So call me a holster junkie. Actually I purchased a Shield about 4 months ago and absolutely love the firearm. Immediately after getting the Shield I immediately ordered an Alien Gear holster and a Remora Holster (w/Leather lining). I have these holsters for my Glock and Colt Pocketlite.
Well so it all works out I found a Viridian Laser (Reactor) which is ECR (Enhanced Combat Ready) equipped. Meaning it comes with a special holster that once the firearm is drawn allows the laser to turn on. I love it and it fits well on the Shield.
So one month later I realized the holster that it came with isn't really the best holster and of course the brand new holsters I got from AlienGear and Remora don't fit. They are still brand new. I checked with Alien Gear and no they don't make an ECR holster for the Shield. Only specific Crimson Trace Laser holsters.
Long story short - I decided to go ahead and order a Crossbreed ECR Equipped Mini Tuck for the shield. I'm really excited and will post back here when I get it how it works out. Definitely a step up from the holster that came with the Viridian Laser. Does anyone else have this holster? If so I would love to hear what you think.
BTW- If anyone is interested I would be willing to sell my Alien Gear or Remora holster for the Shield. They are new holsters and I can attest to their quality. They just don't fit a Shield with a laser. I paid a good penny for them due to shipping being about $9.00 each. I believe the Alien Gear was $35.00 + shipping & the Remora was $34.40 + shipping. So if anyone is interested I would be willing to give up for $30.00 each and I'll figure out the shipping. Just PM me if interested. I can't justify have 4 holsters and not using 2 of them
