Under $50 IWB Shield Holster?

I have an onyour6 holster for about 2 days before I ordered a Cooks adjustable cant holster. The onyour6 holster, at least mine, rode a bit too high for my liking in the appendix postion and would stick out when sitting up. Also didn't really like the clip because I think its too small. Love the Cooks holster and have zero complaints. Might do a give away for the holster.

I canceled on the 29th. I just shot them an email, my order was canceled, and money refunded. I'm glad they took so long. During that time I had time to shop for other holsters, an realized I didn't want a holster that takes up that much real estate on my waste.

Jersey James, if you go to there facebook page, you'll see that there are many waiting longer than you... Too many options and competition out there to have to wait 2 months for a simple holster.

I was going to order a holster from Alien Gear but was turned off by the wait time. I bought an OWB Discreet EDC holster from Blue Ridge Holsters and I am very pleased with it. I do not remember the wait time but it was not long. Most companies make to order do not seem to have any inventory. Blue Ridge Holsters have IWB as well and they are reasonably priced. I like to have options with holsters depending on what I wear.
 
I like my onyour6 holster. It's my second one besides my standard remora and it's been great so far. I wear mine in the 3-4 o clock position.
I'll be looking into some of these mentioned in this thread.
 
I've tried a handful of holsters for the Shield including the N82 which I found to be very comfortable. I currently carry a DeSantis Intruder which I love.
It usually takes a few weeks of carry to get any IWB holster to mold to your body and to get your carry position dialed in with cant adjustment or positioning.

I'm sure that time frame is due to the amount of orders they're getting so I bet their business is doing pretty good.

I wear my Old Faithful at the 3:00 or 3:15 position and it never causes printing. I'd wear the Alien Gear the same way.

I have tried many holsters for my Shield but finally found what works for me. Check out the "kangaroo" holster. Can hardly tell you have it on and no way anyone will see as well.

I have two of those one for Glock 19 and the Shield, for the money the Outbags is really a high quality holster. Made me realize there are still companies out there that don't gouge their customers.:)
 
I received my PJ Holster in the mail yesterday. It fits like a glove; couldn't be happier. I will post a review of it this weekend.
 
Try mulitholsters quick ship iwb...I ordered on a Thursday and had it the following Monday morning with the mail. I carry 4 o'clock when I ride my motorcycle and appendix when not and its comfortable both ways.

I will second that. I have a Wild Bill Covert Carry that I rarely use, I find it a bit too thick since I usually carry with my normal waist size pants instead of going a size larger. I also have a Remora that I use more often, but I use the PJ Holster almost every day. It is very comfortable, fits the Shield perfectly and is adds virtually nothing to the width of the gun. It was well worth the wait. I got the clip on loop option.
 
It's worth the wait, ......and while you're waiting stick that shield in your pocket until it gets there!

I just got this one yesterday morning and I've been wearing it ever since. So far so good.
It's an all kydex IWB made by stayholstered1 on ebay. Adjustable retention, 1 1/2" belt clip, moulded perfectly.

Price was $40.

He customized it (no extra charge) for me by raising the holster so it rides higher. Reason being, I like being able to get a full grip on the gun instead of trying to dig it out from behind my waist band/ belt.



 
Badger State Holsters. This guy is near to me and does excellent work. Sells holsters either locally or on ebay. I just couldn't get used to a large piece of leather on my side. A slim Kydex holster works best for me but to each their own.

I tried a 4cornersconcealment holster with the clip that is screwed-on (as a number in this thread are). The quality of the holster was fine...I was pleased with it from that perspective. But the screw-on clip adds some width, and the holster itself has to be wider to allow for a small "hood/recess" area where the screws are so the back-side nuts don't scratch the gun. It doesn't sound like much width, but every tenth of an inch counts when it's inside your waistband.

Short of something like a Versacarry, the PJ Holster was the thinnest and slimmest holster out there. It's the closest thing to not having a holster at all. It adds almost nothing to the width of the gun and conceals very well. I found that the 4cornersconcealment holster rode way too high for me. I want the magazine release to be right about even, or very slightly above, the waistband. With a good forward cant, the grip sticks up enough for a full shooting grip.

I bought an in-stock PJ Holster. He has some that are either mistakes (like making a RH custom job for a southpaw) or canceled orders. The one I bought has a 20 degree cant with a 1.5" closed loop. Must have been a custom order that someone canceled. I like the 20 degree cant so well, I'll order the same angle for any future order I place with Paul.

I just ordered On Your 6 for a MP45c and a Shield 9 ($30 each).
Will let you know how they work. I do like to be able to remove the weapon and holster together, quickly. I frequent hospitals (no carry allowed) and so I need to be able to disarm quickly in the car. Have a Crossbreed for the shield, it is very good, but difficult to remove and then re-install while in the car. I like to be able to grab the holstered weapon, quickly stick it IWB and go. Will let you know how the 6's work.
 
I have the Sof-Tuck for my snubbie and it is very good for the money. I picked up a Gould & Goodrich ambidextrous holster for the Shield while waiting on the PJ Holster. It is minimalistic and conceals very well. I actually like it very much. Before the PJ Holster, I used it almost every day. Gould & Goodrich | B892-2 Ambidextrous Holster

I've been using the DeSantis for about a year with no issues.

I'd second Bishop99s' suggestion. Right now for that price you can't go wrong. Another would be the Sticky holster. Either of these are a good option, as there are no loops or clips to fool with, and they can be positioned anywhere (pick an o'clock position, left or right handed, canted, cross draw, appendix, or in your pocket). These are like a good watch, set it and forget. They just don't move. Due to lack of attached loops and clips and backing ect., they don't add anything to you waist but the size of the gun.

You say you are looking for a gun holster that is under $50 bucks? Then you should check out the leather belt slide holster by Tagua Holsters. You can pick one up for around $29 dollars. It's made of leather so it will not damage your handguns like the kydex style holsters will.

I have to say, this is the one gun holster that I always end up going back to again and again. It will hold any style handgun, large or small that I wish to carry anywhere from a large Springfield Armory full size 45 down to Kahr PM9. And if you really want to carry small and light during the Summertime season, then try this holster with the Ruger LCP.

As an added bonus, if your handgun has a laser installed on it, then it will carry it without any problems or without modifications required.

You can wear it in the appendix or 1 o'clock postion or all the way around to center back or 6 o'clock position. Works for both left handers or right handers alike.

I have a drawer FULL of gun holsters by Crossbreed, Alien Gear, Hidden Hybrid, On Your 6 Designs, Blackhawk and on and on but I can always rely on this simple design, belt slide style holster for all occasions. Get you one and you too will see why it is the way to go when carrying concealed.
