Ordered my holster Sunday, and it arrived today (Friday).

Smells like it is hot off the press(smells like adhesive where the leather attaches to the Kydex)

This is a very nice holster. I especially like the adjustable cant vs having to change clips for different carrying styles. I haven't been able to carry today as I am at work, but It looks like a keeper.

For reference, I have 2 other Kydex holsters for my Glocks (Sidearmor), so I am familiar with kydex products.

The only thing I have noticed is that there is not a "positive snap" when inserted and removed like on my Sidearmors, but I am sure that has a lot to do with it being leather lined.

Regardless, this looks like a very well made holster, nice hardware, lightweight and I'm sure it will last many years:D

As it gets used to the gun, you will hear a little snick as it comes in and out. That is a desired feature as the clack of a Kydex is an announcement. After a very short time you will feel and hear it "lock" when it slides into place.

Look like this? Mine is two days old and I used it for 6 hours today and love it.

No I have the heavy duty clip and my leather is still real light.

I had installed the rubber decals on my pm9 from Kahr, and while I really liked them for pocket carry, first time I carried IWB it was like sandpaper on my love handles. They pulled off real easy and left no residue. Glad they were only $ 10.00

I have the light colored leather on both of mine with that standard clip. Kind of like the looks of the dark leather. Might go with that on my next one.

I figure before long the leather will age to that color anyway. But the dark does look nice....maybe i will go rub dirt and oil on mine now!!

I kind of like the light color too though. A man should probably have both. Maybe we can call it a fashion accessory?

How cool is this! We got Ron Garrett in the house? Somehow I missed the first 3 post.

Welcome aboard Ron, sure glad your here. You and Sheryl have quite a loyal group of fans here for sure.

I'm pondering one of them 7 mag pouches myself next. Might have to put oversize springs on the chair on that side to support the weight but would sure be nice to have 7 mags on the belt at the range or anytime I feel I might need em which is about all the time.

We appreciate some of the special offers you'd put up for us too. I got lucky and took advantage of them twice so far.

Guys, they make great products. Help them by posting on other gun forums. We don't only shoot KAHR's. The leather lining made me a believer. I am trying to talk them into an driving holster that will rotate up into a crossdraw.

my bidness is coming to ron, hopefully pretty soon......or as soon as i can figure out which guns i'm going to own and holster. i'm going to change my name from pop....to dazed and cornfused. to be clear, i know exactly where to place my holster dollar.... hmmm, wonder if there's a one-size-fits-all silent thunder?

I'd say no and that's a good thing. They fit like they grew around the gun and that's what you really want.
Besides if one size fit all you'd only get to own one holster.
I figure I need about 13 more to cover the rotation, IWB, OWB, all leather, the silent thunder for each of course, well 13 might not be quite enough but it would be a good start.

I see these now and want one SOOOO bad!! How do the standard clips retain on the quick draw though? My crossbreed minituck does fine, but the Micro with just one clip pulls the holster right out(I have a strong pull).

I'm concerned about that on this holster, and am leaning towards the 2 belt loop option. Any suggestions?

Also, does anyone know if they have a military discount without me having to bother Ron? If not, I will ask him myself.
Thanks!

Yes, they do have a discount... 10 or 20 percent I believe.

I've never had my holster come out with a draw using the standard clip, but have had it do so with the j-hook.

The standard clip will not come off during a draw as it is hooked under the belt. Actually, I've never had any of our clips release during a draw.

We do have a standard LE/Military discount as a way of saying thanks to those who put themselves in harms way for our protection.

Thank you Ron. Can you confirm that it's either 10 or 20%?

This one has the standard belt clip and a optional Black leather lining. Great holster.

Ron, remember, if you need testers for the "Fusion" for the KAHR PM9.......

BTW, this rig will be used in a Ladies only basic firearms training class Tues. evening. Can't wait for their reactions.

Neither of mine have ever pulled out on the draw. The standard clip fits very securely. It fits the belt size very closely. I think even a clip one size large than your belt, like 1 3/4 for a 1 1/2 belt would work well too.

I don't recall what the LE discount is, I thought it was 15% last time I ordered but then Sheryl, bless her little pea pickin heart told me they were having a 20% off sale in a month so she just went ahead and did that.

Good people.
