Holster for Shield Plus 4" barrel?

Bianchi’s model 57 holster for the M&P 4” fits the 4” Shield Plus like a glove. You might expect it to be loose but it isn’t. The full size M&P is rather tight so the Plus is retained reasonably well.

I then reached out to Tier1 to see if they have and Agis Elite or Axis Elite and was told they do not and don’t have any plans to make one in the future,

I just spoke with Tier 1 last week and they indicated that they are working on an Axis Elite AIWB holster for the Shield Plus line. FYI
 
I'm running an Urban carry lock leather OWB holster for Shield 4" I like it alot the leather keeps it in tight. has some retention as well. Not an IWB, but It works for me.
 
My Tier 1 holster that I got for my Shield 1.0 3.1" (with TLR6) fits my Shield plus 4" with red dot (and TLR6) just fine.

The side car is a little snug for the mag even in the widest I can make it.

Currently looking for other holsters too.
Justholsterit.com
Seems to make custom set ups with Kydex.

Got 3 Holsters from Justholsterit
Not happy with any of them for me.
The rmr cuts don't like up either.
If your running no lights/laser or red dot they might be fine.
Getting a non TLR6 T-one holster.

I also have had good luck with concealment express, .
T-1 is expensive ($160+), but for me worth it.

My Hidden Hybrid IWB holster for a Shield 9 is my favorite, very comfortable (all day) & concealable, has 2 adjustment screws for tension, similar to Crossbreed and Galco Kingtuk holsters. They have other holsters too.

Forgot to note, live in the College Station, TX area...

They make a IWB holster for the 4" model called the Sidecar holster.
 
I have one. Not ported no safety bought it locally paid about $565 before taxes.
 
If there is any Shield Plus with a 4" barrel offered anywhere could someone post a link, as I've never seen or heard of one. No such thing is listed on the Smith & Wesson official website.

I see those holster manufacturers talking like there is such a thing but I don't see that gun anywhere. Unless they have inside information about a future release?
I got mine at Bass Pro
 
Ebay Vendor

“techlocook” has made 2 holsters for me, leather. They are Fantastic! $54 shipping included.
 
Crossbreed Holsters

Howdy,

I just ordered a few Plus holsters from Crossbreed. Their AIWB is called Reckoning System, with a spare mag holder attached. They're nice folks to deal with and the wait to receive them is only 2 weeks. I'd rather run Tier1 Access Elite AIWB but they still have none for the Plus, and their wait time is 2 months anyway.

I'll keep y'all posted. We handle wedding and church security. We're retiring all our Shields to the spare gun safe, and carrying the Plus now. Trigger feel and reset are both improved imho.

FYI
 
My Versa Carry Protector S1 and Rapid Slide S1 holsters work for both my 4" Shield 2.0 9mm and Shield Plus 4". It also fits my Glock 19.

I like these holsters - very versatile!
 
Any recommendations for a shoulder holster for the OPs Shield??
