Shield .45

[Florida J Frame]

Is anyone carrying the Shield .45 as an EDC? Looking at a Performance Center model for just over $500 and wondering how hard it will be to conceal in warm weather.

Shield 45 for over a year now EDC...Shield 9 before that...carry appendix...have no problem with concealment..none at all..would not change a thing (gun or carry position)....well maybe one change....Shield 9 with magguts +2 extensions in all mags. Giving that idea some serious thought.

I've carried my Shield .45 regularly for the past year. I carry in my front pocket with a DeSantis Nemesis holster, or in a 5.11 holster undershirt. Either way, it's an easy carry.

I EDC the Shield 45 appendix IWB and with some trial and error in finding the right holster for me, have no problem with concealment or comfort.

What holster did you decide on?

I have no problem concealing my Shield 45.

Still no Streamlight tlr6 mount for the Shield 45. What is Streamlight thinking?

JM Custom Kydex AIWB. E-mailed Tony, the owner, and went with his advice as to which holster, etc.
I have been very satisfied.

I carry my shield 45 iwb 3:30 position in a crossbread super-tuckit. Very comfortable and concealable.

The Shield .45 is a great carry gun. Would have killed for one in the '70s when I started packing.

I can recommend the Mag Guts product line. They just need to come out with some goodies for the .45.

I like an in the waist holster that holds a spare mag from Bagmaster. Very high quality, I've never worn one out.

I carry in an Alien Gear IWB mainly in the summer. OWB I make my own holsters. Th Shield 45 semi replaced my Glock 19. It carries a bit easier and what I lose in capacity I make up a bit in Big Holes.
