Hi all,

I'm in the market for a really comfortable IWB holster that can accommodate my CM9 w/ a CrimsonTrace. In particular I'm looking for a design similar to a Crossbreed Microclip. It's unfortunate that Crossbreed doesn't offer that model to be laser compatible.

Would like the holster to have the following:
* Comfort
* Hybrid materials (not a fan of all leather rigs)
* Accommodates a Crimson Trace LG-437
* Single clip
* Canted or adjustable cant
* Slim & Compact Design
* Stable (not free floating)

I've tried alien gear (bulky with two clips), remora (not enough stability), and Sticky holsters (same as remora) and would like to continue to search for something better for me. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Take a look at this thread. (http://www.kahrtalk.com/showthread.php?23457-IWB-Holster-Anyone-else-try-this&highlight=holster) I use the Cook's holster during the warm season, and a leather OWB holster during the cold season. I like my Cook's holster better than all the rest, but during the cold season, a IWB holster is too hard to get to. In any event, I think you will find the suggested thread informative.

BTW, the Cook's holster in that thread (http://www.cooksholsters.com/iwb-holster-w-adjustable-belt-clip/)meets all of your criteria. In my opinion, Alien Gear holsters are all hype and no substance. I bought one just to see what all the hype was about. The fact that you can trade-in your old shell for a different weapons shell is very appealing. Still the holster sits in my holster drawer. I really hate it, and never use it.

I'm surprised CB don't offer this on the micro.

I bought a TRex iwb for my Glock 23 and really like it. It doesn't meet all of your "wants" but might be worth checking out.

You may want to look at FOXX holsters. I have a few of them and the price is reasonable and turn around time is not bad. I have the standard FoxX Hybrid and that’s $39 including shipping
pretty much the same as the Crossbreed but he does do the laser

(...edited to add, sorry, thought it accommodated Crimson Trace. Just checked, apparently not.)

The Theis EZ-Clip is similar although it doesn't have an offset clip like the Crossbreed, if I remember correctly. Can't speak to its comfort as mine is still on order but soon, I hope.

Thanks everyone for the recommendations. That Foxx and THEIS holsters are the closest to what I'm looking for.

Like the above poster mentioned though, I wish the clip was off to the side to keep the fit slim. Either way those are great looking holsters and reasonably priced.

Thanks again to all

Just got my replacement shell from Alien Gear for my Cloak tuck 2.0 yesterday for my Pm9 w/ Crimson Trace Laser. Very well made, very comfortable and great fit. Will, post pic after work

Congrats on the new rig. I had the cloak 2.0 when I was carrying a Glock 42 and I have nothing but good things to say about Alien Gear. I had minor issues with my cloak 2.0 but they sent out replacement parts right away and also shipped some extra parts along with it.

Only reason I don't carry a cloak 2.0 now is because I prefer something with one clip vs two.

Nonsense.

AG makes an excellent holster, I would say easily as good as Crossbreed and for substantially less dough (also without the slightly irritating crosses - come on guys, Jews carry guns too - on the belt clips). and the swappable shells are a nice feature.

el_presidente, after re-reading my post, I'll have to admit that I overstated my opinion. It's not really the AGH that I dislike, it's the hybrid style of holster. If I were packing a 1911, I would probably find a hybrid to be a more attractive option, but with a pistol as small as a CM, the AGH just takes up too much real estate. Just my opinion.

I have to agree with this comment. I had the cloak 2.0 for a glock 42 and it took up too much room inside the waistband for what I was carrying. I ended up going with a remora for most occasions. Now I'm looking for something that is minimal but a little more supportive than a remora hence the thread. I'm thinking of trying the n82 holster.
