Cm9 owb winthrop vs braids

[Kn0ck4times]

Looking for a under $50 leather owb. Never worn a leather pancake holster before ( normally wear kydex). I have narrowed it down to the Winthrop and a Braids pancake. Looking for any insight or customer pictures of the two, open to other option in that price range also. Trying to keep it on a budget till I figure out if I will even like leather.

I have the Bonneville. Very well made holster. I have one made for my CM9 w/ct laser.
$65 so its a little out of your range but you'll probably have it for many years. Good luck!

I have a Braids OWB for my Shield and it is well made. Thick leather, well-formed with good retention. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with Braids.

Come to think of it I also have his OWB for my 3 inch SP101. Same comments apply.

No, sorry. Just click on the link. The bonneville is a little different from when I got mine anyway.

I just received a Winthrop OWB pancake for my PM9. It is a great fit and seems to be a quality holster. It is my second Winthrop holster the first was for and XDs 45 that I have worn off and on for couple of years. I would recommend it for the price.

Slimlawson how much of the trigger gaurd is covered? Ive seen a wide range in their holsters from half to all of trigger covered. Thanks.

I recently purchased an IWB for my PM45, made in Eastern Europe, took 4 weeks to get it but it's a nice holster. Slightly higher than your budget, but comes with a 5 year warranty.
They also have OWB pancake styles.

There is about 1/2" of the trigger guard where it attaches to the grip that is not covered by the holster This allow for a good grip on the pistol for the draw. 100% of the trigger is covered by the holster and the pistol is held very secure.

There are some photos of the Winthrop pancake holster I use for my MK9 here: http://www.kahrtalk.com/showthread.php?29994-Holster-for-my-MK9

I imagine the fit would be very similar to what it would be for a CM9.

Scrolling around the forum this morning and saw this year-old thread. Based upon some current experience, I thought I'd drop another option on the table for comfortably carrying a CM9 OWB.
After buying and trying a drawer full of IWB rigs, I gave it up when a buddy recommended the Don Hume JIT. Price was something like $35.00 delivered and I got it in a week. The website says to call for availability so I did. Told the nice lady which gun I needed it for, and that I'm left handed... she said yes, we have that one. She took my CC # and BINGO...within the same week, I had it.

I carry mine in crossdraw, with a sturdy belt. Holds the CM9 snug to the body without any sensation of it even being there. I'm left handed and find keeping the gun at about 2:00 O'clock (just forward of actually on the side @3:00 O'Clock) works best for clean draw, standing, sitting, driving the car, riding the motorcycle..etc. I still have the use of my right side pants pocket. In fact, the only downside is that I've had to get used to going around with my shirttail outside my pants. That's a change for me that takes getting used to but it's working out real well so far. A thin ribbed tank top, tucked into my jeans...then a T-shirt over it all or a "fishing shirt" ( which are ubiquitous down here in Florida already) and I'm good to go.
