I agree on many of these points.Since it’s almost an hour in now with no responses I’ll say this; Personally I wouldn’t buy a Blackhawk holster, they’re like one step above Uncle Mikes. So many better choices out there and you should never skinflint on your holsters.
(I’d add the same thing about the Shield but I don’t want to be a negative Nancy on your thread)
I just watched a youtube video of these. They look great.

I had one. I was underwhelmed. Holsters are very personal. What works for you might not work for me.I’ve always been a huge Milt Sparks VM II holster guy. IMO it’s the best IWB leather holster out there.
Keep the 365X active as your EDC (just better all around gun than the Smith) and order a Blackpoint Tactical Mini-Wing with METAL clips.Well my thought was to "safe" the 365X and carry the Shield Plus, that was the reason for the post. But, at the range the Shield was not on par with the 365X, so the holster is on the back burner for now.
