M&P Shield CA Model Holster Question

[fredberry]

I will be picking up two M&P Shields in 9mm later this month and am concerned about holsters that will fit the CA model w/shark fin (loaded chamber indicator). Does anyone know if this is an issue or not? And, if so, what suppliers have stated that their holsters will work.

Thanks.

Should be no issue. The "fin" is in line with the sights so they will have clearance already.

[fredberry]

Of course! I just wasn't thinking it through!! Thanks.

I can't see the LCI, can you blow up the pic

Jk.

Wondering how you're picking up two shields at once? PPT?

Like somebody else pointed out, the LCI sticking up shouldn't be as tall as your front sight, which it'll be lined up with. If a LCI sticks up higher than your front sight, then that's one messed up LCI on the gun (figuratively and literally).


For the pic below, how do you know if you have one in the chamber?

Does it really have that stupid arrow and loaded when up?!

Yes.

Kinda reminds me of "Remove Before Flight" flags for some reason. lol.

might as well put front towards enemy on there too.

I sure am glad that I didn't wait and got an Non-CA version instead. It really looks a lot nicer without that monstrosity on top.

Is that pic from an actual Shield?? I thought the CA Shields had a "rooster" red LCI? The text writing was on the rooster only as well like this link:

The pic above looks like it might be from a Sig? Please confirm any new Shield owners...

That's not a photo of the CA Shield, guys. I believe that's a Sig P229. The Shield LCI is (mercifully) much more subtle, if you can believe it.

There's no arrow or writing on top of the shield.

Lol I can't believe you guys actually buy those with that garbage on it. That is hideous

That doesn't look like a Shield at all. Here's the pic from S&Ws site:

Looks like a Sig slide to me not a shield! shield does bot have the arrow. i just dros'ed one today and no arrow or writing on the slide. just some writing on the LCI itself and my Sig P220 combat looks just like the first picture except no ugly LCI with arrows and huge writing!
