Holster: To use or not to use, that is the question

[Rescue271]

Ok, I know this may not be a very popular topic but I just want to know what other people out there like, don't like, or just flat out had a bad experience with.

I'm a CW9 owner, and my pistol is equipped with the CT laserguard.

For the moment, I carry without a holster on my right hip inside my belt (with one in the chamber... unsafe as you may think it is) but I just don't know how necessary it really would be to go and buy a 70 dollar crossbreed holster.

The pistol is so light I almost forget that it's there, and it barely makes a print on my shirt (I only wear T-shirts)

If anyone out there is a crossbreed owner fill me in, I want your feedback.

What you need is a PJ IWB Holster (http://pjholster.com/?page_id=37).

will it accomodate the crimson trace laserguard?

+1 on the remora. Just like carrying Mexican but the trigger is covered.

A holster keeps you safe, and keeps you from dropping the gun while preventing loss of same.

Got to cover and keep covered that trigger in the loaded gun. Do not shoot yourself in the foot or butt cheek tucking the gun away...

Thanks for the remora suggestion, wayyyyy cheaper than the crossbreed

You can find a servicable holster for less than $50 that's for sure. Check out some of the "stocking" units from high noon holsters.
There is not a single serious defensive handgun instructor that will recommend not carrying in a holster or some other method of retaining the firearm. Getting real training on the use of a defensive handgun is worth it.

I use a simple slider holster. $19
After a bit it conforms to the shape.
Never had any issues.
I can wear it with anything.
NRA sells leather ones, but they tend to stretch a bit after time, the nylon stays tight.

Get them from Pro something... at work sorry.... can't look it up.

I completely understand that it wasn't safe, I just didn't want to shell out 70 dollars for a holster that takes a couple weeks to make

How about versacarry? Minimal material, trigger guard, $28 shipped.

if you want a cheap way to carry that way remora is a great way to go, but if you want retention and comfort with the ability to reholster pjholster is the way to go hands down. He can make you whatever you want and it's under 50 bucks. I would never carry plaxico burress style without a safety!

check out kahr's shop online... they usually have these holsters in stock so take a look and give them a call... i got my micro clip in 4 days... pjholster will make you one to your order and get it to you in a week or so. Can't beat it!

I have a Crossbreed for my MK9 and am glad I spent a little extra for what I consider to be a premium holster. Its very comfortable and well made, and practically forgettable even with the heavy MK9 in it.

I like the Remora for my CW45 with CT laserguard. It's adjusts to about anyway you want to carry it, and really does grip your clothes without slipping around. Only problem with it I had was I had some loose fitting pants on, and loosened my belt after a meal, then went out to get the mail and forgot to tighten my belt up and the gun slipped down the rear of my pants, I was able to let it drop down a pants leg and retrieve it ok. It was dark by then and no one saw what was going on. Since then I always make sure my belt is tight and have not had any more incidents. I also bought a Remora for my Boberg, and it rides comfortably about any place I put it except for 3:00, I'm just not wide enough that that the handle doesn't print pretty obviously at that position.

I also have a remora and it works well for me..there are some videos on youtube you can watch to see them in action that might help you.

If you want a cheaper alternative, I have a Tagua K40 IWB holster (fits my CM9 just fine). They may make one large enough for a CT, so I would look into that. Then again, I got my holster locally at a large gun store so who knows.

There are some CT supported leather IWB holsters in the Kahr store on their website. They may still be pricey, but cheaper than a Crossbreed.

As others have stated, you definitely need to cover that trigger. That is just an accident waiting to happen. I am certainly for anyone carrying concealed, but I think Mexican carry is just plain dangerous. The trigger pull may be long, but it can still be jerked back.

Welcome to the Kahr community! Hope you enjoy your Kahr and trust your life with it for years to come.
