I did the usual thing people do when they buy a new pistol...had to buy several different holsters before I found a good match. Fortunately I didn't spend much $$ before I found the right one. First one was a Uncle Mikes IWB which was ok but that belt holder felt like it was always slipping.
Yesterday, I had a coupon from Cabelas for employee discount and that turned out to be 25% so I picked up two holsters- IWB Galco ST0286 Stow-n-Go model for the Glock 26,27,33 and it fits perfect. Nice comfortable ride even sitting in the car. The other one was a Bulldog, leather belt slide Medium for autos and it fits a wide range of guns. Another perfect fit and very comfortable. Both seem pretty well made. and the discount at Cabelas plus some points I had on my credit card made it very nice as an after-Christmas present to me.

I bought a stow and go also and liked it. I just purchased a lasermax for my Shield so I am searching again for a holster. I liked the N82 tactical pro but it does not fit with the laser. Crossbreed super tuck looks like it might be the choice.
 
Here are the pics.

Still doing the same thing...got a blackhawk iwb, no cant to it, so on to a fobus paddle...and I might just have to try the one you picked up too..
 
I like both of these a lot. More comfortable than some other ones I have tried. The leather and stitching look like they will hold up to everyday use and I didn't spend much on either one.
 
Stow n go

Where do you wear that stow n go? I like the 3-4 position, but without any can't does it make the grip print towards the rear. I'm a skinny guy so I don't have much room to give up. heck thats why I got the shield and carry with the 7 and not the 8 mag. I did some testing just kinda putting it in my wasteband to see how it would ride in a holster like that and it may work at the 3 position or maybe closer to 2:30. I can tell you I was sure i'd avoid the holster drawer but I think thats harder then it looks..LOL
 
I use stow n go either at 230-3 position or on my left weak side at 9-930. Either way it's ok for my body type and comfortable either way.
 
I went with the N82Tactical original holster. So far I really like it for the comfort and fit.
 
Another vote to the Remora. I like the RFT for reholstering as well. I had a problem with the trim positioning over the mag release since I'm left-handed, but Alan at Remora took care of me. Great CS!
