Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Shield Plus holster different from the Shield?
Yes — the Shield Plus has a longer slide and a different grip profile. We mold specifically for each. The Shield holster will not lock up a Shield Plus.
Will the Shield holster fit a Shield 2.0?
Yes — the Shield 2.0 is dimensionally identical to the original Shield in 9mm. Same holster mold works.
Do you support the Shield Plus with a Holosun 507K?
Yes. Select the optic-cut option at checkout. The holster will be molded around the optic so retention comes from the slide, not the optic body.
What’s the difference between the IWB Classic and Max Concealment for the Shield?
The IWB Classic carries the slide about 1/2″ above the holster for easier grip acquisition. The Max Concealment sits the slide deeper — better for appendix carry and tighter cover garments, slightly slower draw.
Is the holster compatible with the Shield Plus thumb safety?
Yes. We mold around the safety so it clears the holster body. Select the safety variant at checkout.
