Holster for Shield

Cheapshooter said:
I don't worry much about a sweat (producing) shield. Just wear a light cotton "beater" tucked in to keep the gun away from shin, but still let it breathe to help prevent sweat. Even in hot weather with a T-Shirt outer garment it isn't really any hotter.

I live in NC where summer days can routinely be 90F+. I used to wear cotton until I came to my senses and switched to artificial fibers, mostly polyester. It's vastly more comfortable for me. As in, Pee Wee Herman vs. Mike Tyson difference.

I also wear the gun directly against me, no clothes in between. This is not an issue with my N82 Tactical holsters; I was just looking for alternatives.
 
The 2 clip hybrids don't allow for that,

No problem releasing the belt clips one at a time with my Theis IWB Hybrids. Then just lifting holster, and all out of my pants.

I'll have to look if they are marked. Mine are very thin, ribbed kinda like thermal material, but breathe well, and are cool. Might not be cotton after all. I just know they do keep any chafing from the gun or holster from happening. I don't always wear them, or carry IWB. If I am going to be in areas that are inherently much more safe than others I just pocket carry my LCP. Which is always there regardless of what ever else I might carry.

To be fair, I guess I should say they don't allow it as easily. With my Little Foxx or my Priority 1 Kydex, all I have to do is pull out on the clip and lift the holster/gun up. One very simple, natural motion. You can certainly take a 2 clip hybrid off, in my experience it just takes less time and effort and is less likely to draw attention with a single clip kydex or hybrid. I also store my CCW in a small lockbox in my car which would not fit a larger hybrid holster in it, which is probably the biggest hitch moreso than removal. Heck, I actually need to get a slightly larger one at the moment because my Little Foxx is a little too chunky.

I've actually been thinking about getting another Alien Gear, this time for my Shield, just for situations where I know taking it on and off won't be an issue. They are just so darn comfortable.
