After reading dozens, if not hundreds, of posts about reasonably priced IWB holsters for the Shield, I decided to go with the Treadstone by Overwatch Holsters. I thought I would share my experience with the community. First, i will mention that my previous IWB was a Desantis Pocket-Tuk that can either be a pocket holster or an IWB with adjustable cant. I liked it for a pocket holster, but as an IWB, it just wasn't comfortable. Hence my search for a replacement.
The ordering process was simple and easy. The only confusion I had revolved around the body shield with 3 options being offered. I opted to go with the full shield thinking, if I did not like it, I could always have it cut down. As it happens, I liked it just the way it was. The day my holster arrived, I'd been wearing my Desantis IWB. I swapped them out and (as the teens say), OMG what a difference. The level of comfort was amazing. With the Desantis, I was always painfully reminded of my gun's presence and found myself constantly adjusting the gun to ease the ride. With the Treadstone, the only time I touched my weapon was to remind myself that it was there because it felt so light and small by comparison. My first thought was,"I bought the Shield because it was thin and concealable and this holster is the perfect compliment."
As to construction, this puppy is solid. The kydex is thick, fit and retention is perfect. The gun snaps in solidly and yet the draw is smooth. There are no sharp edges. The clip is solid making it easy to put on or take off. I believe the holster is warrantied for life (though I'd check the website to be sure).
After my purchase, I had a few questions. Ian was very responsive to my queries. The item shipped as promised and communication of status was provided in a timely manner. So, as you've probably guessed, I am a very satisfied customer at this point. I would happily recommend Overwatch Holsters in general, and "The Treadstone" specifically. You will not be disappointed in the product or in Ian.
Here are a couple of pics.
