IWB Shield Holsters

[Audiman77]

If you carry appendix, give G-Code Incog or Phlster Access/Skeleton a shot. I have both and use them regularly. A thorough comparison of the two here. I've previously tried Alien Gear before I decided I much prefer appendix carry. Alien Gear is a good deal for its price.
Between the Incog and Phlster, it was basically options & belt clip (Incog) vs. simplicity & belt-loop (Phlster). Both are comfortable (no sharp edges), accessible (adjustable for full grip), and safe (retention and trigger guard protection).

I put my incogs through their paces. I've gotten into fights on the ground while working multiple times, and my glock 27 or 23 has never fallen out. The holster is crazy durable. I actually just ordered the incog eclipse this morning. No need for the mag caddy

The best I have found.....

Carry style: Appendix
Holster: FoxX IWB
Note: This is FoxX small of the back holster. Was chosen because the shell is straight up and down which is what I want for appendix carry. Now if you carry appendix and are right handed you have to choose the left hand draw small of the back and vise versa for left handed shooters.

Also this holster works at 2, 3, 4, or 5:00 o'clock as well if you want a no can't holster.

Notice just how well this holster carries the weapon close to the body. IMO it's just perfect for concealed carry purposes.

I love my PJ Holster, worn at 4:00. Mine has a custom 20 degree cant to it. The holster is so thin, it's just like stuffing the gun into your waistband. They're simple: no screw-on clips that add thickness...just one piece of Kydex. PJ Holsters also have a retention adjustment screw, which is a must for Kydex holsters in my humble opinion. They come with a lifetime warranty for the original purchaser.

Concealment Solutions Black Mamba Combat edition. I like this a lot better than the Alien Cloak Tuck I bought for my XDs, because it is easy to reholster, where the Alien collapses. Its also very comfortable, but a lot of that is attributed to the Shield's size and non aggressive curves and textures.

Looking for a Single Clip? I MUST get me one of these for my Shield and my XDs. Somebody posted a photo of one made for his XDs from Insane Kydex Creations, on the Defensive Carry Forum, and wow! does it look nice - and generating lots of positive feedback.

Love my new Holster

I just tested a DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster as an IWB at 4:00 position. No undershirt, just my shorts with belt and skin with tshirt (my normal clothing). I did a series of draws, including walking around the store a bit and drawing, and reholstering. The holster never budged and top never collapsed to make reholstering difficult. It retained the level and cant I set it at. What I like is that you can adjust both at any time without messing with clips. I'm no expert, but for the limited times I'm away from home and carrying this seems a good option.

Okay, I hereby resurrect this thread-- I have a pair of Shields coming, a 9mm with the "night" sights (might just be white dots, hard to tell across the 'net, but they'll do) and one of the Performance Center .40s with the ported barrel and the fiber-optic sights-- I remember the 1911s with the Schuemann top-ported barrels, and am eagerly waiting to touch this particular firework off. Also it's the first .40 I've owned, so there's that-- another caliber to feed. I expect my wife to declare joinder with the 9mm in short order, so have been looking for iwb rides for them, and look who popped up in the Google search! I really like the JP like hokiefyd's, I definitely think less is more with these little things, but I have to admit I haven't cared much for Kydex-- too stiff, I like a holster that moves with me, but of course always willing to learn. I really like the High Noon Alter Ego on the first page of this thread-- very reminiscent of an ancient little clip-type belly pouch by Bianchi that my J Frame rides in now-- very comfortable.

So we're open for business again, show me what's happening in the world of light IWB's for these pistols these days, if you'd be so good, or just show me your rides and tell me how you like them--

I use the Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 3.0 for my Shield 9 (with Crimson Trace Laser). I absolutely love it--nice and comfortable. I have no problem reholstering with it. I liked it so much, I ordered another one for my Colt .45 M1911 full-size pistol. The M1911 being a heavy pistol, I wanted comfort and the AG holster does a great job of not only concealing, but distributing the weight--adding comfort.

IMHO the Remora holster is the most comfortable holster ever made, by a mile

My Shield 40 loves it
