Fits: Smith & Wesson Shield Plus
The Species represents a new generation of concealment holsters from Safariland—a minimalist design engineered to deliver maximum functionality in a compact package. This is a purpose-built holster for the Smith & Wesson Shield Plus, one of today's most popular compact defensive pistols.
Safariland employs their proven SafariLaminate thermal-molded construction, a material selection that balances durability with comfort. The interior is lined with suede, which protects your firearm's finish while ensuring a secure fit. This attention to material quality reflects Safariland's reputation for building holsters that last.
Minimalist Profile — The skeletonized design reduces bulk in critical areas, making this holster ideal for appendix-style inside-the-waistband carry. You get less printing and better concealment without sacrificing accessibility.
Adjustable Retention — Dual-function tension adjustment allows you to personalize how your firearm sits in the holster. This means you control the draw resistance—tighter for active use, lighter for everyday carry.
Flexible Mounting — The belt clip is fully adjustable for both cant (angle) and vertical position. This flexibility ensures the holster works with your body and your preferred carry position, not against it.
Passive Trigger Guard Retention — Integrated retention keeps your firearm secure without requiring active manipulation. The design allows for a personalized draw feel that suits your technique.
Optics Compatible — If your Shield Plus wears a red dot sight, this holster accommodates it without modification.
The Species fits standard 1.5-inch belt widths and is designed specifically for the Shield Plus platform. This firearm-specific engineering ensures an ideal fit—no compromise, no guesswork. Whether you're new to concealed carry or a seasoned shooter, the Species delivers the balance of security, comfort, and concealability that defines a working holster.
