As you can see in my related thread on paddle holsters, I'm not 100% happy with a paddle. Do you have recommendations for an OWB holster without a paddle that uses either clips or loops to attache the holster to the belt? Remember that I have the Crimson Trace laserguard attached to the gun. TIA.

Good question, I have the same set up. When I carry it OWB, I am using a tagua leather holster (for a 1911), that I simply used a razor blade and cut a couple of inner stitches and it fits great. I have been toying with a PJ holster. One of the guys I work with uses a Blade tech, but he does not have a CT Lasergrip....

Update: After doing some looking, I came across the Pro Carry Belt Ride from http://www.theholsterstore.com. It looked decent, small, and reasonably priced, so I thought I'd give it a try.

Before placing the order over the phone, I did a little web research and found an astonishing range of reviews for theholsterstore.com, ranging from raves to vitriolic hatemail. I decided that, since there were some excellent reviews, I would see how thing worked out. Well, so far, so good. I placed the order over the phone with a nice, polite, friendly young lady, who seemed to know what she was talking about, on the Thursday before Christmas. I asked her roughly when I might expect the order to be shipped, and she said probably the following Monday (Christmas eve).

Come Christmas eve, not only had the order been shipped, it actually arrived! On inspection, the holster is well made, nice sturdy leather, with an intelligent design. As expected, the gun was too tight a fit in the holster to use it FOTB, so I followed the simple break-in procedure (which consists of wrapping the gun in a few layers of wax paper with the wax side out and then drawing and replacing the gun in the holster several times. It worked like a charm.

I have now been wearing it and practicing drawing it for about two days, and so far it is extremely comfortable. BTW, I ordered the version with the optional slide guard, a piece of leather that sticks up between the back of the slide and your skin or shirt, depending on what you are wearing. Right now, I like it a lot, and I have nothing but good things to say about the company, its service and the people who work there.

I just received this one on Christmas Eve and I had ordered it three days prior. Awesome OWB holster. I asked for it custom because he doesnt list it as one of the options. But just email him and ask for what you want and its fast and one heck of a price for leather and kydex! Mine fits my PM9 with CT and rides tight to my side at 4 oclock. Check em out...

This holster from the site mentioned above http://www.theholsterstore.net/product-info.php?Pro_Carry_Quick_Slide-pid5232.html looks alot like the one I just bought from www.mdjstore.com (http://www.mdjstore.com). I have tried a ton of these OWB holsters and this one just works finally!
