Opinions: Kahr PM9 IWB and pocket holsters - Page 2

I just bought a Nemises on ebay so I have something to use for the time being and will talk to the folks at Little Bear later today based on the fact that a number of you like their work and alnitak's holster design is exactly what I was looking for

Was just writing how a Nemesis is a must (lost post/browser restart) and saw your last post. Good call, bought mine on eBay too. I use it a lot (goes well with the bathrobe and in jacket pockets). I also have a Milt Sparks PCH I use a lot (jeans, slacks etc). Works great now that I've blocked it out to loosen it a bit.

Also planning to get a Fist pocket holster, and am thinking Kydex for thinness.

Still shopping for IWB myself, and speaking of thin, I'm considering a Milt Sparks Watch Six for IWB (their thinnest IWB holster). After talking to them last week, they suggested a Summer Special 2. And seeing Twin Carry's nice example with a Walther (?) or some other small gun, where he says it's one of his favorites (in his 250 holster thread), I am considering that too. I may get both.

Yesterday I ordered an IWB from Dave at Little Bear. After reading the thread in Glocktalk that Alnitak pointed me to, I decided to get a two clip version just to be sure it was stable enough (especially since I plan to try it with jeans or sweats without a belt).

Dave was great to work with. The rig he is making will have a set of both clips and straps as well as adjustable ride and will be made 'extra' thin with a reinforced opening. Price is $89 shipped and he told me I should have it in three weeks. I'll post pictures when I get it

Thanks for the advice guys

I just got a used Mika pocket holster from a member and wore it all day today in well fitting (not baggie) jeans front pocket. Did numerous trips in the car and walked around also. Completely forgettable in the pocket 99% of the time.

Also played around with draw methods when I got it and it is simple. Heck, I drew out of pocket with my wife standing there and she asked where that gun came from.

Can't ask for more than that.

I bought the Armalaser for my PM9 and picked up the OWB holster that Kahr sells on their website that is compatable with the laser sight, it also works great for back pocket carry.

How do you like the Armalaser?

I'm a gadget hound so I can't help myself from accesorizing. I have already added a Handall Jr. to my PM9 and tried but ended up not using the Pierce grip extenders. I've been thinking of trying the new Crimson Trace for the PM9 when they become available later this year.

I just received my Milt Sparks VM11 for my PM9 and it was worth the wait. I can not believe how comfortable that holster is. I have worn it every day now, three in a row and it is awesome. The fit is a little snug but getting better. I waited 25 weeks and it was like Christmas when it came.....Very nice holster for a very nice weapon.

For belt carry I have a FIST combo IWB/OWB in leather. For pocket carry I have the FIST thin kydex holster. Less bulk than my leather pocket holsters. I really like it.

I'm also looking at the FIST kydex pocket holster for my PM9. Does anyone have any experience with the hybrids that FIST offers? I'm wondering how much it will add to the thickness and defeat the purpose of the ultra thin kydex? Specifically, I was thinking of a suede exterior/kydex interior combo that may help the holster stay in the pocket when drawn.

Hey bklynboy... Me too. Bay Ridge. Anyway...

I've got a Fist Ultra Thin Kydex holster for my PM9. Unusually comfortable for a kydex IWB holster. I haven't had any problem with it staying put, even without a belt, considering it only has a steel clip.
As for a pocket holster, I've been using a cheapo Uncle Mikes. Tried a DeSantis "Nemesis". Well made, but was a bit too bulky for me (compared to the UM).
