re: Concealed Carry Recommendation

I have recently done a lot of research while looking for a CC pistol. I initially started at the Ruger LC9s, but it just didn't feel good in the hand. I then looked at M&P Shield and Glock 43. They are very similar guns, but I felt like nothing justified the higher price on the Glock. I also looked at the Sig P938, but was immediately turned off by the hammer. I purchased a Shield yesterday on Gunbroker NIB for $334. Bass Pro has them for $449.

The Shield has a safety, but I like having the choice of not using it if I don't want to. I want to get comfortable carrying the gun and also practicing pulling it, turning off safety, and firing. If I can't get the steps down to be confident in switching the safety off, then I will choose to carry it hot, and take the steps to prevent unnecessary firing.

I really wanted a reason to buy a Sig, but there is no easy way to fire it quickly. You either carry it cocked with safety on, or no safety and have to cock it. I like the idea of carrying with no safety if I so choose, and the P938 doesn't give me that option.

Now I need recs on a IWB holster for the Shield. I have looked at Crossbreed online but that big piece of leather seems rather bulky. The reviews say they are the best though.
