I have been carrying a M&P shield 9mm in a Galco Stow n Go for 2 years now. Everyday all day. Love it! Probably the best IWB single clip holster I've ever tried. I recently purchased a S&W 360 and needed a good IWB for it as well. I decided to try the Desantis Summer Heat.
Overall quality is great. Leather looks awesome, fits the revolver perfectly and has good retention. Decently priced at $40 as well. The only thing that sucks about it is the clip. It's almost too strong and it has this retention hook on it to keep it from coming out of the holster and it always catches your pants or belt. I was literally sweating the first first times I tried to put it in my pants.
They really need to take a lesson from Galco and use a clip like theirs. I will have to do some modifying to get the clip to my likings.
I'll include some pics of my Galco as well.

Feel your pain on the Desantis clip, I have one. You'll find its difficult to modify as it is hardened spring steel. Also, if you have leather seats in a vehicle, always be aware of the clip being covered because that edge that sticks out can cut a seat...my wife loved that happening in her car. Besides that, I've found mine to be quite comfortable.
