Question Recommend Holster for Shield with laser?

I am thinking about getting a pair of Shields for me & the wife as we have just got our CCW permits, and will want the Crimson Trace laser on them both, So....Can anyone recommend some good holsters that will accept the Shield when it wears this CR laser?? both IWB & OWB, thanks, Bill

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:

I need to find an OWB holster now, because after the holidays, there isn't enough room for me plus the IWB holster.

I carry IWB only. I've got several brands but my favorite is cooksholsters.com. Impeccable quality and very comfortable to wear. Fits my Shield perfectly. Even got to choose my color.

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.
