Lean, rigid, and purpose-built for speed. The C&G Holsters Covert OWB is a black Kydex® outside-the-waistband holster precisely molded for the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 9mm/ .40 S&W (3.1" barrel). With robust belt loops for rock-solid anchoring, a slim, dehorned profile, and tuned retention, this Covert OWB delivers fast, repeatable draws, excellent concealment under a light cover garment, and day-long comfort on the range or for EDC.

Why Choose the Covert OWB for the M&P Shield 9/40 (3.1")

• Model-specific lockup: CAD-modeled, thermoformed Kydex shell for the M&P Shield 9/40 3.1" offers full trigger-guard coverage and a crisp, audible “click” on reholster.

• True OWB stability: Dual belt loops (optimized for 1.5" EDC belts) hold the holster tight to your hip for consistent draw angles and reduced shifting during movement.

• Concealment-minded design: Low-profile geometry, neutral-to-forward cant, and a sleek muzzle contour help minimize printing under T-shirts, flannels, or light jackets.

• All-day comfort: Dehorned edges and a smooth body-side finish mitigate hot spots when sitting, bending, or driving.

• Duty-tough materials: Kydex resists sweat, humidity, and temperature swings, keeping its shape for reliable reholstering over years of carry.

• Training ready: A rigid mouth and defined sight channel enable snag-free presentations and efficient reps during dry fire or live fire.
