Fobus holster for CM9: Just say NO

[Doc Holliday]

Don't even waste your money.
Doesn't fit right, cheaply made....junk. :mad:

[stasher1]

Does that really surprise you? I've owned a few of them over the past several years, for different makes/models of guns, and none of them have fit as well as I would have liked. I've learned to just avoid them entirely now and buy Safariland stuff for a few bucks more.

Sometimes you really do get what you pay for.

Have one for my Glock 23 and it fits fine.

Won't even fit in the POS.

Back to looking for a good OWB holster...:confused:

GALCO MATRIX M5X460 = great fit and very nice looking, almost like leather. I am very pleased with mine. It even holds the gun a little closer to the body than most others. :D

Hey Doc....

You want to buy another one. I screwed up and bought one last Saturday myself. Yep, you can adjust the tension screw almost all the way out, and can get the extra wide CM9 trigger guard in, but it's a nasty sloopy looking fit.

I am so sorry guys that you dislike them, but it does not surprise me very much. I would never buy a product from a store that has such a mall ninja and tacticool inspired website.

Heck NO, I'm sending mine back for a full refund.

Galco has just come out with their M6X holster but I didn't see any applications for the Kahr line yet...

The Phantom kydex holster from Raven Concealment Systems is more expensive than the Fobus, but I am pleased with the it:

Here'a a beauty from PJ Holsters: the High Rise Pancake (http://pjholster.com/?page_id=113). Look at how well it fits to the body.

Thanks for the reinforcements! It's also priced at only $26.36 at the Optics Planet Link (http://www.opticsplanet.net/galco-m5x-matrix-kahr-pm9-right-hand-black-m5x460.html) I shared earlier. They are good to deal with as well. :)

I do have a couple of Fobus holsters that perfectly fit the guns they were made for.... one for my Kimber (with the Kimber logo on it) and one for the old KT P32. Neither had the adjustable tension since they were designed specifically for those pistols. Most of the newer ones tend to be made to fit a wide variety... of which they only have a satisfactory fit with 1 or 2 of the models listed on the packaging. I knew better when I threw the 27 bucks on the gunshow table. I should have just been satisfied to find the Kahr 6 round mag on the rack for $28.

On the other hand, the Fobus I ended up with (that also listed the Kahr as a fit) does fit my Kimber perfectly. Great, I now have no less than 6 holsters for a gun I rarely carry anymore. Can't take mine back to the store for a refund.

No they aren't. :mad: Multiple times, I have selected a holster or grip or something, and then added an inexpensive item to qualify for free shipping. Invariably, the inexpensive item is out of stock. They only give an estimated time for restocking when asked, and then it keeps getting pushed out (in other words, they are lying). Then, if I try to get the more important item shipped, they want to charge for shipping. Until they change their website to show when items are out of stock, I will NEVER order from them again.

I don't do on-line auction or electronic money transfers. If someone wants something I have, I'll stick it in a USPS box and mail it to them and they can in turn mail me money. For stuff like a $25-30 holster that I would let someone have for half price, after they paid the $8-9 USPS mailing fee they still wouldn't be saving a ton of money. Stuff like that I just keep back in a pile and try to remember it when one of my local buddies has a "need" and give it to them.

I just ordered two holsters for my CM9....a Remora 3B, and the white hat "max tuck". They both got really good reviews.

I have carried, either at work(LE) or off duty for approx. 48 years. Gosh, that sounds awful. But back to my opinion. I only do leather, mostly Safariland or Galco, paddle and iwb. I have tried the new age Fobus with my issued Glock and my personal Smith 469. Just couldn't get the comfortable feeling of leather, although they were lighter. I have a CM9 and I am trying a Mitch Rosen since I have the Crimson Laser sight(for my old eyes). Can't give a review on it since it just come it. BTW, I am using my galco model STO 226 IWB belonging to my Smith 469. It works and is soft. P.S. Oldtimers may remember the Roy Baker Pancake and the Safariland Klipspringer. Great holsters.

Well since I had several gift cards for a local sporting goods store I too bought the Fobus paddle holster and it said in print on the package that it fit the PM9 among other pistols.
Well not only did the PM9 not fit,it wasn't even close to a fit.
Fobus needs to correct what they are printing on their holster packages as to what pistols work in their product.
Luckily the store took it right back.
Was looking at the Galco mentioned by TucsonMTB and I think I will order accordingly.

I also wear the Galco M5X Matrix paddle with my PM9. It is the most comfortable option I have yet found, and I just wish they made one for the P380. Unlike most paddles, it keeps the gun in tight. It's honestly just rediculously comfortable.

[pawpaw]

i did for my cw9. i can barely get it in and can't get it out. it takes 2 hands to remove it. it's going back.

Just bought the Galco MX5 from Kahr for my PM9 and love it.

[RobMagee]

I just bought the Fobus paddle holster for my CM9 It was way to tight. I watched a YouTube video on how they were made then decided to wedge a small piece of wood the thickness of a ruler in with the gun and heated it up with the hair dryer . It fits perfectly now. I know I should not have to do that. It should have fit out of the box. But I did not want to send it back.
