M&P Shield -- Holster Options?

[Cole]

This weekend I bought an M&P Shield as a summer/super-convenient concealed carry gun. I'm debating pocket carry options vs. IWB, and invite the wisdom of the board to guide me in my decision. Thanks in advance, to those providing their advice.

Foxx horsehide hybrid iwb holster is the way to go. It's VERY comfortable and the horsehide does a great job keeping sweat off of your pistol.

I'm not a fan of pocket carry because I have too much crap in my pockets.... Front pocket wallet, money clip with cash, chapstick, pocket knife, smart phone.

The shield seems a bit large for pocket carry for me. If you want to give it a shot, I've been happy with the Desantis "nemesis" line of pocket holsters. They should have one that works and they're cheap enough that if you find the shield doesn't work in a pocket, you're not out a ton of $$$$.

Check out COMPTAC and Hidden Hybrid Holsters. Both great quality IWB options.

I second Foxx holsters. Wife has a "Little Foxx" IWB that I wear sometimes (hey, have to break it in for her ) and it's very comfortable with great retention.

Price and service cannot be beat. Great quality too.

All good advice. I picked up the Nemesis which works great, and I've been pocket carrying it fine. I am going to pick up a Kramer IWB, too at some point.

Glad it worked for ya. I use them for a LCP and an LCR for pocket carry. They always worked out well for me.

I had a Foxx for mine and liked it. I now have an Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 3.0 and love it.

Black Arch Holsters = Protos
I just picked up a couple of these for my new EDC Walther PPS M2. I have been using one daily for the past month, great holster.

I pocket carry a Glock 26 everyday with one of these.
