Under $50 IWB Shield Holster?

[jollyroger0331]

This is a crossbreed style holster. Very comfortable, sits nice and tight and Desantis has a pretty good reputation for good holsters. I don't have an exact link but I got mine at gunholstersunlimited.com, they have same day shipping too, and everything I've ordered from them has been delivered pretty fast.

I had a Winthrop IWB holster for my Shield until I sold it. It's $5 more than your max, but it's also 100% leather.

Custom Smith & Wesson M&P Shield IWB Holster

I have one for my XDS45 and it's very comfortable wearing it all day long. I like it more than the kydex/leather hybrids, although I use one of those (Old Faithful) for my XDS when I know it's going to be super hot out.

Are the belt loops snaps, or are they riveted?

I have hundreds and hundreds of dollars invested in holsters over the years.

I carry my Shield in a cheap, nylon clip-on IWB DeSantis holster that I paid something like $14 for. Most comfortable carry ever, perfectly concealable, and I can reholster 1-handed.

OK, I have to update - recently was ordering an Alien Gear for my M&P 9, and decided to do their 2-pack special and get one for the Shield as well. It's as comfy as the Nylon, and shifts around far less - I have a new holster.

I ordered an AlienGear holster, but I'm tired of waiting and just might cancel my order. I would love to know what under $50 mass produced holster you all are carrying your shield's in? Please post pics, reviews, and links if at all possible TY.

Two excellent small makers that provide excellent design, materials and workmanship with quick delivery:
Kestrel Holsters | Custom Kydex Holsters - 2 weeks in my experience, most comfortable kydex because of excellent design. $30 + $3 ship

"Solo" Single Clip Holster | Ozarks Holster Company - 1 to 2 weeks and the Solo will work real well if you want comfortable and tuckable. $40 + $5 ship

Keep in mind these are custom made to the Shield and fit better than most commercial holsters.

I have the DeSantis SOF-TUCK and I love it. I wear it everyday in the 1 o'clock appendix carry and it's great. Adjustable cant and depth and also shirt tuckable, if you need that.

I was using that DeSantis SOF Tuck:

but switched to a Safariland Model 27 holster after picking it up for $21 at the NRA Convention in Indy. For the first time I looked it up on their site and realized I got one heck of a deal!

Inside-the-Pants Concealment Holster - The Safariland Group

So while I recommend the holster, I'd recommend not going through their site as $52 is outrageous. Amazon lists it for ~$36.
