For my 3rd gen S&W used a Crossbreed type homemade. When I got my Shield I used a Remora until my Alien Gear hybrid arrived. Now just use simple kydex IWB from On Your Six Designs.

Still use the Remora around the house from time to time and for keeping the gun on my bedside table at night. Problem I have with it is that the mag release sometimes gets press through normal wearing. I'm carrying on the left side now and figure that is the issue. Probably wouldn't happen on the right side or if I reversed the mag release.

The Alien Gear, which I bought because I would have had to order more leather and kydex and I was too lazy, is very comfortable but the leather closes up so much it is hard to re-holster. Didn't have that issue with my home made. Don't know if it is a design issue since the shell isn't full width or their using cow hide instead of horse hide like I used.

Since On You Six is local and very inexpensive decided to give them a try. Great company to deal with. Retention was too much and I needed a slightly larger belt hook. Both done while I waited with no charge. I had thought the plain kydex would have been uncomfortable but was pleasantly surprised that not to be the case. I find it almost as comfortable as my hybrids. Can wear all day with no issues.
