After two hip replacements, I thought I'd have to give up IWB carry because of holster pressure. I tried Alessi Talon Plus, Crossbreed, and Galco Stop n Go. All failed. Then I stumbled across N82 IWB Tactical holsters ($39.95) on youtube and bought one for my PM9. It is simply the best, most comfortable IWB I've ever tried (except for Sparks Summer Special which doesn't work well IMO with short barreled handguns).

It has a smooth cushioned leather side against your body with a neoprene sheet inside to stop sweat from penetrating and hooks to the belt or waistband with the usual metal clip. The holster body itself is nylon that molds to the gun with use. Driving, sitting and walking it is a pleasure to wear at 3:30 or 4 o'clock and no nerve pressure on the hip. For pocket carry I use a DiSantis Nemisis which works well. There is a more expensive Professional model for $69.95 with a rigid polymer pocket instead of nylon that is better for re-holstering. On his podcast Michael Bane raves about them and they are all US made. I hope this helps those who in the past have been sensitive to IWB carry in the hip area. Let me know what you think.

Hey Madjud, I hope you are recovering well from your surgery. I've not had hip surgery but I have had two back surgery and still have pain all the time. Therefore, I can understand having to work around medical issues.
ANother holster you might try is blade-tec's eclipse. Even though it is not IWB, it is easy to hide. I can easily wear a polo shirt (Land's End has some that are longer in back), sweater, sweat shirt.... and no one is the wiser. My husband and I check each other to make sure we are adequately hiding the gun (which we turn into a game) and the eclipse works great for the pm9. And, by the way he agrees that Milt Sparks summer special is the most comfortable IWB holster. I will be ordering one of those when I decide which gun I want it for, it will probably be for my Sig 226.
Happy shooting!!

Im lucky n82 is right down the road from me so I was able to stop in a pick up my holster for my xds. I went with the pro model. They seem like a great group of people .They even gave me a t- shirt!! I like the holster alot.
