.45 Shield holster suggestions

[TrickyDick]

Ok, so I 'pulled the trigger' and bought a S&W shield in .45acp.

I'm looking for a holster that is IWB, that sits about 4-5 o'clock.
I am currently using a Galco King tuk holster for a Springfield XD9 subcompact.

My only issue with the king tuk holster is the rear clip. It gets caught on things when I sit down, which then stretches the metal band outwards. So now the clip doesn't stay tight to the belt.

I'd like a holster that is similar that either snaps on, or the belt just loops through.

Budget is $75 Max. Preferably in the $50 range.

Any suggestions or experiences?

Alien Gear. They also have leather snap clips available if you don't want their standard clips.

Within your budget a Vedder LightTuck and go for the 1-3/4" clip.

You can get loops for your KingTuk https://www.galcogunleather.com/kingtuk-corvus-v-hawk-holster-tuckable-belt-loops_8_294_1379.html

If you just want a kydex holster with a loop, Aholster http://shop.aholster.com/product.sc...1AA0.p3plqscsfapp004?productId=2&categoryId=1

Custom Carry Concepts UNO 2 (I don't know if the .45 Shield is available) http://www.customcarryconcepts.com/The-Uno-version-2_p_47.html

I use a Galco N3 holster for my 45 shield. It is comfortable for all day carry.

e-Bay is full of Kydex holster makers, I picked mine for $35.00 +

I bought a holster from these folks for my Glock 43. Top notch, very comfortable. This is one example, they have several more.

One more for Alien Gear they work great for my S&W Shield and my G17.

Just get a rear loop for your King tuk.

I don't think you read the OP. I bought a new gun, and I'm looking for a holster for it. An XD9 subcompact holster isn't going to fit an M&P Shield 45.

I ended up buying the Alien gear IWB 3.0 cloak tuk holster, and paying extra for the leather loops. After shipping, still costs less than a Galco out the door from Cabela's.

Thanks to everyone for their input, it was much appreciated.

In that case a Crossbreed and a loop should work.

I received my Alien gear holster today, and already love it.
