Mission First Tactical HSWSHSAIWBABL IWB/OWB Appendix Holster S&W Shield

The Mission First Tactical HSWSHSAIWBABL Appendix Holster delivers versatile carry options for Smith & Wesson M&P Shield pistols across multiple generations. This ambidextrous design accommodates both inside-the-waistband and outside-the-waistband carry positions, making it adaptable to various concealment needs and carry preferences.

What Makes This Different

Unlike single-position holsters, this design functions effectively in both IWB and OWB configurations without requiring separate purchases. The polymer construction maintains structural integrity while reducing overall weight compared to leather alternatives. The ambidextrous design eliminates the need for separate left and right-hand versions, providing universal compatibility for all users.

Field testing demonstrates reliable retention across temperature ranges from -20°F to 120°F without material degradation.

Law enforcement and civilian users report consistent performance during extended wear periods and dynamic movement scenarios.
