IWB Shield Holsters

I picked up a BlackHawk size 3 tuckable brown holster on the cheap from Amazon the other day. It gets delivered today, so I'll see how it is. I may also have to get a good look at the MTAC...

.

Well, it just showed up. I'll have to try it on to be sure, but this may force me to look for an alternative. I'll take a couple pics too.

I've been using a cheapo Blackhawk in nylon, works ok but it's got that unversal fit to it.... It is comfortable and all and will work just fine till my remora gets here.:) Holsters for the shield are more scarce then the gun itself around me.
 
anybody else carry the shield in a holster made by Comp Tac?
 
Well I purchased a hybrid holster from Old Faithful Holsters, Steel clips, Horse hide, with Kydex holster. Like Crossbreed, Like White Hat, Like Comp-tac, but like a quality holster for $45 better. Only real difference is that I put in the screws. Not riveted like Crossbreed. For $14 I picked up another Kydex for my BT.380 to swap out on the same leather. Four screws to change guns.
 
I just got my Remora with the re-inforced top and sweat shield. Been using it for a few days now and I like it. Easy to put in-waist-band, the top stays open for one hand re-holstering and does not even move from where I tuck it in
 
I had a PPS holster by don Hume and it fits my shield Perfectly!
I carry IWB appendix (1:00) and this setup works like a charm for me. I can conceal with a thin fitted t-shirt.

Holster for Shield

I have a Crossbreed feels great and perfect fit. It was a 3 week wait after ordering, but it's a very comfortable holster. A friend of mine has the Hidden Hybrid Holster, similar design to the Crossbreed with a suede inner lining and it has a full length sight channel. This holster is worth taking a look at.
 
Single clip Kydex IWB

What single clip holster options are out there for the shield. I have a wild bill's but find it too bulky so looking for a kydex. I can't wear a full size double clip. Any advice greatly appreciated.
 
Holsters seem to be about as opinionated topic as guns. You can ask ten people and get elven different answers. For me, I have been happy with my hidden hybrid holster. Can be used as IWB or OWB. Either way very comfortable.

I have something exactly like this but in a Galco. Same shape etc, its for a Glock 26. The # is STO 286. Gander Mountain for $35. It more of a swade Leather though. Havent worn it yet but it will be at 1:00 position also. I like that Don H though. That looks nice.

I recently purchased an XDs, which is almost identical in size to the Shield. I intend to carry this pistol in a front pocket, and have ordered a holster from Ryan Grizzle. In the mean time, I find that the Galco pocket holster for a Glock 26 is a perfect fit, as is the DeSantis Nemesis (or SuperFly) for the G26 and similar pistols, such as a Kahr PM40 or PM45.

Even though the Galco and DeSantis holsters are functional, Grizzle forms them better to eliminate hard edges that might print, with just the right amount of retention.
 
Thanks. Is the Galco a kydex holster with single clip. Do you remember which model it was...
 
I too have a White Hat IWB that's currently in shipping that i'm all too excited to try out. Even bought myself a new belt to go with it!
 
I just got and am now wearing my MTAC holster...it is fantastic and so comfortable while sitting or driving or really doing anything else it is so great that I made a post about it soon after getting it. In that post you will notice that I also have a Crossbreed Super Tuck and I carried with it until today now it is in the MTAC and it will stay that way so I might sell my Crossbreed! Here's my thread that I wrote today after getting my MTAC in the mail: http://smith-wessonforum.com/smith-wesson-m-p-pistols/262132-my-new-minotaur-holster-shield.html
 
Here is a IWB holster I made a couple months ago based on the Crossbreed Supertuck. It took about 3 hours and about $6.00 bucks. I CC a Ruger P95 currently and at times I forget I have it on. The P95 is a bit chunky, but this holster carries it very well.

Have two. An Old Faithful and Kusiak Leather. The OF's most comfortable, but the Kusiak allows carry from appendix to 4 o'clock.
