M&P Shield 9mm OWB Holster

[Pointblank2U]

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
here:

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 agree this is a great little holster. I got one for my Glock 26 and 19 also.

Yesterday, I bought a black Bulldog belt-slide (medium) for $22 at our LGS. It holds my 9mm Shield securely and tight at 3 o'clock. No printing even with the 8-round mag.

I recommend you look at the Wright Leatherworks Predator pancake holster, priced at $75.00. I carry my Shield in this holster, and find it very comfortable.
I'm carrying a bit more weight than I need, and found moving the holster back from my hip makes for easy pistol access and comfortable carry.

I have a cobra Hybrid on the way from them (if it ever gets here) that allows for similar OWB carry and optional IWB carry (clip or loop). Hopefully it will provide the best of both worlds. I just wish the manufacturing and lead time wasn't so long.

For now, I use a BlackHawk Serpa with a U-Mod clip for OWB and a Little Fox for IWB. They both work extremely well.

I second the K Rounds holster. It is far and away the best pancake holster I have ever seen. Super design and the tightest fit to the body of any holster out there. Melts away under a shirt. I getting one for my XD9 as well, and maybe some mag holders to boot.

I have a Blue Ridge Holster Discrete EDC. Fits great, contours close to the body and I do not know it is there. Took a couple of weeks to have it delivered, faster than most. Reasonably priced too.... $61

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

I plan to wear an OWB holster with my 9mm Shield. Concealed. Really want a paddle-style if I can find one that feels secure enough. I like the quick on-off a paddle gives me. I plan to use the holster under a shirt worn outside the pants.

The DeSantis model in the photo looks good to me. However, it also looks like it might carry the pistol high above the belt so that the grip would "flop out" a bit at the top, thus printing more than the holsters that carry the pistol more below the belt line. What's been your experience?

My DeSantis holds the grip very close.
I have tried and have a couple paddle holsters (Fobus) they are very convenient, but they don't hold the gun very close.

Thanks for that info. I will try to find one to try it out.

I have several holsters for my 2 Shields but my favorite by far
is my Alabama Holster Pancake. Like it so much I ordered a
IWB holster from them too.
