Safariland 20179711 Species Iwb Black Multi-Cam Fits S&W Shield Plus
$66.49
The Safariland Species IWB holster for S&W Shield Plus offers serious concealed carry capability without the bulk. If you're running a Shield Plus as your EDC or backup gun, you need an inside-the-waistband holster that stays compact and reliable—and the Species delivers both. Safariland built this with minimalist geometry that sits tight against your body, so you're not printing through your shirt or struggling with a fat, uncomfortable rig all day. The design pulls together enhanced materials and smart engineering in a package that's genuinely smaller than the bloated IWB competition, yet still made from the same quality standards that pro shooters and law enforcement count on.
What sets the Species apart is the adaptability. The tension adjustment device lets you dial in exactly how much resistance you want on the draw—tighter for retention during active movement, smoother for a faster presentation from a standing start. That level of customization means the holster grows with your needs instead of forcing you into one rigid setup. The suede lining protects your Shield Plus finish while the Cordura exterior handles daily wear without fuss, and the multicam finish blends into modern tactical gear or casual outdoor clothing depending on your carry style.
Built for standard 1.5" belts, the Species is at home whether you're training at the range, hunting in the field, or carrying concealed in town. It's the kind of straightforward, capable gear that doesn't ask for attention—it just works.
