Tommy Theis holsters.
TheisHolsters.com | Holsters | Belts | Clips I got the iwb tuckable with the full slide coverage. He makes each one to order. I got it because I wanted to carry on my waist and it was cheaper than the crossbread and had good reviews.

I purchased the IWB Galco King Tuk I love it, I forget thru the Day the Gun is even on me!, wish I knew about te King Tuk 2 which has a magazine holder in it also. I first had the Galco leather on the belt Holster Combat Model that is very comfortable too, it was good with heavy winter jackets but the gun showed if I did a lot of reaching, the King Tuk doesn,t show at all and should be good for summer months.

Yes I had to start wearing suspenders when I started carrying. My hips and butt have moved to my belly and it doesn't matter how tight I pull the 1 3/4" 5.11 gun belt my pants will slide down. I wear a cover shirt and it hides the gun and the suspenders. I will be 70 this year so it doesn't matter it they see them anyway.

Perry makes good suspenders. Since mine are covered by my cover shirt I replaced the snaps with small carabiners that fasten to the pants belt loops. No more having them come unsnapped .

so I got my shield back yesterday post Ma compliant trigger job. He brougt it down to a 5.5 pound pull.
What a difference, I'm not a sniper with this thing but my groupings were way better. I reused a target that was left behind and stuck a splatter target on . most of the shots outside of the black were done by the earlier shooter.
I was pulling way down and to the right , now I'm much more consistent..level (still to the right a bit) but enough to make me like this gun a lot more. I was on the fence about trading it in for a 9mm C
but with the new grip and trigger she is now a keeper. At 30 feet
new grip
once I got a little dialed in I was grouping just off to the right almost dead center.

Let's take it a little further. What is that grip and does it stay put?

I have talon rubber grips on underneath(which helps hold this grip in place nicely). It widens it up a bit and helped me considerably today. So far it has stayed in place just fine. On the 21rst of this month I am taking the "Conceal Carry II" class at MFS four hours of defensive work "The class will cover:
- Combat grip, stance & trigger control
- The Draw from multiple positions & concealment
- Speed reloads
- Type 1 & 2 malfunctions and their clearing procedures
- Movement, verbal commands & shooting at the same time"
it's the 2nd of a series of 5 classes.
I'll have a much better idea then. I've shot it twice at the range so far with this grip on ...no problems yet.

Looks like a nice holster. I am trying to find an OWB holster for my Shield. Really don't want to have to get bigger pants to make a IWB work.
I currently use a Fobus Paddle Holster for my M&P 9 FS and my Taurus PT-111 Millennium G2 9mm. They are very comfortable and stay in place nicely. No luck finding one of these so far for my M&P 9 Shield.

Hmmmm...that holster looks interesting. I'd like to hear a review after you've worn it for a while.
For my shield I went with the stealthgear onyx.
Super comfy and conceals great (N82 for my full Size .40 also super comfy)
I think I am going to pick up one of these for my shield (for next winter)

I love the looks of this one in particular.
I don't think OWB with a shield will be a problem with our new England winters. Plenty of cover up.
***EDIT actually I just ordered this zlogonje holster
