My new shield holster

[bowhunter81]

I saw a review from another member on here and I liked what I saw so I ordered one for myself. This guy does amazing work and for only 35$. His name is Dave Pipenger.
I emailed him at [email protected]
the dude emailed me back in less than an hour. I asked him a string of questions, because I wanted mine a little different, and really I was slightly skeptical. He answered all my questions so I put an order in. In less than a week I had my holster in my hand. Really I don't think I could be more pleased with a product. He sent me extra fasteners just in case I lost some, who does that? He should be charging what the big guys charge for what you get. All the edges are very clean and polished. The fit of the holster to my side is superb, no edges rubbing or pinching. Both sets of belt loops, for OWB and IWB. I don't typically carry OWB but what the hell I might try it since I have them for the same holster.

The pics below are IWB obviously, don't mind my big fat belly. I have other IWB holsters that are the hybrid design, I like those but this one is perfect for me and the way I like to carry. You guys should give this dude a shot. I've spent more than double that on more than a few holsters I still own. This guy will be getting another order form me for my M&P fullsize 9.

Nice looking rig...my only concern would be that those rigid OWB slots might dig into my side under the belt. Most kydex makers use those flat loops on the backside of the holster.

actually thats what he does but i wanted those wings on both sides. They fit me very well, i've had others this way. Dave told me the same thing you did when I asked him for those instead.

I find that even leather slots under the belt can dig in. So I try and use thin slots whenever possible. Although I rarely carry Owb. IWb seems to work best for me.
