Great to hear! I'm seriously considering that as my CCW purchase. I love the size and how thin it is. I'm a pretty skinny guy so with 30" 30" jeans and a Med shirt I can't hide a lot.

Just curious what IWB holsters does everyone use? Especially from the skinny guys lol

 

I'm a short and relatively skinny individual.  For me, it's more of an issue between using the seven round vs. the eight round magazine with finger rest.  I've been using the concealment express iwb holster with adjustable cant and have no problem concealing even with more "tight" fitting polos and jeans/khakis/pants.  Aside from the obvious printing, most of the time people will mistaken it for something else other than a firearm.  My home town up north is ultra sensitive to any type of carry, and I have never been questioned for carrying in public.

I carried the Shield for three days in Georgia in May. Walking around the AIA convention all day. Sitting in lectures, talking to other attendees, presenters and industry reps. No one ever noticed it was on my waste and I wasn't wearing baggy clothes. Business casual dress, dress shirts, poloes and so on. Using a BladeTech AIWB holster and it seemed to do the job very well. Even driving around Atlanta and going to the airport, no problems.

 

In summer clothes I can't hide my G19, but the Shield, no problem. I'm 5-10 and 145lbs and wear fairly closely tailored clothing, the Shield is the go to pistol when I travel to Free America.

Were your business casual polo shirts tucked into your pants ?

 

Negative sir, not tucked in.  From what  understand the holster would allow for that, but I never tried it. The polo shirts and button down dress shirts I wore were from Express, size small.  So as I said, not big baggy clothing.

I wear mine in a cook aiwb kydex holster. It uses one synthetic loop with a one-way snap. Very easy to put on and take off. One thing I've learned from carrying everywhere and everyday is that the bigger and more difficult the gun and holster is, the greater chance of not carrying.

      The Tax Man Commeth

      By leahcim · Posted

      We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in

      I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html

      The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam

      Softer Holster

      By maintenanceguy · Posted

      I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
