfortable, secure, well made holster this one fits the bill to a 'T'!

Most holsters will be great in their own way. I have several but recently bought a Pinch II and love it. It's made here in Colorado which doesn't hurt.

I first went with the Hybrid from White hat and while its a great holster, I think its a bit overkill for the Shield. The shield isn't a heavy gun compared to a full sized M&P or a 1911 and the bulkiness of the setup took away from the compactness of the shield. So I searched again and someone on here posted the PJ and someone else posted the Softuk from Desantis. I went with the softuk just for some more cushion against me over just Kydex against me, and I am a happy camper. It has the adjustable cant as well so I can adjust it depending on which position I want it in. And right now it can be had on Amazon for 21 bucks. Ya can't beat that. I have been wearing it for about a month and a half and I may never use the White hat again. Again.. nothing against the Whitehat, very nice and well made - I'll save it and get new kydex(cuz it can be changed out) when I decide which full sized thing I might carry now and then.

When you say "Sticky", are you referring to the Remora brand or? In either case, can you please post the model and size that fits your Shield?
