I purchased my .40 Shield on Saturday. Ordered the N82 professional on Saturday night. I am also looking at the Versacarry as a very lightweight option. Will probably get a pocket holster too. This website has been extremely helpful in researching and making decisions.
Shield IWB favorite?

StealthGear Mini.
I started with a N82 pro, but I used it in a CCW class and had an alarming failure to draw rate of about 60%. I was great in my living room but at full speed moving under duress that retention system would've gotten me killed. the Mini and the StealthGear "Flex" OWB holsters are basically all I use now (I tried the alien gear as well, did not work for me)

I bought a IWB on Amazon, made by CYA Supply Company about 3 weeks ago for my Shield 45 and love it. I've worn it all over the place including a 7 hour car trip and it was very comfortable. I wear it between 3&4 o'clock, that's where it seems to be the most comfortable for me.

I recommend a Bianchi Model 135 Suppression holster which can be found at the below link.
Model 135 Suppression™ Inside Waistband (IWB) Holster - The Safariland Group
That is probably one of the most comfortable holsters I have ever worn. I don't have one for my Shield, but I've carried a full size Glock 22/31 in it and you couldn't tell I was carrying a handgun. My second choice would be a Crossbreed Supertuck followed by Alien Gear.

I have a shield 45 , but love my iwb holster. Made by CYA supply co. (make9/40 holsters as well). Veteran owned and the customer service was great. accidentally ordered for a .40 and emailed them. Sent me out the right and new one for free and a return label for the other so i could send back. They are on amazon as well and i believe i paid around 30-35 for mine.
