Holsters for .45 Shield

[dben002]

Thanks, that's good to know. The rep said they didn't have any for the 3.3" barrel at all... How do you like them?

For me there are only a couple of makers I will use.

Foxx, Alien, Lobo Gun Leather, and with Glock's.....Bravo.....
All well made, and comfortable......
I also am waiting for the Shield 45 Shape Shift from Alien.

Shield 9/40/45 PC or NON PC same holster(s) fits um all.
Especially in leather the minimal size difference between 9/40 and 45 is made up in give by the leather.

Thanks, a lot of good info in this thread. I really appreciate it, especially as it was my first post here. You never know how a forum is gonna turn out...this one is pretty good already!

Alien Gear has shells (the Kydex part) for the 45. I bought an AG for my Glock 19 and a shell for the Shield 45. They swap out. They have screw adjustments and different standoffs to make the perfect fit. I used the AG for my Glock and made my own for the 45 shell.

What are you thinking for your first holster, In the waist, Out of the waist? I like OWB due to age and I don't want to buy bigger pants. I also use a Remora holster ($25ish) for IWB (no belt needed) and for storage.

For now, IWB. Between SC carry laws and the heat, IWB makes more sense. Although we may be moving down to FL soon...

Erik, look at the Remora holsters or similar. You can place them any way you wish and and get used to carry. Then figure where and what cant (angle) you like then invest in a more expensive holseter. The IWB are a bit sweaty (I'm in the ATL).

the new shape shift for the 45 is under development.



.........

Waiting on that one!

You're kidding right ??????????????? Can't find a holster for Shield 45 ?????? from the 30 or so holster makers that make them...

A lot of them for Shield don't fit the .45 just right. Check out this new feature at Midway USA:

Not so with plastic/Kydex

I use 3 different holster for my .45.
Mostly I use my stealthgear ventcore mini IWB and its fantastic, especially in Florida the way that it wicks sweat away from the gun.
I also have a leather OWB from Mitch Rosen, the upper limit express, and it is very comfortable.
Lastly I have a kydex from concealment express for quick trips and convenience.
They all fit the .45 just fine and are good holsters for their intended purpose.

These guys make nice Kydex products, and they make a holster for the .45 Shield.
I just bought 3 of their holsters, two for me and one for my daughters 9mm, really reasonable prices.

+1 on Vedder. I have a dozen holsters of all kinds, leather and kydex, ranging from $40 to $100 and the Vedder Light Tuck is my favorite. Mine is for my 9/40 but am going to pick one up for my 45 soon.

I'm a fan of the Blackhawk serpa system, has anyone found a Blackhawk holster that accommodates the .45 Shield? The Blackhawk website says model 63 but the .45 will not fit in a 63.
