I bought the holster in the photos because reviews were generally positive and they had a mold for a M&P Shield with a LG-489G laser. Suffice it to say, I have not found it comfortable. It seems contrary to logic that the wider and thicker you make something, and the more stuff you have to stuff in your pants, the more uncomfortable it will be. The screw posts holding the belt clips as well as the clips always dug into my hip out thigh.
Looking at options, it looks like a lot of holsters attach clips as an afterthought to their “design”. For example, doesn’t putting clips on the center of the holster (very common) just add unnecessary bulk to the holster thickness?
Designs like the Safariland Incog and StealthGear Ventcore seem to minimize the width and thickness of the holster with thoughtful design placement.
I need to get a new holster, so I’m looking for suggestions, but figured I’d offer an opinion.
In the meantime, I took a scissors to my holster and did a little bit of drilling.
