| For carry, do you prefer to have a holster with or without the body shield. What is the benefit to having it? Thanks for the input |

Body shield protects the slide and controls from your sweat. The grip is still exposed though and depending on how you draw you may not get your strong thumb in the correct position without a very minor adjustment. No body shield leaves the slide serrations and controls rubbing against your skin but lets you get a full firing grip on your draw.
Mine for my G26 has the body shield and I like it since I don't wear undershirts. Kydex can get a bit sticky feeling on bare skin but less obtrusive than slide serrations IMHO. The adjustment on draw for my thumb is so minimal I really don't notice it and it doesn't slow me down any from my already slow draw. YMMV. |
