I like the reviews and feedback. This particular holster is for the Shield 9MM. I have a .40 Cal Shield; will this Holster work for a .40?

Sorry I am not sure that it would work but my husband says that your gun is a little smaller so it might work but he isn't sure.

I believe that the dimensions on the S&W site for the 9 mm and the .40 are identical so it should fit. Did you check either web site?

yes, it will work perfectly. The holster is the best thing I've bought for this gun. The only thing is, I wish I would have bought the holster for the extended mag. I will be buying another one so I can carry it with the extended mag. You never know when you may need the 2 extra rounds.

Opinion from a police officer.I completely disagree with the majority of these replies. My main carry was a XD 45 ACP, a significantly larger double stack weapon. I just bought a 9mm Shield. It fits perfectly in my 45 holster, but is a little loose. Just keep in mind, although the Shield is single stack, it can fit just fine in a holster designed for a larger weapon. Just not the other way around. Expect the fit to be slightly loose. As some mentioned, you can increase the tightening screws. I would also consider making your own mods such as soft velcro on the inside to increase tension against the weapon. If you don't run around and hang upside down with your carry, you should be alright. Opinion from a police officer.I completely disagree with the majority of these replies.

The Laser Max CF-Shield I purchased is for a S&W; MP Shield 9mm. To answer you question only partly...it handles on my 9 perfectly. I also can tell you this when it comes to holsters. Take your gun to a gun shop or sporting goods store, empty of course and start trying out holsters that work well with your gun and feel good wearing. Most good sellers will allow you to do so. If they do not, then go some where else. I hope this answers this question for you. Good luck and support the NRA with a donation.

I got size large and it holds my 9mm shield. The holster also takes my hk usp compact 9 and glock 27. I mainly use it for the shield and it holds the piece in place. If you check smith and Wesson, the dimensions of the 9 and 40 are the same. The medium may be the right size, but I can only say that what I got works for me.

This is a great IWB holster for the M&P; compact 9/40 as advertised. I don't own a Shield, but I know the Shield thinner than the M&P; compact, so I don't think this holster would work.

My Shield .40 Cal fits OK. I tightened the adjusting screw and it slides in and has a slight click to hold it in place. I wouldn't think the 9mm would be any different.

I have a holster that was made for the M&P; 9mm Compact. The Shield fits, BUT you have to tighten the screws to maintain retention. I guess it depends on which gun you had the holster made for.

I have a Smith and Wesson M&P 40 and it fitawas great I don't know how different the shield is from the M&P my best solution is is to call Smith and Wesson and ask themlol if it will fit your gun or if the M&P and shield are the same type of design

From what I read and what I physically see the sights will hang over the edge since the regular M&P; 9/9c are wider than the shield. I have seen people do it but you may have issues with it being snagged in clothing or holster.

I use the Laser Max on a 9mm shield. No recoil problem there. Just acquired one in .40 but haven't taken it to the range yet. I like the Galco IWB STO226 for the .40 (no LaserMax) and a Talon IWB holster for the 9 with LaserMax. they are both very comfortable and conceal well.

I've tried it, doesn't work. I haven't found any of this brand that work for the Shield .40.

I use it with my S&W; .40 cal. It's a little snug but it works. It won't come out at all & is very secure.

Sorry I only use it on 9mm. I works fine for that cal. both for my Sig and Glock

It was a drop in for my M&P; L 9mm 5 inch pistol. If the shield has the same mechanism then it would fit. But I think you will use the shield for concealed carry. Trigger is too light for carry but no problem for range use.

I'm not sure if it will work with your gun. But even if it will, don't buy it!!! This is the worst holster I have ever bought. I have several dig handguns and they are all by far the best guns I've ever owned. But this cheap holster is just that, cheap!

I don't think so. I have a regular shield 9mm and it seems like that holster fits pretty tight already. You can make it fit with a knife and needle and thread. You would be better off getting a pocket or shoulder unit. I have both and like them way more.

Good morning G. Harris. I think the Shield may be a bit thin for the size 12 holster that we purchased for our XD Sub-Compacts. The M&P; 9/40 may be just right though.
