Recommendations for a Shield Plus IWB?

I have gone thru 3 IWB holsters for my Shield Plus and all 3 had the same problem - pinching the skin between the kydex and the mag release - - especially when re-holstering. Seems I can't find a holster maker that makes an IWB that covers the mag release. The 2 that I contacted state they are not covered for fear of accidental release. I can't imagine that if the kydex was extended past the release and given enough of a bump-out and return to prevent it from touching the release would be such a major ordeal. Anyone else deal with this?IMG_20250711_095343209.jpg

Perhaps a small flap of leather would be sufficient to cover that area.
 
I carry lefty so I wouldn't have that problem. I have never changed a mag release, I think hitting it not with your thumb is objectively better.
 
I've had good luck with my CrossBreed AIWB holster (kydex and leather), and I use a Clinger Cushion to keep the butt tight pressed against my body. It doesn't completely cover the mag release, but may keep you from being pinched.

Try CYA holsters. They make a great IWB holster and they all cover the mag release.
I've bought 3 of then and I don't even know i'm wearing them.
Veteran owned too.

What he said. You can buy one of these from Amazon for about $40. Be sure and get the one for Shield Plus. The one for the older Shield will press on the magazine release.
