OWB for Shield

[S&WForty]

I have read nearly every Shield IWB thread here, and I am happy with my PJ Holster IWB Tuckable that I got a few months ago. It is the version with the J-hook that is held down by the belt when drawing (holster itself fits over waistband of pants).

For the cool months, I would like an OWB holster that is mostly for weekend use where I will slap on a 1.5 inch "instructor's belt" and wear that over a pair of warmups. The belt must go through holes/loops as that is all that will hold the OWB in place.

I don't really mind Kydex worn IWB against my body, and since this is to be OWB I am leaning towards Kydex again. I'd like something under $50.

If anyone has a suggestion, I'd appreciate it.

PJ OWB....its what I use, works well, reasonable price...downside is long wait. Or Remora holster may work for you...I have couple of them and they work well in certain circumstances too.

Buy yourself a Lobo holster and you'll appreciate it. Ray is a member here and makes beautiful custom holsters in your price range!

I also like my Blackhawk Compact Askins holster for my 642, but that's the only one I like besides my Lobo's.

I'm a giant fan of X-Concealment holsters. Great quality and no absurd waiting period. Great price also.

Yes Lobo if you want leather.

For Kydex, Fobus is nice. Amazon is one source.

Beautiful. Did you get the slide shield option?

Thanks for the replies! The Lobos look really nice! I tend to bump into things, so I'm now leaning towards leather.

Oh!! Pictures !!!


Here's a close up of one of my Lobo Holsters... I think this one took a little over three weeks to get and cost me around $50. It is a beautiful work of art and I love to wear it!

Here's the same type for my 3913:

I, too, have an X concealment I picked up "used" for $50. New, they're a little more.

The best OWB kydex I have owned has been JM Custom kydex. Better than Raven, though, it's about the same cost. Wait time is only five weeks.

Desantis Mini Scabbard is a good choice.
