I wear the Predator by Wright Leather Works and I think it is one of the best choices in leather. It is a very comfortable holster that you will forget you are wearing. They also make IWB and list the Shield with the CT laser on their gun list.

This is what I use for IWB:
Talon Smith and Wesson M&P Shield Inside the Waistband Holster
I need to find an OWB holster now, because after the holidays, there isn't enough room for me plus the IWB holster.

Have you given a lot of thought to getting lasers? Now, there are a lot of folks here using them, but I would not want one on my CCW weapon. If I am so far from the person that I have to use a laser, I think the prudent thing would be to try to walk away from the situation. Most defense non LEO shootings are from just a few feet away. I would not want the added weight and bulk on my CCW weapon. Maybe on a home defense weapon, but not CCW. The more complicated it is to conceal, the less you will carry it.
This is my own personal opinion and I just want to make sure you give it a bit of thought.

you will not notice the weight. your stat may be tru but i would rather have it in case i needed it then not. i have personally had a defense situation where they were far enough away. it was a invasion on my personal garage and they had a 38 special in thier back pocket and were atleast 15 feet away

I have a Glock 19 with a Crimson Trace LG-452 laser sight and I had a hard time finding a holster for it. The only holster I found that was manufactured was a leather one by DeSantis Gunhide ( Welcome to DeSantis Gunhide®. "We didn't invent concealment, we just perfected it." ? DeSantis Holster). It's nice quality and looks like it will be a nice conceal holster but it may need to be broken in since the gun sticks a bit when drawing.
I wanted a kydex holster, though, and I couldn't find anything at all. I went to KnifeKits.com™ : Knife & Gun Making Supplies and Tools and got a holster kit and made my own. I found a bunch of guides on the web and made two at the same time. The second one I made came out a bit better so I finished it off. The whole process took me a few hours, it wasn't difficult at all. I took some parts from another kydex holster I already had since I liked them better than the parts that came with the kit. I can't get into Photobucket right now so I'm just uploading a smaller image, but it works great. I took some parts from another kydex holster I already had. Give it a shot, it cost less than any quality kydex holster for a handgun with a laser sight that i was able to find online.
