Angled IWB 4 o'clock Shield Holster.

I carry at the 4 o'clock position and use the MTR Custom Leather dual carry. It is molded for the Sheild and fits like a glove. Has enough cant to make it easy to draw. It does not, however, orient the pistol in your desired position. A left handed version, in my opinion, would make it hard to draw. My concern with your method would be that such a draw would just about guarantee the muzzle would be pointed at you at some pound during the draw.

Yep, it would make the muzzle pointed at me, which is why I decided to just go with a right-handed holster and play it safe. I bought an Alien Gear Holster a couple days ago, and am looking forward to it coming in.

I am looking for a holster for my new S&W M&P40 for my new carry pistol.

I am planning on carrying it in the 4 o'clock position, or right behind my right hip. Looking at holsters, it would make sense to get a lefthanded holster to use for this position.

The question comes up that I would really prefer to have the 15° angled holster for easier access. So I want a holster that if you are looking at my back, the pistol's magazine well is facing my right side and angled towards my right cheek.

Does anyone else carry like this? Or where would I start looking for a good holster?

Based on how I read your post you want the back of your hand against your back when you holster/draw your gun. If that is the case, yes, a LH holster would work for this carry. And yes 15° negative (may not be the right term) cant is what you should consider. That will make for an easier draw. If you get one that is adjustable you can make anything within the range of the design.

Like this with a little more cant:
