I'm having trouble finding a decent selection of holsters for the slightly longer and thicker slide of the .45 shield. What's out there that will fit it? Looking for both IWB and/or OWB holsters.

I've had a Stealth Gear Onyx for the last year and a half. I'm very pleased with it.

Ozark Holster Company. Great custom fitted holsters, and good prices...


Welcome to my home, that door you just kicked in, was locked for your protection, not mine.

I was lucky enough to score a knife and kydex sheath made by Dosborn. Top quality work. You will not be disappointed. Actually relieved to see he's still around!

If you're into minimalist holsters, Remora makes a micro clip that works.
I've had it a while for the 9mm Shield I had and the 45 version slips right in.
Clip on it holds very nicely and it's comfortable. I use it for short jaunts around town and not all day carry.


I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not.

I am looking for the same, and in addition to looking at some of the options already mentioned, I am considering CYA Supply (Veteran Owned) and Concealment Express.

The CYA is appealing in that the holster covers the mag release button, and as a lefty I value that in my selection weighting.

Please let us know what you decide.

I have a CYA for my XDS and also a Raw Dog Tactical IWB. Both have a 45 Shield version available..

The CYA being a taco style has a smaller footprint and even though you have the kydex against your body it's fairly comfy. The Raw Dog is more comfy and when standing I don't even notice it's there. (Carry at 3:30). With the smaller overall footprint I end up carrying in the CYA most of the time, even when I could easily throw on an OWB holster.

The Little Foxx is a good choice. The leather backing is very soft.

First you need a Hogue HandAll or Talon grip.
The stippling on the Shield 45 will be very uncomfortable, without something between the factory grip and your skin.

For a holster I highly recommend a small footprint, the Shield 45 is large enough on its own to conceal without adding bulk and extra material of a holster. For me leather sweat shields tend to get too hot against the skin.
Remora holsters for the Shield 45 are large and hot.

I like the Tulster Profile holster, their carbon fiber design is made from Boltaron which I prefer over Kydex.
20% off until July 12th with coupon code America.

I will probably be adding two more holsters to the stable for the 45 Shield.

I like the idea of a bit more cant, maybe an Ozarks Holster set to a 20 or 25 degree cant.

Also been thinking a PJ Holster set for a 30 degree cant would be nice.

For leather I have a Highnoon Bare Asset which I like as well.

I have two Cross Breeds with sweat shields that might be OK if I trim the leather down. One of my Cross Breeds has a single clip aft of the kydex. The 45 Shield is too heavy for that design, which worked fine with a P938.
