Default Holster for Shield EZ 9mm

My daughter just bought this gun and is looking for a Safariland 7378 ALS holster for it. The Safariland site shows no holsters for this gun, only the 380 version. Can anyone tell me if the regular 9mm Shield and the 9mm Shield EZ take the same holster??

Per S&W websight, 9mm is 6.8" long vs 6.7 for the .380
Height is 5.05 vs 5.0
Edit to add the barrel length is the same for both guns.

There may be a difference in frame and slide width too.

most holster sites I have looked at there is a difference, I guess I would ask and then make sure you can return with a full refund if it doesn't fit

I just got a DeSantis Thumb Break Mini Slide Holster yesterday. I had ordered Thursday or Friday. It cost about $60.00. I am pleased with the way it looks. I have not tried it on my belt yet. That will come in a few days. If The Holster works I Will order another for my S&W 9mm EZ.

No; the Shield and EZ models use different holsters.

The .380 and 9mm versions of the EZ also take different holsters if they are closely-fitted kydex or polymer. Leather holsters tend to stretch enough to accommodate both EZ calibers.

My favorite EZ holster, which fits both calibers, is an Askins Avenger-style holster by Blackhawk. And, yes, it is one of my infamously cheap holsters that I found on sale for $10 on Amazon.

The two Holsters we have for the 380EZ are an Amberide LH IWB made exactly for a 380EZ
The other is a RH Fobus Paddle holster marked SWEZ9
Thier website shows that both the 380 & 9mm EZs fits it.

I forgot to mention that this Fobus can also be an IWB by adding the supplied clip with two screws & hardware & removing the paddle & it's two screws
We didn't get the clip & hardware & Fobus sent it to me FREE & Just got it Wednesday 11/25/21 Day Before Thanksgiving
My Son wanted the SWEZ9LH but we got the RH
Going to call them Monday & see if we can arrange a swap
I didn't buy the holster from Fobus but a Gun Store that won't allow returns & no one has this holster Left Handed except Fobus USA
