Hi all,
I just wanted to give a quick review of my new holster for my CW9....
This is my 4th Holster from Winthrop Holsters, I have been thoroughly impressed with their quality and the fact they have many of the styles already made in stock and ship within 7 days.... Having sold my XDS 9mm in a similar set up to get back in the Kahr Game, I decided i couldn't wait for a more custom holster and wanted to carry during the hot summer months.
My usual EDC is a CZ P07 and i love it, its ergonomics are outstanding and 16+1?! lol got to love it. I carry it in a White Hat Holster and you just forget its there, it is an awesome piece of kit. However, although it carrys well and conceals moderately, it is too noticeable when wearing cargo shorts and a polo in 90+ Degree's.. So i have been wearing my XDs 9mm but i just wasn't too enamored with the grip.. it was nice don't get me wrong, but even with the small backstrap on, Talon grips and a pearce extension, it just gave me the psychological impression that i was 'hanging on'...
**Disclaimer, i receive no discount, reward nor incentive to be supportive of any product i review, if i like it i tell people.... if i don't well i still tell people lol
I digress... Here are some pics of the holster:

My CW9 is obviously fitted with the junior grip and rocking the 8 round mag... The holster is moulded well to the gun and holstering / unholstering is smooth and quiet, yet it also has adequate retention to inspire confidence. I actually like the snap belt loops, makes putting it on and off a breeze. These are 1.5inch loops to go around my SOE Gear Rigid Cobra belt, however, i do have some 1.75inch loops just in case!
Here is a shot of the upper part of the holster, you can see the reinforced mouth and the fact the trigger guard is protected, which is nice when you are carrying with one in the spout!

Here is a shot of the back, the leather is treated so is smooth and rigid but has a good level of comfort. The sweatshield also does a good job of preventing the majority of the gun touching your skin, if (like me) you simply choose to carry under a t-shirt or polo in summer.

I wear it in my golf shorts and t-shirt / polo's all day long and its extremely comfortable. I wear it with both an SOE rigid Cobra belt (1.5inch) as well as my everyday 'normal' belt, such is the comfort / design of the holster. I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone wanting a relatively 'economical' holster for summer but yet does not want to wait 10+ weeks!
Peace.
