Recommendations
Last fall I purchased a CM 9 for off duty carry. Had been carrying my G27, but wanted something smaller and easier to conceal. At that time I purchased a Crossbreed Minituck. Great holster, comfortable and just all around great. Works well in the winter, but really am looking for a single clip, IWB tuckable, that is smaller than the minituck for summer use. I tried one in particular, but it added way too much bulk to the gun, somewhat defeating the purpose of a small/thin/light weapon.
I do not like the Jclips, preferring the standard style clip. I like a holster that rides low, for better concealability.
Any recommendations from anyone?
Thanks in advance!

Try P J Holster. This is the thinnest, lightest, most comfortable and functional holster I have ever used. Paul makes each per order and you can customize cant, ride height, etc... He makes a tuckable, belt clip version. This might be the best option. Call or email him and he can give you all the info you might need.

The standard Over the Belt Clip IWB Holster from PJ is great right behind the hip with an untucked shirt or T-shirt to cover it. Only holster I have ever seen that is so small, thin and comfortable that you cannot feel it there at all! If you want tuckable, he can do it with very little thickness. The Velcro along with the tuck feature makes for very discrete carry with nothing showing on the belt. You can't go wrong with Paul's holsters!

I've heard Kydex can cause more holster wear on a gun than leather. Any comments/experience here?

Garrett Industries Silent Thunder is a great holster also. I like that the adjustable clip gives you the ability to get the cant you prefer.

I have had my PJ kydex for about 8 months. I use it daily for my CM9. The gun is in and out of the holster several times everyday. I have not one bit of holster wear on my gun. I look at my CM9 as a work horse daily carry and totally expected it to show wear. It was bought to carry not to look good. Much to my surprise, no wear marks are evident. Being the CM9 is stainless I don't know, maybe wear will show on blued or coated guns.

I absolutely love my theis holster. I thought I was going to hate it, the design looked so much bigger than other holsters I had tried but it's increasingly concealable (and tuckable) and has really given all my other holsters a secondary spot. It seems big and it's two clips vs the one you are looking for but it's so light that I have to recommend it. My PJ holster is being worked on at the moment but I've had good luck with them too. I'm 5'6" about 150 and it's amazing how my theis lets my gun disappear. I have a McDaniel ii on the way that will give me a single clip option. I also ordered a set of "Loop" attachments from shtf gear that look like they will work with my theis and match my black belt in a way they will be even less noticable.

I know it's secure but my Remora still worries me if I end up running or jogging between points. How often do I run or jog between points? Not often but the lack of any sort of clip just worries me, I haven't gotten rid of it so I'm not kicking it, it's definitely a holster with it's place to keep it around for.  Also you definitely want to wear an undershirt with it, it's less comfortable than a bodyshield leather, which also isn't as comfortable as wearing a shirt between the holster and body.
