I picked up a S&W Shield recently and would like to get an IWB holster. Do any of you have one you like to use?

Custom horse hide is the only way to go for an IWB.
ALPHA -X HOLSTER are well worth looking at still like leather but these are really nice
The only Alpha-x holster I could find is a high speed competition gizmo from Double Alpha Academy

Been carrying the Shield 40 as an off duty long as they have been out...in a DeSantis Cozy Partner. Hides the pistol quite well and is comfortable.
Another vote for alien gear.
Here is my S&W Shield Hybrid. Its a Veridian Reactor shell on an AlienGear Cloak Tuck 3 Backer. The Veridian leather backer sux. It loosens up after a month or two. However, by drilling one hole to make the screws align I now have a truly working veridian green lazer holster. This is my summer EDC. This thing works flawlessly. Tight enough that if I take a good tumble the pistol wont fly out.
Hybrid type holsters might be comfortable, but the retention sucks. Up to you to decide, but I've taken a spill before and had my gun bounce out on the parking lot. Never again.
Look no further than JM Custom Kydex. He does not have bargain basement pricing, so if you're looking to take shortcuts he's not your guy. If you want the best designs and quality up front, he's your guy.

The Incog by G-Code is perfect for the Shield. It was designed in conjunction with Travis Haley of Haley Strategic. Several good YouTube videos walking you all through it.
Talon holsters of Midway, FL are great for IWB M&P shields, Sig P-365, S&W j frame revolvers, and all Rugers.
Thanks for all the suggestions! I ended up buying a IWB model from Comcealment Express. I really like it.
Galco leather IWB rig. comfortable and wears well. Mac
