Gents, thinking about picking up a shield 45 for carry. What are you guys carrying your shields in for holsters?

picked up an alien gear for mine. it's a decent rig. if you can afford it the stealthgear is MUCH nicer.

i have a stealthgear for my mp 9mm. MUCH better built than the alien gear. that said the AG is half the price and as small as the shield is i am not sure it will be worth the upgrade in price.

jmho from someone that owns both. if you want quality the stealthgear can't be beat.

I have been using the Stickyholster for a while with my Shield 9mm.

I have a few IWB Kydex holsters made by Concealed Weapons Solution in Florida. The holsters I have are better built than some others out there and I would not have bought four of them, if they weren't good quality. I have no affiliation with the manufacturer but have given him rave reviews to many people. He can make/ship a holster for you in under 5-7 days if he does not already have them made, ( which he does have a good stock for most common pistols),which is a lot quicker then some other holster makers. I bought one for my 9mm Shield and have no complaints. I paid around $40.00 shipped, (plain black with black belt clip),for mine but it would be a few dollars more if you want a custom color or design. He is a member on another forum I frequent and has been there quite a while.

I don't have the .45, but I carry my 9mm Shield in a Stealth Gear AIWB. Very comfy holster.

I think you mean Complete Weapon Solutions

Shield is a very popular model for me and the .45 shield mold should be in his week.

Looks like this is the best option for that style of holster. Alien Gear has no idea when they will get to the 45 shield, and stealth gear never answered me back when I asked them of their timeframe to support the 45 shield.

I use a Galco King Tuk and highly recommend it. I wear it at the 5:00, and a Crossbreed tuckable magazine carrier at the 11.

I run the same setup with a P226 as well.

G-Code/HSP Incog holster. In hindsight, I would have opted for the Incog Eclipse w/ the single clip. Very comfortable, very well made, adjustable retention.

I have a Shield 9mm and use a DeSantis Intruder IWB holster. Excellent quality, carries securely, and very comfortable for extended use.

Got an email back from stealth gear, the iwb holster for the shield 45 will be available in a week and a half.

Going to go with them.

You could look at Nate2Tactical. I use their IWB with my XD45 (yeah, it's not a Shield), and it is one of the most comfortable holsters that I have ever used.

I like simple, easy on/off, adjustable cant and retention, very thin but sturdy, comfortable, reasonable price $55.

Here's one that is similar in design to the Stealth Gear, but about half the price, about $50 if you shop around. I have one for my M&P40c and one for my Shield 40, I really like them.

Alien gear tuck 3.0. Very happy with it.

Just ordered this from Amazon as a smaller option: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HU8C4CQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Will post a review once I have some time with it.

I'm using Desantis Inside Heat holsters for several smaller pistols. Cheap and effective.

I've always been a leather guy but I've been very happy with this kydex rig from B3 Concealment.
Easy on/easy off and blazing fast to draw.
