Holster options for MK9

TheGreatGonzo · #1 02-23-2010, 07:37 AM

I'm getting ready to start seriously hunting some leather for my MK9. Can somebody please advise what other Kahr models share the same frame size, so that I can look for holsters that will work?
Thanks,
Gonzo

Dunno how you intend to carry. I have a K9 myself and I use a Bianchi 6B ATB IWB style holster clipped inside my pocket most of the time. My next one of this style will be a Crossbreed or MTAC.

I use a DeSantis Speed Scabbard for OWB carry but honestly I don't like it all that much (it might well be my cheapo belt as what I don't like is it flops around a bit, or it might be the three slot design my next one of this style will be a two slot style).

I also sometimes use a horizontal shoulder rig. Mines an elcheapo and I intend to replace it with something much nicer from Andrews Custom Leather but it works nicely for now.

I already own the three and I will have more before I am done so I full well agree with the drawer full before I find the "one" I prefer, and honestly I like the different styles so I can't say I will ever settle on one holster, then again if I never get another I feel like I have one that will be perfect for how I want to carry on any given day.

I use a Crossbreed Minituck for my PM9, and I think it has the exact same dimensions as your MK9. Love it!

I am currently using a Mitch Rosen belt slide for my PM9. Great holster for OWB. I should have a Tucker Silent Thunder this week for IWB and I'll post my thoughts after I get it.

I have a MTAC for another gun that weighs about the same as your MK9. I really like the comfort and concealibility.

Yep. I have the Minituck for my MK9. It's awesome. I'm aware of it but not from any discomfort. It's just another article of clothing. Not much different than wearing a case for my phone.

Mitch Rosen Clipper is a very good one, no wait time -- if you buy from KahrShop. If you want designer rig, take a look at HBE and Garrity.

If you are thinking of OWB, both Mitch Rosen and Alessi belt-slide are top notch for the money... and I have an Alessi which I am thinking of selling... I use the HBE IWB all the time so it can go.

I wish CB made a cell phone carrier as comfortable. My PM9 is more comfortable to wear than my stupid case, but that's a personal problem I could change a lot cheaper than another CB.

I have a custom one sim. to this coming for my MK soon.

...and these coming for my XD9sc...

They are from TT Gunleather and are some of the finest leather I have seen (and used) IMHO.

Hello gentlemen, new here so FWIW. I made my own holster because I like to IWB carry on my right hip with the butt forward. Couldn't find anything to meet that need so decided to make my own. Hand sewn with leather loop and snap.
Regards to all.
