    IWB holster for CA model M&P Shield

    Basically looking for an IWB holster for my m&p shield with a loaded chamber indicator. My concern is that the flag from the LCI will make some holsters not usable. I'm mainly looking for a crossbreed kydex holster. Thanks in advance!

    The LCI is lower than the sights so unless you buy a really weird holster there shouldn't be any problem.

      Alien Gear. No hands on experience yet, but I have a lot of friends who have had the 1.0 and some with the 2.0 for some time and they still have only good to say about it. They actually highly recommended me to pick one up for my shield as well. So I did.

      Alien gear are very popular at the moment and a lot of people like them especially at their price point, many like them good reason.

      So my vote is alien gear cloak tuck. 1 or 2.0.

      As for the flag issue, I thought about that as well when buying mine, but the flag doesn't protrude higher than the sights, so the LCI shouldn't snag on any IWB shield holsters with a proper sight slot cut.

        I purchased a Alien Gear IWB after using the search function on this forum. A lot of users recommended them and for under $50 shipped, figured it was worth a try. Should be delivered this week.

          I've had good luck with White Hat Holsters IWB for the Shield.

            Consider that the front sight post is higher than the LCI.

            A crossbreed should be fine.

              Thanks for all the responses found and alien gear for a good price think I'm gonna go that direction. I guess I never really looked that close but it is aligned with the front sight. I'm used to having it on my sigs where it's to the left of the sight and makes holsters difficult.

                I don't have a shield but I have a kahr CM9. For holsters I have an alien IWB holster and I have a Desantis soft tuck. I actually like the Desantis better. It has just one clip but it is more comfortable to wear for me. Here's the Desantis.

                    Been using my Hodges Custom Kydex holster and it's holding up good, but I have a non-CA Shield

                          Aliengear 2.0 works just fine for my 40 Shield. It doesn't stick up that much. I also use a Softuck with no problems. Have fun.

                            Check out @guncraft on instagram. Friend of mine making custom made to order holsters. He's doing some really nice quality work. Good prices too, since it's a small single person shop.
                            Check him out, tell him Anthony sent you.
