Minotaur MTAC Holster from Comp Tac.

But what I really want is a Lefthand, IWB, Tuckable, CT compatible, all leather holster.

If anyone finds one, let me know.

Desantis Cozy Partner. It's the one they show the guy wearing on the commercial for the Sheild on the S&W website. Desantis has them or $75, but you can buy them for the same price on the S&W website. There's even a "Sheild" logo printed into the one S&W sells. Black or brown. Your choice. Gun vanishes while wearing it.

Old Faithful holster. I went with horsehide and a stage 1 D-I-Y kit. Here is a link to my pics and a video or two. You may have to right click and open the vids in a new window to play properly. I am more than pleased with mine, I have actually updated the mold since these pics were taken. It is smaller and I used a belt sander to shape it.

Old Faithful Holster IWB all day... shorts and Tee shirt.

Comfortable and concealable.

I have two holsters for my Shield 40

Winthrop IWB

This holster is extremely comfortable. I needed slightly larger belt loops to go with my 1/4 thick (1/2" wide) gun belt and Winthrop sent out a pair immediately. Plus the snaps only open one direction from the top, so there is no way a belt can be pulled to open them.

and just received yesterday my Remora 5ART-SS-Leather holster for summer shorts carry. My Shield 40, when fully inserted, is gripped in place. (If I hold it upside down, it stays.) With very little effort, it pulls free and is completely unrestricted the rest of the way out. In my pocket, the gun is drawn with ease. And with the little bit of experimenting that I've done with using it as an IWB - same thing.

I have to admit, the Remora is much more substantial than I imagined. I cannot see how this holster would ever wear out.
It looks just like this one (except you can't see the leather)

I use the Desantis pocket holster and I use the Crossbreed Mini-Tuck, just depending on what I'm wearing.
