DeSantis lined Thumb Break Scabbard for SHIELDs
Don't know if anybody would be interested, but a fella on eBay that I buy holsters from lists a DeSantis, black, RH, LINED, Thumb Break Scabbard for the SHIELD. He stocked 'em after a request from me (I got one from him).
'Bout all my holsters are lined (good or bad, who knows?), but for some reason the lined DeSantis Thumb Break Scabbard for the SHIELD is not a stock item at DeSantis. You could special order from them for only $16 or so more, but DeSantis sells at MSRP + shipping - the guy I buy from discounts around 25% or so (cheapest prices vary between him and Optics Planet). In e-mail exchanges with him, I believe he said as a dealer (probably something to do with pricing?), he had to order six of 'em, so I don't know how many he has.
Anywho...here's the info ($65.95 delivered):

Don't know why, but most of my lined holsters are the usual suede lining - the
DeSantis Die Hard Ankle Rig for the SHIELD has a soft, smooth, leather lining (not a rough texture like suede), and the lining is tan (on a black holster).
The Die Hard Ankle Rig was my first foray into ankle holsters - so far it seems to carry well, although I have had to alter my truck entrance slightly (Ranger 4x4). Normally, the inside of my left leg would drag the running board when I entered - with the ankle rig, I've had to alter my entrance slightly so the gun doesn't bang the running board every time I enter.
