The Photon Holster for Smith & Wesson offers a next-generation concealed carry solution that adapts to your lifestyle. Unlike traditional holsters, the Photon is a convertible system that can be configured for inside-the-waistband (IWB) or outside-the-waistband (OWB) carry. This dual function makes it ideal for those who want the option of discreet concealment or confident open carry with the same rig.

Crafted from impact-resistant polymer, the Photon is built for strength while maintaining a slim, low-profile design that minimizes printing. Its ambidextrous build allows easy setup for left- or right-handed shooters, and tool-less adjustments give you control over ride height, cant angle, and retention for a personalized draw.

For carriers who run weapon-mounted lights, the Photon is also available in light-bearing configurations. (Important: select the No Light option if you do not carry with a mounted light.) An optional sidecar magazine carrier can be added to expand your setup without adding unnecessary bulk.

This holster is precision-fit for Smith & Wesson M&P Shield pistols, including the M&P Shield Performance Center 3.1" (9mm/.40), Shield Plus, M2.0 models, and standard Shield configurations. By matching the holster shell to each model, the Photon ensures secure firearm retention and smooth, consistent draw performance.

Whether you’re an everyday civilian carrier, a law enforcement professional, or a trained enthusiast, the Smith & Wesson Photon Holster delivers modularity, concealability, and tactical adaptability in a single carry system.

Features

Ambidextrous Design: Suitable for right or left-hand draw.

IWB and OWB Compatibility: Carry inside the waistband (IWB) or outside (OWB) including appendix, strong side or behind the hip, back, MOLLE or drop leg.

Lightweight and Optic-Ready: Compatible with optics that don't extend beyond the optic mount and designed to accommodate the most popular firearm lights.

Height-Sight Compatible: Supports suppressor-height sights.

Adjustable Cant and Ride Height: Tailor your holster’s cant and ride height to achieve the optimal draw angle and comfort.

Optional Sidecar Attachment: Add extra storage for spare ammo with the magazine sidecar attachment.
