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.

Went to Amazon and got a nice nylon one with a magazine pouch. Works just fine.
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!

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

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.

Nice looking holster. What color is this? It is hard to tell with the small samples on their website.
Thanks!

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
As I was heading out to the range, the mail man delivered the Concealment Xpress holster for my Shield 45, my initial impressions are, I love it! fit is spot on, I'll do a small review later on. Guess I lucked out with fantastic fitment

Hey, that's great! I'm sure they just screwed up and labeled the package wrong and I ended up with a bad size. I crucified them on Amazon--so I'm sure they will appreciate a nice review.

Looked thru all the suggestions and I can't believe someone hasn't told you about N8²Tactial!
I have a drawer full of holsters and I always revert back to my N8. It is the most comfortable one I have. I can and do wear it all day long. I wear shorts and T shirts an it does not print. Check them out at N82 Tactical!

I just bought A CYA IWB holster. It's a veteran owned company and probably the best holster you can get for a shield.......IMHO of course.

I use a Fobus SWS for my Shield 9. It's a paddle style holster, OWB. I prefer a paddle because I can quickly remove it when I am in the car. Trying to drive with a holstered pistol on my side sucks. It's basically a no-go. So the Fobus paddle is a good fit for me.

I have no problem driving with an OWB, unless the barrel is too long, for example, a Model 10 with a 6" barrel. With the Shield 9 don't even know it's there.

I have a Jel Tec for my 45 Shield and love it. I have slightly modified it to make it even more comfortable. He uses 2 retention screws below the trigger guard. One is sufficient so I removed the bottom one and trimmed back the excess kydex I also opened up the holster above the mag release on the right side of the gun to get an even better grip when drawing. I absolutely love it.
