The Shield has been America’s bedside-and-belt gun for a decade, and we cut our teeth forming holsters for it. One mold covers the Shield 1.0, 2.0 and Plus; we also stock the Shield X, the 380 EZ (with and without safety), the EZ 9mm, the .45 ACP Shield and the 4″ 2.0 models. Whatever Shield you carry, the shell is formed over that exact gun.
Choose the correct M&P Shield holster
The Shield name now covers several different frames, slide lengths and control layouts. Select the exact model, caliber and accessories when ordering so the Kydex shell is formed for your pistol.
- Shield 1.0, 2.0 and Shield Plus: choose the shared Shield option listed in our model selector.
- Shield X: its 3.6-inch barrel and longer grip require the dedicated Shield X mold.
- Shield EZ: choose the exact 380 or 9mm EZ configuration and specify whether it has a thumb safety.
- .45 ACP, 4-inch and Performance Center models: select the dedicated option rather than assuming a standard Shield fit.
- Optics, lasers and weapon lights: select the exact accessory setup because slide clearance and retention can change.

M&P Shield holster FAQ
Is the Shield Plus the same as the 2.0?
Same envelope — our 1.0/2.0/Plus mold fits all three.
380 EZ with thumb safety?
Pick the “W/ Safety” option — it’s a different mold and we stock both.
