OWB for CM40

[OldFatGuy]

What do you folks like? I pocket carry now, because I haven't tried an OWB holster that I liked, it just feels like the thing is sticking right out there. I'm not a slim guy so it doesn't just hide easily.

When I don't pocket carry my CM9, a PJ kydex IWB holster is light and small and comfortable. For OWB I order leather from nelsonholsters.com. E-mail him,he has different styles depending on user's wants. More concealment, a 12:00 pouch holster is comfortable for me.

MK40 Elite.
Crossfire Traverse - OWB / Cross-draw.
It's very comfortable even when driving.
And is nearly invisible.
Naturally use a good gun-belt.
I like Galco SB5 Sport.

So is that holster from Kahr? I don't see it on their site.

No, it's from Crossfire Elite LLC.
Mine have typically ran 1/2" large.
So I'd order the 2.5" sub-compact one for a CM40.

High quality stuff.
Plus is can be worn inside/outside the belt.
Left and right handed.
The strap can be easily removed.

Bulldog Cases slide: works surprisingly well for the $$. I got mine at Cabelas for <$20. Any good slide or pancake will pull the gun in close...

This particular OWB paddle holster does a great job of keeping the pistol close to your side, but some complain about how it can get uncomfortable when sitting in a car. It can, but I just shift it a bit and it's fine. At only $35 bucks, it's a great value.

There's also this:

I bought one of these, though I modified because it was too tight for pulling on and off easily. I put a couple washers between the holster and the paddle. It has a thumbsnap, too. I don't wear it, though, because I like the first one I listed better.

Thanks! Got some good suggestions.

You can see my pics in the holster forum. The first is the High Noon Split Decision IWB which is good for deep concealment but fast access. It rides high with a 15 degree cant at 3:30 and is almost undetectable. I'm a large person and it fits me very well.

How about a small iwb holster but wear it between the belt and pants for your owb needs. Keeps it pinned to your body . Cooks holster has one of the highly copied models that has 0* to 20* of cant also . Small handguns can be harder to owb .
