Re: S&W Shield holster options
If you plan to carry appendix Phlster had a nice minimalist holster. I got it but don't carry appendix...just couldn't get use to it so I am looking for something else now

I tried a few holsters and I finally got one from PJ holsters. IWB at 4 clock position with a 30 degree cant for deep concealment . Very comfortable and I forget I'm even wearing.
Lifetime warranty and the cant can be customized to the degree you want. Best money I spent !

My wife has an IWB holster for her Shield that was made for her by Vigilance Tactical. She loves it:

Re: S&W Shield holster options
Haven't found an OWB holster that I would like.
But for IWB, I have both the Hidden Hybrid Holster and PJ Holster. Love them both. I use HHH when I'm not in hurry. But for quick run to grocery, I use PJ Holster.
Just FYI, PJ Holster has a backlog. When I ordered mine, he said 8-9 weeks. But it took 11-12 weeks.

I carry my shield in one of two holsters.
Mostly in a pocket holster from DeSantis Nemesis. It is really comfortable and a quick draw. You walk around with your hand safely on your gun and no one would know. The trigger is well protected in this pocket holster. It also stays oriented correctly in the pocket. I also use this holster with my S&W 442.
The other holster is OWB but still conceable. It's a Desantis 001 Right Hand Thumb break. I bought it at Cabellas.

Yep. I had to wait 3 months to get mine and I used my Remora holster till the PJ holster was finished. Believe me there's a reason why the is a 3 month backlog ! Most comfortable holster I own and made here in Pennsylvania .

Re: S&W Shield holster options
I carry mine IWB @ 4:00 in a leather holster from ETW. Look them up on ebay. I think I paid $45. It was worth every penny. Quality leather constuction, tuckable, can use left or right handed. It's the thinnest IWB holster I own.

Re: S&W Shield holster options
I have a few holsters made from a company called "Foxx Holsters".. I've bought several holsters from him and they're all great.. My fiancé runs the smaller "Little Foxx" hybrid holster (similar to the Crossbreed) and it works great for her.. I carry appendix so I purchased their all kydex "Trapp" holster for when I carry the Shield and it works fine too.. Best thing about this company, you have your gear at your doorstep within a week, and it has a lifetime guarantee.. You can't beat that with a baseball bat!
