Smith & Wesson M&P Shield X & TLR-8 Sub OWB Holster

Model Fit & Light Compatibility

This Outside Waistband (OWB) holster is precision-molded for the Smith & Wesson Shield X with the Streamlight TLR-8 Sub (1913 version) mounted. It is engineered around the #3 Key and also functions with the TLR-8 X Sub, TLR-8 HL-X Sub, and TLR-8 X G Sub / HL-X G Sub variants.

Important: Retention is indexed on the weapon light, not the pistol. The holster will not function without the light mounted.

Manual Safety: Compatible with applicable Shield X / Shield Plus variants that include a manual safety.

Adjustable Retention

Set your preferred draw tension in seconds. The retention system adjusts easily for a secure lockup on the light body and a smooth, consistent draw.
