CW9 wearing new clothes

[AdamSean]

I have been going in circles as to which holster would be the best for my needs. I have to wear a collared shirt at work and am constantly bending, lifting, twisting, etc. I have been using a DeSantis Sof-Tuck and like it a lot. I decided to go one up and get a kydex holster. After looking at all the options and turn around times, I went with a Comp-Tac 2 O'clock. It was here within 2 weeks and I so far, it fits great. Good retention, tuckable and lightweight. I have yet to wear it at work, but after I get home from my shift this evening, I will post my thoughts. Until then, enjoy this picture.

That looks good. I assume you are going to wear it at 2:00?

Another choice for work dress rules is the SmartCarry (http://www.smartcarry.com/).

I am going to wear it at 2 O'clock. It will easily ride at 3 and 4 as well, but it is better for which it is designed. AIWB

Here are some pics of it being worn.

Looks good! I'd wear a longer shirt, though, because that one will cause problems if you bend over. Duluth Trading (http://www.duluthtrading.com/store/mens/duluth-ingenuity/mens-longtail-t-shirts/mens-longtail-t-shirts.aspx?) has longtail Ts that are ideal for carrying concealed.

I can see it when you lift your shirt up.:o

Update. I hate it!!! It jabs into my soft tissues and rubs deep. It is unbelievably painful! I read somewhere that the issue with the Comp-Tac 2 O'clock is that by offsetting the clip, it creates a wide pattern where you want the thinnest profile available. So to give it one last chance, I trimmed the clip to give it a narrower profile. I will wear it tomorrow to see how it works out. If not, I will be sending it back as soon as I get my replacement clip to have an infidel made for it and stick with a pocket pistol for work.

Its funny that the cheaper DeSantis Sof-Tuck is easier to carry than the better made Comp-Tac.

I can't wait. I ordered an Old Faithful Belly Holster. I have had one of their stealth behind the hip holsters in the past for another gun and it worked out great. So I should have ordered this one in the first place. Much cheaper thsan the Crossbreeds and fully adjustable.

I expected that. The only spot I find the most comfortable is in the small of my back for a IWB. I am looking for a holster with two belt loops/clips. One belt clip or loop allows the holster to ride back and forth on the belt. I expect a trade off in comfort to find something close that doesn't stay in one spot or jabs me.

I'm wondering why the holster wasn't displayed with the J Hook in proper position (behind and hooked under the belt)?

I hope you have good results with it, but it looks like it will be similarly uncomfortable.

I looked long and hard to find an appendix holster that would work comfortably with my smaller CM9. Kydex holsters didn't work with my soft belly. :p I am not young and slender like you. I have a pretty good middle aged spread and a 42" waist. So what works for me should easily work for you. I just recently found a very inexpensive holster that works beautifully! It is made of leather and is very compact. It is the Kusiak Holster (http://www.kusiakleather.com/store.html). (The one for the CW9 is on page 2.) Here is a pic of the one that fits your gun.

That smooth, rounded shape makes it SO comfortable! It stays open for easy reholstering. The clip is easy on and off, yet it makes it like the holster is screwed to my belt. So no shifting around. Just $39.20 shipped.

Here is the thread that convinced me to buy one, and I sure am glad I did! :D
