Looking for a nice, comfy, concealable OWB for the Shield

Now that I'm getting a new Shield Plus tomorrow, I'm going to need a new holster!

Funny story, I actually ordered this holster from Crossbreed for my Bodyguard 2.0:

It's called the "Outrider", btw

It's a VERY nice holster, but I found that it fit my Shield perfectly. Much better than the Bodyguard 2.0, which kinda swam in it. Oh well, either way it turned out nice. I got an AHolster for the BG2, and I'm happier with that, so I have no problem using this for my new Shield Plus. It's probably the most comfortable (and concealable) OWB holster I've ever seen or used.

As a rule, I always have at least 2 holsters for any one CCW gun, in case something happens I'm not left without a holster. I really like Crossbreed. This recent purchase has proven to me that their craftsmanship is top notch. But their OWB and IWB choices are almost overwhelming.

Can anyone recommend a good, comfortable, concealable OWB for the Shield? Or do I simply have to re-order this one? 😅
 
i can't get comfortable with any type of holster other than a thigh/lowered belt or drop leg. i may have to go shouldered or chest, but for an iwb or owb i don't like sitting with them and don't want to remove them just for sitting. maybe a race holster will be the answer?

A Quality leather owv holster “Should” be quite comfortable whatever you’re doing. It needs to tote the pistol so you’re not getting “poked” standing, walking or sitting.. you must however be using a very good gun belt designed for that purpose though, otherwise the belt will tend to roll and dig in. I’ve had good luck the a pancake type holster (Don Hume makes a good one) and a steel core two layer gun belt. The only iwb that has ever been comfy for my has been an Alien gear cloak at 4 o’clock. All the others bother me. Can’t stand airbags, to me the absolute least comfy when sitting ( though they do conceal well.). The Don Hume and an EMP are on me now as I sit and write this. I’ve also got one from another maker that lets me carry my 69 Smith 4.25 comfy all day. I presume you’re talking CC holsters. For open carry the regular service types used by LEO work pretty well. Those folks spend their days crawling in and out of cars and their holsters have to work in all postures, Chest or shoulder are ok for hunting, hiking

Nothing wrong with a good shoulder rig. Have a number of them and use them often.

You might check out Desantis Holsters.

After a week of grueling research... and buying a hold-me-over holster from Amazon, my mind kept coming back to this. I just placed my order! Thanks for referring them. I also ordered the dressing service as well since I hate doing that. I never get it right. Best left to the pros! Thanks again, you steered me right. 🙏

They are good people to work with.
 
Holy COW my Stoner Holster is out for delivery! Either this is an error, or (the only other thing in the world I can think of) this model firearm is so popular the guy probably keeps a few ready to ship (or it's a return). Either way, what great news! I thought I'd be waiting until at least mid-August for this holster. Very excited!!
