The Blackhawk Stache IWB holster delivers reliable concealed carry performance for Smith & Wesson Shield pistols in 9mm and .40 caliber. This inside-the-waistband holster combines low-profile design with secure retention, making it an ideal choice for everyday carry applications.
What Makes This Different
The Stache holster features a minimalist polymer construction that reduces bulk while maintaining structural integrity. Unlike traditional leather holsters that can collapse when the firearm is drawn, this rigid polymer design maintains its shape for consistent reholstering. The ambidextrous configuration accommodates both right and left-handed shooters without requiring separate models.
Key Features

The holster's polymer material maintains consistent retention characteristics across temperature variations, from summer heat to winter cold. The belt clip design distributes weight evenly along the belt line, reducing printing and improving comfort during extended carry periods. The trigger guard coverage meets safety standards while allowing for a clean draw stroke.
