M&P Shield 9mm OWB Holster

[XxLaloCuraxX]

I recently acquired a Shield and am looking for a OWB holster for when I carry. Haven't had much luck finding something that suits me yet so I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions. I'm a little heavy so I'm looking for something comfortable that wont dig into my sides when I sit in the car or on a couch. Anyone have any suggestions for something under $75?

Just got one from cabelas Bulldog manufacturer, belt slide type OWB nicely made. Around $30 if I remember right. Joe

PJ Holster. The Shield is light and small enough that you don't need all the bells and whistles. Good price, short wait times, and effective design. It takes a fraction of a second to take it on and off but the clip is very sturdy, retention is very strong which I like only for OWB, and it adds virtually no weight.

I got a Destantis that I really like.

I too am in the hunt for an OWB carry for a shield. While I haven't made a final decision, I am leaning heavily toward the Lobo Enhanced Avenger.
Lobo Gun Leather - ENHANCED AVENGER STYLE
All are made to order. The base price fits your budget, but there are extra's that you may prefer.

I got a Desantis mini-scabbard in black when i got my shield right away at the shop. Its simple and it looks really nice too

I am looking for an IWB myself now. I got a whitehat maxtuk but I didn't care for it the first time I had it out... maybe needs more break in

I like the Desantis holsters but no luck finding any place that have the, in stock. Been looking at the PJHolster and I think I'll give them a shot. I like the fact that they're so thin and light. Now I need to figure out if I want any cant on the holster since when I carry I plan on moving it to the 4 o'clock position a little further behind my hip...

Have you considered pocket carry? Desantis makes a nice one for
not much, its what I use for my 40c. I recently picked up a couple
of belt slide holsters by Don Hume on ebay, they were very reasonable
& the delivery was 2 or three days. They are very comfortable.

I'm a husky guy so my pants are already too tight on me anything I put in my pockets is going to be outlined and will just be uncomfortable. I'm good wearing it on the wait and ust putting a larger shirt on to cover it.

The Don Hume holsters look good as well, but I decided to give the PJHolster a try. I'll get it ordered and will post pics when I get it, maybe even a youtube review.

Thanks to all that helped. Perhaps this info will help others that are in my situation as well.

Try this one...

I know this is an older thread but go take a look at Working Dog Holsters

One of my coworkers makes custom IWB holsters. Very nice stuff at a good price point. You won't be disappointed with his product. Even if you don't need a holster now, please keep him in mind the next time you are in need of one.

Thanks!

I really like the Desantis mini scabbard.
I have one each for my LC9, M&p 9c, and shield.

I also use Desantis mini-scabbard for OWB for my Shield

 

[BibleDavid]

Have you checked out Winthrop Holsters? I just got a wonderful pancake holster from them for my M&P Shield and enjoy it.

Fobus paddle holster for the Walther PPS works perfect.

 

[DTWeaver]

The Desantis mini-scabbard is excellent. So is Fist Holsters OWB pancake. Have both--- recommend both.

Check out Raven Concealment Phantom holsters, and G-Code Incog Holsters. I use the Phantom with my M&P9c, I'm heavy in the waist and this holster carries secure with no bulge or digging art 2 and 3oclock. Best Holsters made in my opinion. Kydex 100%, life time warranty.

I'm extremely happy with my JM Custom Kydex OWB holster. Everybody has an opinion regarding holsters, as it's such a personal thing. My 2 cents worth is Tony makes a terrific fitting holster. It fits close, tight to t
The body and light weight with an adjustable tension screw. Just a great holster, all around.

Check out JM Custom Kydex....no affiliation.

Maybe i missed something but why would you or anyone opt out for a holster that is for a different pistol altogether when Fobus makes one just for the Shield. Try going to there web-site,>

Fobus Holster: S&W M&P Shield - EVOLUTION PADDLE HOLSTER

S&W M&P Shield - EVOLUTION PADDLE HOLSTER. I found this simply by looking in a Goggle search, > (Fobus paddle holster for the Smith & Wesson Shield.) And the site came right up wth it. What more can i say. If your looking for a reasonably priced holster and one that will not be affected by weather conditions/Humidity/perspiration etc. it's a very logical decision!

Shield OWB Holsters

I have the Desantis mini-scabbard as well as the OWB custom kydex from PJ Holster. Both are good holsters, but I prefer the one from PJ. It's lighter, thinner, prints less, easy on and off, and is very secure. I also have a custom kydex IWB holster from PJ that I also like very much.
