2tango2, to get the style that I got, I think you would need to talk with Remora and maybe send a link to this post for them to see the pictures.
Hope that helps, Ron

Ron, Did you get the three photos that I sent you on 3/13 of my new Shield/Remora holster? I don't see them posted here as I requested you to do. Our computer is really acting up.

Hi nickel plate, I did not see an email from you. I am sending you a pm with my email again. I am happy to post them.

Thanks Ron, I'll try your e-mail again but this time with no verbage as I will tell you here that I will send you three photos. Photos one and two (front and back) show my updated Remora holster on the yellow packing slip. The third photo is from the Remora site, 3/13/2013 showing the old style holster which at that date was not yet updated to this version. We did just get back from our trip up to Mariposa where I carried the Remora/Shield holster around for most of the time and simply said it was a treat to wear. Jeans, shorts and sweats-all comfortable and the holster stayed in place while drawing and re-holstering every time.

I too went with a 6 ART RFT. Being left handed I had the eject issues as well. Remora sent me a replacement, no questions asked. Awesome service.
I use a 6ART RFT as my main IWB holder for the Shield, and absolutely love it 100%. Snag free draw and 1 hand blind reholstering not a problem. This is a keeper, and one of the least expensive holsters I've ever bought.

I still can't post photos here but my avatar shows the Remora 6ART-RFT ARTEMIS with my 9mm Shield.
Not only does it carry well, it also fits nice between my truck's front seats. Absolutely stays put wherever it's placed.
If you're on the fence about buying any Remora holster, their websit is running a 20% off sale to the end of this month!

Is the 6ART with the sweat shield?
Nickel,
Does your Shield have a laser? If not, based on how they mount to a Shield, do you think your Remora would still work with a laser?
I am still trying to figure out what to order.

Go to remoraholsters.com, open the online store tab and start the order process to see what they offer for your selected holster. They list various options and I believe one of them is for a laser fitted pistol. You can find that out before the actual purchase.

I returned mine about 10 days ago. In the mail today I got TWO holsters. They are apparently dedicated to making things right. Will post the models later and how they fit.
Sorry, what I meant was does anyone have a Remora ordered for a laser-equipped Shield, but has tested the holster without the laser installed? With all the 4ART vs 6ART vs custom size talk, i wondered how different a Remora holster is when ordered for a laser vs. without.
I even wondered if the "custom shield" cut included the sweat shield or not.
I'm undecided on adding a laser, and I don't want the sweat shield if it messes up the custom fit of the custom cut version.

Here is the 6 Art.
I like them both very well.
Can't say enough about Remora having good customer service.
I haven't carried either of these yet, so I can't say anything about how they carry.
Very happy with how the gun fits in either holster though. I don't have an issue with the sights snagging on the 6 Art, but do like the more open design of the 6 Art with sweat shield.
Thanks to everyone who participated in this thread.

Can you please post a photo of the back side of the Remora with the sweat shield? Is it a 6ART-RFT? My concern is the sweat shield compressing down on the magazine release thus dropping the mag unintentionally.
I got my 6ART today, and feel like the Shield sits too deeply in it. I can't get good purchase on the grip. It makes for a tough draw. I think if it were ~1 inch "shallower," everything would be fine.
I've got an email in to hopefully find an alternative. I've read the 4ART works.

Nickel plate...look at the package in the photo. It shows 6 Art SS. The back side if it would just be the back of the holster. It covers the gun.
As far as which one would offer a better grip, it would be the SS model for sure.
