m&P shield 45 acp

[joeb1]

Just got the same today. E1 size? It says for Shield 9/40, but the 45 fits nice and snug, no barrel sticking out. It seems to expose a little more on the rear of thr trigger guard than I would like. What say you?

EDIT: Now it's settling in a bit. Trigger guard is well covered, but my muzzle is protruding about 1/8".

Anybody try the BLACKHAWK! Tec Grip? It's a clipless grippy (very grippy) IWB.

Conclusion: The Shield 45 is not the best for front pocket carry. It fits well down in the intended Carhartt front pocket, but 1) it's big and heavy, 2) the pocket material itself moves too much, and 3) the rear sights snag when trying to draw. A holster that shrouds the sights would probably do better, but that's going to add even more bulk. Oh, and 4) it prints. I may keep this Desantis; it may work well in a bag or something, just because I'm a firm believer you should never carry a gun anywhere with the triggerguard exposed.

Founder's Series - Holsters - Shop

I just bought a Cross Breed Founders Series holster which I love. I found it to be one of the most comfortable holster around. It fits my shield 45 perfectly.

Take a look at Vedder Holsters, Dara Holsters and Tulster Holsters. All good options for the Shield, I bought a Vedder Light Tuck and it is great. Good luck on your purchase.

I got a N82 for my shield 45. Do not like it. Really uncomfortable, and they claim to be THE most comfortable. I have not had time to deal with returning it. Maybe I can pawn it off on someone.

I've got a DESANTIS MINI SCAB M&P45 SHIELD RH B for my 45. I have one of these for every pistol I have. I really like them.

The Concealment Express IWB for my 9mm fits the .45 by loosening the tension screw a couple of turns.This is a really comfortable holster that makes the gun practically disappear.

Really? I have a CE for my .45, and the 9 fits with a little room to spare, so I figured the 9 version would be too short for the .45.

I like Desantis holsters, and have several. I have my Shield 45 in a Desantis mini skabard at the moment. It's outside the waistband. Yet, it conceals well, especially with the flush magazine.

Just ordered the DeSantis mini scabbard and a DS paddle holster.
