mlapaglia Posted June 2, 2012 Report Posted June 2, 2012 For those that have not seen one the new Smith & wesson M&P Shield is a fantastic firearm. I own 9mm version and needed a holster. This is 8-9 Herman Oak back. Oiled leather for color. It sits great and is very comfortable. The best part is I can tuck in my shirt and still wear it inside my pants. This is the prototype So it has a few places that need a little work but on the hole I am happy with it. since it is IWB there is no need to mold it. The waist band on the pants holds the firearm in place. comments. If someone wants the pattern let me know. Michael Quote The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering. Bruce Lee

Members Dallas Cowboy Posted June 4, 2012 Members Report Posted June 4, 2012 Looks great man. Where do you order your belt clips from? I need one for my holster i am making for my LC9 Quote
Members katsass Posted June 4, 2012 Members Report Posted June 4, 2012 FWIW from the grump: I'm not a fan of IWB holsters in general, BUT, in this case I believe that you have put together just about the best contemporary IWB design I've seen in a long damned time. It's simple and not over-engineered. Looks like it should do what a holster is intended to do, without all the excesses of so many of today's designs.

mlapaglia Posted June 4, 2012 Author Report Posted June 4, 2012 Looks great man. Where do you order your belt clips from? I need one for my holster i am making for my LC9 I got mine from Tandy. They have the same ones that most people sell and it was easy to stop buy the store and pick them up. At $3.49 its a great deal since there was no shipping. They have two versions.I used this one for small holsters and the other one for larger holsters.

Ambassador pete Posted June 5, 2012 Ambassador Report Posted June 5, 2012 really neat and simple design. I'm curious why you didn't sew the entire clip to the body. pete Quote
