Rapid Release Trigger-Guard Lock – Active Retention with Fast Access
The standout feature of this Bulldog holster is its Rapid Release retention system:
As you holster your S&W M&P Shield, the mechanism securely locks onto the trigger guard, holding the pistol firmly in place.
To draw, you press the release button as you establish your firing grip, then pull upward in one smooth motion.
This provides an extra layer of security compared to simple friction or open-top holsters, helping prevent:
With proper training and repetition, the release becomes instinctive, allowing you to maintain safe trigger discipline and a fast, consistent draw.
Duty-Style OWB Carry – Secure and Stable
The RR-SWMPS is built as an OWB (Outside-the-Waistband) holster, making it ideal for:
Concealed carry under a cover garment (untucked shirt, hoodie, light jacket)
Range training and defensive drills
Home-defense belt setups
Off-duty or plainclothes carry
The rigid polymer body hugs the Shield’s slide and frame, keeping the pistol close to the body and reducing printing under everyday clothing, while still offering excellent access when it’s time to draw.
Tough Polymer Construction – Lightweight & Durable
This Bulldog Rapid Release holster is constructed from impact-resistant molded polymer, offering:
Light weight – easy to wear all day without dragging your belt down
Durability – resists dings, scratches, and impacts from daily carry, training, and range use
A rigid structure that maintains its shape for:
If you want a holster that can keep up with daily carry and frequent practice, the RR-SWMPS is built to handle it.
Perfect Companion for Your S&W M&P Shield
The S&W M&P Shield is one of the most popular concealed carry pistols on the market – slim, reliable, and easy to shoot. The RR-SWMPS is designed around that same mission:
Model-specific molding gives a snug, stable fit for the Shield-style profile
The holster’s compact footprint complements the slim, single-stack design of the pistol
Ideal for carriers who want an OWB rig that still conceals well with reasonable cover garments
Together, your Shield and the Bulldog Rapid Release holster make a capable, ready-to-go EDC combo.
Ideal Uses – Who Is the RR-SWMPS For?

Carry an S&W M&P Shield as your everyday concealed carry pistol
Want a secure retention system that locks onto the trigger guard
Prefer OWB carry for comfort, speed, and a clean draw stroke
Spend time in defensive pistol classes, drills, or range training and want a holster that can keep up
Need a dedicated home-defense or “grab-and-go” belt rig with your Shield holstered and ready
If you trust your Shield to protect you, it deserves a holster that’s just as serious.
Safety & Training Considerations
Because the RR-SWMPS uses a trigger-guard-based locking system, it’s essential to:
Practice your draw slowly at first, ensuring your finger stays off the trigger until the pistol is fully clear and pointed at the target.
Incorporate the release button press into your natural grip, so it becomes part of a single, fluid motion, not a separate step.
Regularly inspect the holster for:
Used correctly, the Rapid Release system offers a strong mix of security and speed, but like any retention holster, it requires good technique and repetition.
Care & Maintenance
To keep your Bulldog RR-SWMPS holster in top condition:
Wipe down with a soft cloth to remove dust, sweat, and debris.
Avoid strong chemical solvents that could degrade the polymer.
Check any screws or attachment points occasionally to ensure they remain tight and secure.
Basic maintenance helps ensure smooth operation, consistent retention, and long service life.
