I have been trying to decide on what holster to use for my CM9. After watching a training video I decided to go with a kydex holster. The problem was every holster I found had some feature I didn't like, so I decided on making my own. After a ton of research and development I made two holsters that I'm very happy.

There is nothing wrong with the PJ holster I just like removable belt loops and the possibility of changing configurations.

I really like that. You could even change that to a IWB. SWEET.

I have already made different belt loops for converting into a iwb holster. I probably won't change it though because I've already made a dedicated iwb holster that has removable belt clips.

Sweet work for your first try! I'd love to see a side shot from below, if you wouldn't mind.
Also, if you paste the IMG code into the message window it will just show the image instead of a link, like this:

Sweet. I like the first one the best. I have a Gerrett silent thunder IWB for my PX4 SC. Great holster. What I like about yours is the style and the fact you can have double IWB belt clips.

Thanks, I just looked at a bunch of pics and tried to incorporate all of the features that I liked into one. The list of people that want holsters keeps growing so I guess it was a success.

Just a note of caution. I can see the trigger with a strong depression molded behind it. Could the trigger get pulled by that depression when holstering the loaded gun?

I just finished a holster for a Taurus PT145 and it looked the same way. I checked it very carefully and I couldn't make it push the trigger.

I want an owb one if your going to start making them for my cw9!!! Let me know how much you are charging. Local dealer needs to use my gun for a mold which would leave me without a ccw and price is high.

What about pocket holsters? And what would your estimated turnaround time be?

Is the price including shipping or do you happen to live in Colorado??? Can you also make it without a the cant, and wide enough belt loops for an OWB for my Ares belt to fit through??? Thanks

I will include shipping to help a fellow gun lover out. I can make them just about any way you want. If you tell me what your belt height is I can make the belt loops to match and just as easy I can change the cant.
