Kydex OWB for M&P Shield suggestions needed

[MountainPacker]

My brother recently got a Shield and is interested in a Kydex OWB holster. I've always leaned towards leather for that myself. After a few searches, I thought I'd throw it out here for discussion. The usual cast of characters Blackhawk Serpa, Comp-Tac Belt Holster aren't available.

I did find this one: Eclipse Holster :: OWB Belt Holsters :: Blade-Tech Industries that is available for the Shield.

Thanks!

Garrett Industries Silent Thunder STX.
Most Concealable OWB Holster | Silent Thunder STX Kydex and Leather | Garrett Holsters

Best of both worlds, toughness and rigidity of kydex on the outside with the silent comfort of leather on the inside.

The Garrett holsters are super nice. If you are looking for something a little less expensive I can make you one.

I ordered the Blade-Tech based on reviews. Haven't received it yet. One factor. They have an expedited shipping program that covers the Eclipse for the Shield.

Might suggest an old faithful holster. Use one with my full size .45 sig p250 and love it

I have recently gotten an old faithful holster for my shield and I love it just like the rest of their products

If you would be willing to try a hybrid IWB, give SHTF Gear LLC a shot.

That being said, if you absolutely must have kydex OWB give Mid-World gun leather a shot

You could always try a Raven Phantom holster. You can get it molded to be compatible with a light. I love mine!!!

You could also look at:

Dale Fricke - he makes an OWB for the Shield

Custom Carry Concepts - makes an OWB slide for the Shield

Good luck,

Raven I believe has a "quick ship" option for the Shield, and their stuff is in pretty high demand. Good gear, too.
