New CW9 owner / Holster advice

[jpm2717]

I just got my CW9. I had a great time shooting it tonight. Can you offer any suggestions on a good IWB holster? I have heard a lot of good things about Cross Breed. Thanks.

I don't care for IWB, so I carry my CW9 in a Tagua Gunleather Quick Draw. It draws the pistol as close as IWB but more comfortable for me. TGL does make a nice IWB holster with a metal clip on the side that would work quite well in that application. Their holsters generally run about half the price of the big names and their quality is also very good. They have a life time warranty

I use a Crossbreed Supertuck for my P9. Get one of their gun belts also. make the belt two sizes longer than your normal size. Get a NRA discount when you order online. (look carefully for the discount).

Good people. Great product. Very comfortable.

I like to wear my shirttails out when I'm at home anyway so an IWB holster at the 4 position works well for me. I got a Bianchi Model 100 Size 9A for my CW9. Works well. The thing I like best about it is that it has a high back that prevents the gun's edges from rubbing up against your body. Only downside is that I wish it were angled forward a bit more, but that's just a minor nit. First couple of days I could feel the stitching in the leather rubbing up against me but within a very short period of time that softened up nicely. Overall I'm satisfied.

I found for the P9/PM9, and IWB I use the comp-tac ProUndercover. Small holster that works very well for the light weight thin Kahr pistols.

I have several holsters for each of my pistols. Crossbreed is an excellent holster. For any holster to work well it must be paired with a good belt made to carry a gun. I have a JIT for the CW9, it is a good belt holster for the range, it does not hide a pistol well under a cover garment. The two best IWB holsters I have tried are the Crossbreed Super Tuck and the Comp-Tac CTAC. My experience with these two holsters is the CTAC takes less room in the jeans or pants, but the Crossbreed is more comfortable for all day wear. Both great holsters, that allow tucked in shirt wear or a cover garment untucked! I have tried several pancake holsters and was surprised to see they can hide a pistol nearly as well as an IWB holster. You must have a jacket, coat or shirt long enough to cover the holster and pistol. To me pancake holsters are more comfortable to carry hand guns for a full day.

I have a PM9 and use a Mini Tuck. Works great and very comfortable.

I carry a P45 in a Don Hume (no idea what model), and an el cheapo tuckable from Cheaper Than Dirt. I carry IWB 99.99% of the time, and in a shoulder holster when I can. Rarely, do I carry OWB.

Check out this thread. I got one for my PM45 and while I don't have alot of wear time on it as yet it seems to be a winner. A ton of good reports from fellow members here and a great price. Don't get much better.
I'm not a IWB guy generally but this one seems to work better than any I've tried before.
Genuine good guy and retired soldier to boot. Check it out.

With my CW9 and PM45 I nearly always pocket carry [inside jacket or front pants] in an Uncle Mike's # 4 or another leather pocket holster. I do have a CB and Kholster that will fit both, and personally, find the Kholster a bit more comfortable.

Kholster IWB

Half the price, and better build quality than the others.

Very true.....these are very nice holsters and Rick is a very great guy to work with. He will go out of his way to be sure you are happy and the holster works and conceal wonderfully.

My other IWB is a comfort carry (http://www.jndtactical.com)......more money very nice holster too. I try to support the guys iknow do good work.

I have both a CrossBreed SuperTuck and a Comp-Tac Minotaur for my CW40. Both are excellent holsters.

As you can see from my avatar I carry in a Cross Breed Mini Tuck. I have a pile of holster I will never wear after buying this one.

Just my 2 cents.

IWB: You really cannot beat the RM Low Rider for the CW9 from Rocketman holsters. About three weeks to turn around and the BEST IWB I own and I own a bunch including Rosens and Sparks.

OWB: Kramer Belt Scabbard.

Imperative: A good GUN belt.

My Kholster works great. I forget I'm even wearing it most of the time. They have a deal where you can get 10% off if you're referred from someone else. In a couple of weeks, their crescent kholsters (which are made to fit Kahrs) will be on sale for about $40, if you're interested.
