Got this along with my new cm9 and really like the way it holds the gun close. For $34, it's hard to beat it. It also looks very nice, but I'm not sure why the stitching at the top just suddenly stops. it doesn't add much bulk either, but it's surprisingly stiff leather.

Not sure why the stitching stops, but it seems to be the way they are according to a couple of pictures of the style I have looked at.
I can only speculate, but I'd guess they are using a generic cutting die (by barrel size) and on larger/wider guns they need to stop in order not to interfere with the belt hole.
The cm9 is on the small end on the size scale, so it looks more out of place as there is more room to work with. If they took the time, they could probably move that second stitch line over and run it all the way to the top, but that reduces the number than can be built per hour.
This company is making tons of holsters and I'd guess it's typical for this price range.
If you want a better looking holster, you will likely need to get one from an outfit which spends more time to make them - and won't send out a marginal looking holster. But that kind of company will command a substantially higher price for that kind of quality.

I like it, looks good. I like my crossbreed supertuck but my personal favorite for my snub and my cw9 is remora holsters.
How are you liking the new kahr? Thin is in!
