Size difference between S&W Shield in 9mm v. 45 ACP?

[Balrog]

It looks like from the website there is about 2 oz different in the weights of these two, but what about the thickness? I can't find the thickness of either. Anyone know?

Will a belt holster designed for a 9mm also work with a 45?

I don't know, but I suspect not. For example the holster makers produce one holster for the .45 ACP version and a different holster for the 9/40 versions.

From here: http://www.range365.com/mp45-shield-gun-review#page-3
"My .40 S&W Shield’s slide measures .902 at the widest point, while the slide on the M&P45 Shield is .953 inches."

I can't find my accurate caliper at the moment. Using the one I did find, I'm confident at .90" for my 9mm Shield's slide thickness and .95" for my 45 Shield.
The 45 does not fit into a form fitted leather holster I have for my 9mm:
