Looking for an OWB holster and was wondering if someone could give me any suggestions...? Don't want to spend a lot of $$, but want something that is leather and keeps the trigger guarded without any chance of it falling out. Thanks.

I bought an Alessi belt-slide from KahrShop for my PM9. Very comfy, leather is thin (read: light + low profile = good), good retention, VERY well made. But pls note that it is NOT designed to ride high. Contact KahrShop if they have in stock for CW9.

There are many other VERY good selection between $50 ~$100 range, you'll have a lot of shopping to do. I have tried a UBG (for another gun) which is also very comfy and well built. I'm not going to mention other generic holsters, they are plenty of nice ones... but "generic" is just generic.

Google frequently, fromtime to time I've seen nice custom holsters for a very reasonable price. Good luck.

Here's some pix of Alessi with my PM9, see if you like it. http://kahrtalk.com/holsters-gear/315-alessi-belt-slide-mk-pm-pix-added-2.html

I don't carry OtW too often so I didn't want to spend a ton on holster. I looked around and found at Highnoon holsters the Yaqui skin (http://www.highnoonholsters.com/Product_Line/Yaqui_Skin/yaqui_skin.html) holster on sale for $29.99. The "double action auto" is a perfect size for the CW9. It holds the gun upside down with a few turns on the tensioners

here's a few pics of the Yaqui on mine:

Here are two from Mitch Rosen that I've used. The first is a lefty I bought for a family member.

Here is the Premier, on the right, with the excellent Galco Concealable. Note the increased cant of the Galco. I like the easy on and off feature of the Premier.

I disliked the Jak slide holster. Too hard to draw straight up.
