the Fobus R/H Paddle it is PPS or SWS that fits the gun?

Looking at the two models on Amazon, both look to fit the Shield with the PPS having to ability to rotate. I've never owned a Fobus so can't recommend any of them.
 
I would stay from forbus unless you just want a holster to use at a range.
IMO they don't make quality products. Every holster maker makes Shield holsters. There are a lot of quality makers

I have the cobra gunskin shelby king of the range holster. I love it.
 
IWB OWB ???

Go with leather or Kydex or leather backing with kydex shell.

Stay away from molded plastic

You don't have to spend a fortune to get quality.

Look at Foxx Holsters ot Alien Gear or Bravo Concealment
 
IWB look at Multi Holster. There are many kydex holsters and then there is Multi Holster. Fantastic fit and finish. I love mine.
OWB look at Zlogonje Leather very nice pancake for $72.00
 
I was in the same boat as you not to long ago. I ended up going with Alien Gear and have been very happy.

Wild Bill's Concealment "Fusion Paddle Holster" (OWB) is what I use with my Shield. Used one with a Glock 23 before I retired. They also make holster belts and other types of holsters. Good quality and comfortable. Easy on and off.

They are out of NC and have a website.

Wright Leather Works. Top notch leather, fit and finish. Not cheap and be prepared to wait while they build it. I chose the "Predator" OWB model. Best holster I've ever had, and I've been around awhile. Google them.

I'd never heard of WLW until someone on this forum recommended them.
 
check out Don Hume "JIT" slide holster. I use this on my Shield and Kahr, both hold the firearm tight to my body, and is comfortable..

Another vote for Wright Leather Works. I have two of their "Predators" and even after three years, the fit and retention are still spot on. No one beats their workmanship and quality.

I am looking for a IWB holster. Not sure leather is the way to go. Any thoughts and opinions are helpfull.
 
I suggest Alien Gear, IWB Mod 3. Affordable, guaranteed, functional, comfortable, no break-in period. I've had mine almost three years for my Shield .40 S&W. Check out their products. They are a great company and stand behind their products 100%. Free shells for the holster. Drop by their website. Alien Gear Holsters.
 
I just ordered a Concealment xpress from Amazon for my Shield 45, will be here Sunday, I'll post a few words about it then

Looks like a nice rig..I like the carbon fiber ones.. unfortunately for me I carry appendix and every single clip holster I ever tried rides to close to the beltline and I can't get my fingers around the grip without fanageling the gun around.
 
My 2 cents
For a IWB Kydex which I love I have a Jel Tech.. $25.00 Very well made and John the maker is great to deal with, Shipping is fast he is in Cali and I am in Maine received in about a week or less ! I wear the Jel Tech 99% of the time!
JelTecHolsters – Budget Minded Products
Alien Gear also make a nice Hy bread holster in IWB and OWB. They have a great 2 fer deal and as you add guns you can buy a shell for the new model and mount it to the leather back pad. About 70$ for the 2 fer deal shipping 1 to 5 weeks

Let me help you out--they suck. Hope you get one that fits. I had to completely remold mine. Good luck--I went out and bought a Versa carry to hold me over.

Damn, not what I wanted to hear at all, It is to arrive today, so we'll see, good thing about Amazon is their return policy is second to none
