My state is new to concealed carry, and so am I! My main carry "piece" is .45 XDs, but I have a little Keltec P3AT specifically for pocket carry.

I just found a good deal on a CW380. Because of its better quality (I hope), sights, and trigger, I hope the little Kahr can move into the #1 spot for my pocket carry.

I have an Alabama kydex pocket holster on the way for the Keltec, but I was wondering if the holster might also possibly accommodate the CW380. Do you think there's any chance it might fit both pistols? I suspect the Remora I've been using up until now probably will. Just wondered if the kydex mold might serve a dual purpose.

Any thoughts?

The kydex probably won't work for both, but I can attest that my p3at and cw380 both fit in my remora.

I know it's probably too much to ask. But, I have a N82 Pro holster for my XDs, and my CM9 happens to fit in it quite nicely (although the retention does not "take" with the CM).

Just hoping, I guess...

Thanks!

The Alabama pocket holster I have for my CM9 is specifically molded for that gun. That leads me to believe the Keltec holster won't fit your Kahr.

A follow up, in case anyone reads this later...

After measuring and comparing the guns, I thought a P3AT holster would NOT work for the CW380, but it looked like there was a chance it could possible work the other was around.

I was lucky! I contacted Alabama Holster before my pocket holster was built, and they were kind enough to switch the order to fit my Kahr. It came today, and I am really, really pleased with the design and fit.

It goes in and out of the pocket MUCH more easily than the Remora holster I had used, and does not print since the overall thickness is SO thin.

Delivery time was 8 weeks, and what I got was worth the wait. By the way, the Keltec P3AT does fit nicely, it not perfectly in case I ever need to press it into service. After the range session so far with the Kahr, though, the Keltec is moving to the second string!

You've been spoiled. The P3AT will take the backseat from now on.

My advice is to sell the Keltec.
