I can not stand IWB holsters (live in Florida and they are uncomfortable) I want a leather pancake style that pulls really close to the body. No custom made ones needed, Galco or similar is fine with me. I usually use Fobus paddle holsters which are good but stick out to far.

I have searched but there are so many it is mind boggling

Would like to hear from actually users.

Thanks!

Try Lobo. Custom but inexpensive. Great stuff!

Might be a good holster but will not find me wearing one

Yes, Lobo does good work and not really expensive considering it's custom. Have to check on wait time. Thanks

Watching this thread. I'm a 9C carrier, and also reside in the Florida sweat box. I use Remora and Fox IWB holsters, but really would prefer an OWB option. Difficult to determine which one will hold securely, hug tight to hip, and have minimal print. I'm a lefty, which also presents challenge when looking at off-the-shelf offerings.

You should take a look at Defensive Line Leathers. I ordered a holster from Tim and can't say enough. Great quality, nice fit, quick delivery and not much more than a premade holster. I'm waiting for delivery of my custom belt and will ordering another holster. Really sharp looking rigs!

I make some really nice OWB and IWB holsters for the Shield and XDS. Acually, the brunt of my OWB and IWB holster business IS in these 2 pistols.

Here is an on board ad that I have for a few of my holsters.

I bought a Bianchi 7/7L and its marked CS9 on e bay. It fits the Shield like a glove and rides high and close. Go to e bay and search Bianchi 7 and save it and you will get e mails when one comes for sale.

I looked at the Old Faithful OWB to match my IWB, but ended up going with the FoxX OWB. Retention is great and rides well, maybe a little lower than the OF. Still concealable with an untucked shirt. Haven't worn it too much to give a full review, but the bit I have has been positive. Only curious part was that it seemed "squeaky" when I first put it on, but it could be the fresh leather of the holster (and I had a new belt). Priced great, and got to me in less than a week. They're located in Warren, MI and I'm in the UP, so as far away as TN.

Oh and COL V, I'm a lefty and they had the materials all ready to go.

Here's the site: http://foxxholsters.onlybusiness.com...r-details.aspx

I found that Galco has one called the "Stinger" I think I will get that. Desantis also has one. Decisions, Decisions

Desantis has one?

I ordered one from Ray a few weeks back, so mine will be coming soon, but it's IWB. He has been beating his 6-7 week estimate so I'm getting that Christmas morning feeling.

I use a Desantis hip holster for my 40 Shield, works great. I also use a Desantis Ankle holster for the same gun.
