DeSantis Thumb Break OWB Holster, Black Leather, for S&W Shield X, Right Hand

This DeSantis Gunhide thumb break holster (DeSantis part no. 001BAA09Z0) is an outside-the-waistband design built in black leather for the S&W Shield X, right-hand carry, fitting the pistol whether or not it is set up with a red dot sight. It rides the pistol high and presents it at an optimum draw angle, with exact molding around the Shield X plus a tension device to keep the fit secure and highly concealable. A thumb break strap adds a positive retention point that releases quickly and naturally as the wearer establishes their grip. Belt slots are 1.75 inches wide, and DeSantis also offers this model in tan leather, with or without a suede lining, and in plain or basketweave finish for buyers who want to match other gear.
