The Safariland Species IWB Holster for the S&W Shield Plus (brand part no. 20-179-131) is a minimalist appendix-style holster molded from durable SafariLaminate. It’s built smaller than a typical IWB holster without giving up retention, thanks to a passive trigger guard detent and an adaptable tension device that lets you personalize how the S&W Shield Plus feels on the draw. A suede lining protects the gun’s finish, and the whole package is cut for right-hand carry.
