$140! Yikes, what would make that worth the price?

I had one and for me it was very uncomfortable to wear. Mine was for a 1911 but the design works best with a wheelgun. They are very thick and bulky and IMO a real pain to use for a concealment rig. Your better off with a regular Kramer IWB. Besides the thickness of it, it had a severe cant which does not work well with a semi-auto.
Why this for $140?

When you can have many of these for HALF...
Many of Fist's IWB holsters
I'm just sayin'...

I worked for a gunstore that was FACTORY DIRECT with Kramer and I NEVER sold one in the THREE years I worked there.
I heard from some customers the comfort factor wasn't there.
As far as pricing, yeah, that is a bit much, in my opinion but they do make good gear. I especially like the horsehide stuff. Their paddle is still my favorite, hands down.
If you are deadset, try to find a Kramer Dealer (The Marksman in Puyallup, WA) is where I worked. Maybe they can get you a better price ordering thru them.
Good luck!

I bought three Kramer holsters, an OWM and two IWB. I found them good enough, but not up to the quality and boning of other top makers. I gave one of the IWBs away to a police officer who went to our church.
In my view they are too thick and not comfortable.
Mine are cowhide, and horsehide might be significantly better, but I don't know.
On the other hand I understand, from those who know, that his paddle holsters are the standard by which others are judged. They are a bit pricy which is the reason I don't have one. I prefer snap loop holsters to paddles, but if I did have a job like NCIS, I would get one of his paddles. Otherwise I don't want to spend $140 or $155 for one, no more than I would use it.

To add to my original opinion and post. The gun you have a Smith CS45 is a fairly small semi-auto and you'd be much better served with a rig along the lines of a Sparks VMII or Alessi Hideout. Now that Lou's daughter has taken over the shop, there promising faster delivery and the last I heard was approx 10 weeks. Considering Kramer runs about six, another month isn't bad. The Hideout is a thin and extremely comfortable IWB rig and by far one of my favorites. Check them out at Alessi Gun Holsters
