The SHR9 rail adapter is screwed onto the frame of the pistol. I’d like to know if I need to remove the rail adapter from the frame to perform maintenance on a Smith & Wesson Shield Plus.

No, the attachment is simply bolted onto the frame and will not interfere when removing the slide. You should be able to disassemble your firearm as usual without any issues.

Will it work on shield plus in 30 supper carry?

Yes, this will work with Shield Plus.

Will this work with the new M&P shield plus carry comp with the ported barrel and slide?

no no it will not work with the shield plus carry comp big thanks to these guys for wasting my time

MIE holster company informed me that no longer make holster for this when a light is not attached, do you know of another supplier that can?

Do they have website/location...can't seem find cook holsters

Will this fit a Holosun PI.D? Also any holster company recommendations for that set-up?

According to Holosun it is compatible with any "MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny accessory rail". The SHR9 is a MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny accessory rail so it should work. As far as a compatible holster, we recommend MIE Holsters. They make customized holsters for most gun/light combinations. We carry their Javelin holster here which can be bundled with and is compatible with any of the lights we carry.

2/24/24 Greetings; Taken from a review on Amazon concerning a question. “If there are any inexpensive lights that fit the Recover Tactical rail? “Recover Tactical” apparently referred a customer to a link directly to “Ade Advanced Optics PL200 light.” He bought the Recover Tactical rail. Thinking he hit the jackpot for an entry-level light, he also purchased the ADE light. It was very reasonably priced, simple, including a 400-lumen light. Quote; “But it does NOT FIT ON THIS RAIL!!! I thought maybe a design change, but no, the Q&A was from just a month before I ordered both. I considered returning the light, but the cheapest light on the compatible list for this rail is (as of this writing) 2.5 times the price and this one. At least it can be used for other things as well. I was able to get an inexpensive “riser” that allows the light to work.” (He did not list what he found?) After about a half day of searching, I could not find anything except what was written above. I ran across the above reference. All excited, I even had my card in hand. My purchasing question is the same as the listed above, “Is there an inexpensive starter light that fits the Recover Tactical rail for a M&P Shield 9? I'm 82, spent 4 years in the Marine Corps. I simply can not afford an expensive lite for my Shield! The above is listed #4 from the top start of the “Recover Tactical rail reviews containing hundreds of excellent reviews.” (Few Shields. Missed sales?) Thanks, Sincerely, Dale

Hi Dale, I can't comment on what our reseller on Amazon recommended for compatibility. You'd have to ask them directly. However, I can see that the light they recommended is Picatinny rail compatible. All our rails are Picatinny so based on that it should work. I don't know why it didn't work for the person who had an issue. I also don't have any personal familiarity with lights in your budget so I can't make a specific recommendation. In general, our rails will work with 99% of Picatinny rail-mounted lights. There is the occasional exception. The cheapest light we carry is the Olight PL Mini 2 at $89.95.

Will this fit a gx4xl?

It will not work. The fit of the SHR9 rail is precisely molded to the shape of the the S&W Shield

I bought this from a gunshow this weekend and they assured me that it will fit the .45, do you also make a model for .45 since it doesn't appear that this will work?

They made a mistake. Sorry that happened to you. We don't have anything for S&W .45 at this time.

***OFFICIAL REQUEST*** Can we please get one designed for Shield .45 2.0?

Hopefully. But nothing in the works right now.

I believe so. However, I'm not a lawyer and can't provide legal advice. Nevertheless, I can say that in 4 years working here, no one has ever asked me that question about a rail adapter.

What holster will work with this setup? the rail adapter and Streamlight TLR-7A sub Shield Plus

You can get a compatible holster MIE holsters

Does the rail alone interfere with kydex holsters? Say if I wanted to remove the light and keep the rail on would it fit into my holsters I already have?

Really depends on the fit of the holster. The rail is a very snug fit so I wouldn't be surprised if it worked out but I can't say for sure.

Will this work w/ the s&w m&p 380 shield ez with a Sniper 5009R low profile laser mounted on the rail? I’m not sure what other laser setups that you have listed are similar in size & shape as the Sniper. I’m looking to get an OWB paddle holster for my wife’s gun with the Sniper laser.

While SHR9 is not compatible with S&W M&P 380 Shield EZ, you don't need it since S&W M&P 380 Shield EZ has a built-in Picatinny rail so Sniper 5009R should be compatible out of the box. We do have an OWB paddle-style (our G7 holster) holster but I don't think it will be compatible since it only works with full-sized Picatinny rails and the S&W M&P 380 Shield EZ is compact so the rail may not be long enough.

Will this fit the shield plus w/ 4” slide?

Yes, if it is a 9mm or SW40 pistol

will this product fit on a Smith & Wesson model 669

It does not. We make 2 charging handles for S&W. This one which fits on Shield, and this one for M&P.

I have the shield plus 3.1in 9mm. Will your rail fit my gun? Will it accommodate either the streamlight TLR 7A, sub or the TLR 8A? Thanks

Yes, it will fit, and it can accommodate the TLR models you mentioned with the addition of this key.

Will a TLR 7 sub 1913 fit this rail without a key? I saw on previous question you stated that the TLR-7A would need the key but didn’t see anything about the sub. I have a TLR-7 sub sig but it does not work with the rail, even when using the key.

You will need the key found here to make this setup work properly.

Will this rail adapter accommodate a Streamlight TLR-7A for my Shield Plus?

What holster will work with this setup?

I've used your rails for other weapons. I don't use the screws. I just use the clamp on the light to hold the rail adapter on. Is this an option for the Shield.

Can't say. We've never tested it that way.

When will the shield 45 adapter be available?

No plan at the moment. We will send out an email if/when that changes.

I use the attachment to place a light on my nightstand pistol, and when I want to take the pistol with me, I must remove the attachment and light for it to fit in a holster. Are there any holsters made to fit the Recovery SHR9 attachment and a light? If not, is there a better way to quickly remove the attachment screws and be able to quickly put it back on when I return home and want to place the pistol in my nightstand biometric vault?

We recommend and sell this one. If your light is not an option there, check out the "Holsters" tab above on this page for more suppliers who sell compatible holsters. Removal of the rail is simple but there is no faster way than using an allen key and screwing/unscrewing the screw that I'm aware of.
