IWB Shield Plus Holster Recommendation

MAG253 · Dec 15, 2021

Im needing some help finding a good IWB holster for my new shield plus. It looks like Tier 1 makes good holsters but unfortunately they don't make one for the shield plus at this time. Crossbreed is another brand I have heard good things about. Thank you in advance for everyone who replies with helpful recommendations.

Vedder holsters makes the LightTuck for the Shield Plus. I have 3 Vedders for various pistols and they are top-notch imo (I have zero affiliation).

If you want a good quality leather holster then look at the Professional model from Bianchi Leather. I own a Bianchi Professional for my Walther PPS and it works well for deep concealment.

That said, my favorite leather IWB is the Don Hume H715-M. I owned several for a variety of Smiths. It can be worn strong side, crossdraw, or behind the hip. Quality construction and the price is right.

I'm not sure what separates the Shield Plus from other Shields as far as holsters go, so I'd go to the Don Hume website and use their "Contact Us" info.

I'd opt for the Don Hume over the Bianchi because the Hume has better retention.

I am a big fan of the Crossbreed Minituck for the Shield. I usually wear it with a loose shirt but the tuck feature works better than you might think. You might grab a spare set of brown clips if you typically wear a brown belt.

The plus has a very slightly different contour to the trigger guard and the mag release is a bit different.

My concealment express kydex fit the original and the plus, the Vedder (which is my favorite kydex) did not.
I would expect any leather holster for the shield would work for the plus.

I have the Alien Gear Cloak Tuck that works great. They are the most inexpensive ones out there and if you change guns, they will swap out the shell for free less shipping.

I only have one IWB holster so far for my Shield Plus, an Amberide kydex holster, which is pretty decent for what it costs (only $19.95). It offers adjustable cant and a retention screw.

However, I do have several IWB holsters for a heavy, fullsize 1911, and my favorite one of those is a TTGunleather “Mike’s Special” with a reinforced mouth. Great retention, easy to draw, superb quality, and very comfortable. Unlike other high end leather holsters of similar quality that can take 6 to 8 months (or longer) to arrive, I got mine in about 5 to 6 weeks after I placed the order last year. Not sure what the lead time is nowadays, though. Anyway, I notice the Shield Plus is one of the many handguns for which he offers holsters. I plan to order one for my Shield Plus.
