Important: All light-bearing Photon Holsters require a firearm with a mounted light. If you do not carry with a light mounted, please ensure you've selected the 'No Light' option.
The Photon Holster for Smith & Wesson delivers an adaptive, everyday carry system with the flexibility to support your lifestyle—whether you're a civilian concealed carrier, law enforcement officer, or military professional. Designed by Alien Gear Holsters, this multi-platform holster fits a variety of Smith & Wesson pistols, including popular models like the M&P Shield 9mm, M&P 2.0 Compact, and M&P Shield EZ.
With a convertible configuration, the Photon can be set up for inside-the-waistband (IWB) or outside-the-waistband (OWB) carry, making it a go-to option for both concealed and open carry. The ambidextrous design allows left- or right-handed users to switch sides with ease, while its slim profile minimizes printing under light clothing.
Made from durable, impact-resistant polymers and equipped with adjustable ride height, cant, and retention, the Photon gives you full control over comfort and draw angle. It also accepts an optional sidecar mag carrier, extending your loadout without adding bulk.
Whether you're carrying a Smith & Wesson M&P Shield Plus or a full-size M&P 9, this holster provides secure retention, modular versatility, and compatibility with modern lights (for light-bearing models).
