I use a variety of leather for my PM9 depending on the situation and what I am wearing. What holsters do you guys use?

I use Del Fatti ISP-SS (IWB) holsters, and have them for the K9/K40 and P45. Here is my K9/K40 one with my K9 Elite 2003 inside:

The holster I carry depends on where I'm going and what I'm wearing.
Bianchi Shadow II, Mini-slide from the NRA store, DeSantis pocket holster.

What do you all think of a service type holster with thumb-break made of Kydex similar to what Glock makes for it's G-17, G-19, etc.? Don't think there would be a patent infringment, but a very good holster that would sell well !

I've been using the Don Hume IWB, but I really dislike the belt clip location. I found a very nice IWB from AKJ Concealco (http://www.concealco.com/miva/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=ACL&Product_Code=SG-IWBS&Category_Code=051IWB) for my G19. Rides well and is verrry comfy. I ordered one for the PM40 last week.
Here's an opdate with the PM40

I use a highnoon split decision for my PM9 and a public secret for my P9. Highnoon holsters are the best, IMO.

I used a Galco like the stow and go but it was difficult to get on and off and hard to re-holster. I made my own Kydex one and am very happy with it. More comfortable than I expected. I highly recommend trying your hand at it. :D

Hawkstp,
It is very nice, but so is the ST. I ordered mine
with the combat cut. Better grip on the gun. Only wish
they made it with metal clip. I ordered the metal clips
for my ST for my MP 45c. Good luck

My favorite holster for my PM45 is my version of the Summer Special IWB. The first photo is my personal carry Kahr PM45 and IWB holster. The other 2 photos are customer holsters I've made for their PM45's.

Dietrich ... I've bene looking for a minimalist tuckable for my cheapo Bersa 380cc, short listed to Wild BIll and Sideguard. Then I Google WildBill there have a been few complaints on their LOOOONNNNNGGGG leadtime and some quality. How's their quality? Should I better off go with Sideguard?
Just curious.. today WildBill e-mail me that they have one is stock for my Bersa.. I am tempted to ask them to send me pix with date stamp ;)... if it is indeed in stock I don't mind to give me a try....

I have been using the IWB FIST. Delivered in only 3 weeks and very high quality.
I'm using a High Noon Holsters Mister Softy IWB for my PM9. Great package! Cheap, in-stock, and very minimal foot print. Literally disappears in the waist band! I'd say it would be pretty hard to beat for the money! It is forming to the gun nicely after just a couple weeks wearing it around the house.

I currently use a Desantis thumb break scabbard for OWB a Bianchi 6D for IWB (I actually got it for my wife to use in her purse, it is to floppy for one handed reholstering, I use it as a pocket holster, sometimes clipped inside the pocket) and a Passport sholder rig.

I have a leather Desantis belt slide holster (the same one sold in the Kahr Shop) which fits all my Kahrs. I only use it for my T40, though, while I'm in the process of seeking out a good IWB holster for that particular gun.
For my K40, I use an AKJ Concealco Select Grade IWB. It's a fantastic holster, that uses extremely thin leather, but still allows one handed reholstering. I own three others of the same type for different non-Kahr guns, and my only complaint is that it's not offered for the T40.
I carry my PM40 in a Desantis Nemesis nylon pocket holster. It's a temporary solution, as I have a Pocket Concealment Systems' Blackbird and a K&D Holsters' Maverick Defender on order for it. The PM40 is my "Always Gun"/BUG, and when I get the Maverick Defender I intend primarily to carry it crossdraw between the belt and the pants, reverting to pocket carry only for times when I can't wear a belt mounted holster.

Just got the holster in the mail. Really nice fit right out of the box, never had that before. It's a Don Hume model H721ot( open top). Purchased it from Gunners Alley. Good bunch of people there. I ordered 2 different holsters for different pistols and Don Hume was out of stock on both. Gunners Alley called me, let me know this, and asked if I would take either in a different color. They were able to get this one in a brown, ok with me, so they split my order and sent this one to me with the other to follow as soon as DH gets it in. All this at no extra shipping cost to me. They actually called me 3 or 4 times setting all this up. Kudos to Gunners Alley for excellant customer service.

I've had the PM9, my first Kahr for about three weeks now and have been accumulating various holsters I'll use for different situations.
First up is the Comp-Tac Infidel. I've been using a varaition of the Infidel, known as the Undercover Pro, for many years. The Infidel is a design improvement over the Undercover Pro in that the belt attachment clip is not integral to the holster and can be replaced if necessary. I carry this holster at 4 o'clock and it's very comfortable.

Next up is the El Paso Saddlery Pocket Holster. I got this holster as a birthday gift and it works surprisingly well. I inserted the holster and gun into the front pocket of some cargo pants and did my draw. Did it over and over and the gun came out everytime, leaving the holster behind. Very nice.

The holster below is Dale Fricke's Archangel. This holster is intended to be worn AIWB If one were to order a Fricke holster from One Stop Tactical they wound learn these holsters are sized to fit the longest pistol in the series. I guess that would be the T series for the Kahr. Then, one carrying the PM9 would have excess holster hanging down their belly. Turns out this is an advantage because the extra length provides additional stability for the gun and the unit does not try to flip out of your pants, (Hate it when that happens, don't you?) Well, to my chagrin, I had Dale make an Archangel sized to fit my PM9, without the extra length. Well, again, I am not as smart as I thought I was and I do feel the holster and gun wanting to elude my pants. I can wear it but it's not as it was intended. Anyway, Dale Fricke did a beautiful job in making the holster. It is super fast and holds the gun as securely as you like. Here are the pic. Note, it attaches to the belt using rubber straps.

http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g21/WhiteWillie/PM9AA3.jpg
Next and last for now is Dale Fricke's Ehud. The Ehud differs from the Archangel only in the way it attaches to the belt and the fact it is tuckable. The Ehud uses J hooks to connect to the belt. The first thing I learned about the Ehud is that the J hooks are not quite wide enough to hook my Tucker Gunleather gun belt. It does, however, work fine with my dress belts. In fact, I went out to dinner last night with she who cooks and wore the Ehud with a sport shirt tucked in and it worked quite well. For whatever reason, even though Dale Fricke made this holster also specifically to fit the PM9, i.e., without the extra length, the Ehud seemed quite stable in a pair of dress pants sized to accomodate a gun and holster. Here are the pics:

Well I thought I had posted on this one at some point, but find I am remiss. I carry my P45 in either an open top Don Hume (less and less these days, and not just due to the wife robbing me of my gun) or (get ready for this) an Ace Case tuckable sized for the 380. A whopping $10 for that holster at CTD, it's stable, hides very well, and stays put. Yes the leather is a little on the thin side, but it works, and for the price that's ok.

Does the holster carry your Kahr high and tight to the body?
I have a DH 721 (with thumb snap) that I've used for several years with a Glock 23. I really like the holster because of the "high and tight" ride with a good carry angle. I have a 721OT for a 1911 that I don't care for but have been considering getting a 721OT for my K40 because of my experience with the Glock.

The Don Hume and others like it didn't work for me as they are just folded over and stitched (cheap). Always collapsed on me when I would take my gun out to leave in my truck. Then I would have to adjust my belt to compensate for the lack of retention.
I carry a Jason Winnie, they have a unique "built up or solid" side that does not allow the holster to collapse and I can re holster my gun with one hand without looking, now that's doing it right.
I have several, I have one that sits low and tight (appendix style) but I carry it @ 3-4 o'clock. The other sits up about 3/4 of an inch.
