I have an Apendix carry holster for my shield 45... Its not the best spot for me to carry, so I guess my 5 o'clock is what Ill go back to (over my back right pocket)

Debating on getting one of aliengears holsters, Had their first gen in the past, new ones look nice.
 
My go to for a shield 9mm is a Galco Belt slide at 4 o'clock. Numbers on the back are J159HO and CM652B. It tucks real close and no chafing from an IWB. If I am going IWB I use either De Santis 028 X7 or a Sticky brand MD-4 for quick trips where I know iI am going to have to take it off like going to school.
 
When I had a Shield 40 I used a Clinger Stingray. Liked it very much. Fat single clip. 15 degree cant. Lower profile kydex. Was easy to remove and put in my center console while going into the Y.
 
+1 for the crossbreed mini tuck.

I have an alienwear and a stealthgear revolution. I keep going back to the crossbreed.
 
I carry my Shield 9 in a Concealmemt Commander IWB holster. I think it is a very close second to my Guardian Concealment holster.

I make mine very similar. Single clip is the way to roll if you have to remove and replace often.

I carry mine in a Guardian Concealment made to fit with the TLR-6. I have a Chief Jason that I used before I put the light on it. Both are very good.

I just make junk for me and the wife, or an occasional gift for someone. I've thought about selling, but I'm lazy + flooded market = rainy day projects only.

If I'm carrying the Shield, I like the Remora IWB/Pocket holster. I usually wear it IWB. But lately, I just grab my Beretta Pico instead and put it in my pocket.
 
I had chiefjason make me an OWB leather holster for the shield. It’s perfect and doesn’t print.

Gunbelt’s holsters are just as good and he’s making one for my H9.
 
Are the 1.0 and 2.0 Shields able to use the same holsters and magazines?
 
I carry my Shield in a Remora holster at 4 o'clock.

I'm not sure on the shield but I have had zero problems with using the older M&P holsters for the new 2.0. One high end holster that a friend gave me was a smidge tight but it broke in quickly

Without looking at the spec sheets for exact dimensions, I recall the 2.0's to be mainly internal changes along with some slightly different serrations on the slide and grip stippling. So in other words: I don't see why a holster made during the 1.0 models won't fit a 2.0 (barring any significant dimensional changes).
 
I carry appendix or 4 o clock IWB with one of my own holsters with a CompTac single clip. IMG_20171021_172917.jpg
 
I tried a single clip holster with my Shield but just didn't like it.
 
I use a ChiefJason owb with my Shield .45 and I love it. Used a comptac iwb before, but not anymore.

I’m a huge fan of Tulster. I own one for every pistol I have. Great quality and they ship very quickly. Now if they would just get on the ball and make one for the 2.0 compact, I’d be set.
 
Chief Jason belt slide. I love it.

Currently using a Crossbreed Mini Tuck on the back right love handle. Love that holster. Been using it for about 3 years now.

x 2. great holster, but you have to oil it underneath the belt clips. When it gets dry it tends to squeak, but it is very flexible (with multiple styles of clips and 3 height/cant adjustments) and very comfortable. Also very similar to the "Chief Jason" that enjoys such great popularity above, but no belt loops.

I use something very similar to this, but mine is a no-name I got off eBay and my wife's is a Blue Alpha gear with adjustable cant, which they no longer make. Both were under $30ea and work incredibly well. I love the simple single clip type holster for this gun. I carry at 5 o'clock, my wife appendix carries.
