I ordered a new Shield today....

M&P .45 Shield 2.0

Should be here next week.

What OWB holster would you recommend?

 

[pantannojack]

Good choice. I love my 45 Shield. Can't help with a OWB, I use a IWB comfortably. Light enough to forget it is there.

I've never even held one in my hands. LOL

I put a Hogue HandAll grip sleeve on mine, adds a little grip mass. Hard to slip on but some Windex lubricant helps, maybe heat it up in some warm water. Trigger not as good as a Kframe, but it breaks in some.

I had a Glock M36 and I didn't trust it. It had a jamming issue.
Had two "Glock" friends tear it apart, inspect, clean and lube it to no avail.

I ended up giving it to a friend who was aware of its issue.

My M&P .45 has worked flawlessly since day one. Hundreds of rounds before I ever cleaned out all the assembly lube and junk.

Decided I wanted another small .45 auto so for me the Shield was a no brainer.

Thanks. I put some rounds thru it and see how I like it.

Don't know if you want leather or kydex. I've got an owb kydex holster made by 'On Your 6 Designs' that I have been very happy with. I actually have several of their holsters and the execution of the design is very good, price is very reasonable and delivery was reasonable. I actually have several of their holster for numerous guns.

Thank you.
I'm thinking more like the kydex over the leather.
I will will check them out.

I use a belt slide for a 1911 for my 45 Shield. Perfect fit. Not loose. Conceals perfectly under an untucked shirt.

I like my Desantis thumb break scabbard if you go leather. Bought it on Amazon.

 

[rbmac52]

I have a DeSantis Mini-Scabbard for each of my Shields (9mm, .40, .45) and use the corresponding DeSantis double mag carrier.

 

[Dave686]

I too like the Desantis thumb break 3 slot.

 

[rubiranch]

Will the Shield .45 2.0 and the Shield EZ9 fit the same holster?

No they won't

 

[ColbyBruce]

I use the DeSantis Mini Scabbard (?).

 

[rubiranch]

No they won't

thank you

Thank you everyone for your help.

This is the one I just ordered.

I use a Kramer pancake OWB holster and I am extremely happy with it. It's pricey at $126 but worth it.

If I'm not happy with the one I bought that's the one that will replace it.

I know you already made your choice but can't go wrong with Safariland ALS, I love mine and you can get them around $50.
