needed : YOUR MK9 HOLSTER REVIEW

[BULLSTONE]

I am now looking for a IWB Holster for my MK9 and am inviting fellow MK9 owners to highlight their choice of holsters and review the plus and minus's of what they have. Kahr has about a dozen on there website and it would be interesting to read a real user review. I hope this thread is within the rules of this forum.

Thanks Bullstone

This is what I use for my MK9. It also fits the PM9 and Cm9
Kydex outside with leather inside. The gun fits into this holster like a glove and has great retension.

One on the left is some cheap $19 I got off a guy that makes them at a gun show, LOVE IT, dont even know it's there, does NOT draw fast.

One on right is a Stoner Holster, felt thick, big and never liked it, sold to fellow member here.

Cross Breed Super Tuck (with CM9 in it) LOVE IT, light, carries really well but limited to 3-5 o'clock, draws VERY fast.

I really like the Silent Thunder. I used one for my PM45 with the laser. I now took the laser off and it still works but not perfect. I need to get another.

Nice quality and great folks to deal with.

I purchased the Mitch Rosen Clipper CLP, I have been very happy with it.

As Ikeo said, this is a very nice holster. My only complaint is that it doesn't seem as stable as I would like. I have the Solo from Garrett on order and hope to give some type of review soon.

Here's my IWB From Tim Thurman at TTGunleather:

It's ostrich leather, and a reinforced lip to keep it open for reholstering. Fantastic fit, and looks great in my jeans. I have three others for an FNP .45, a P99, and a PPS - two are black, and one is brown.

This is the holster I just purchased Saturday at a gunshow. I just may throw away all other holsters I own. I can use this holster with every gun I carry.

I used it Sat and Sun and love it.

Nothing fancy...........I use a Desantis front pocket carry.................too heavy? Not for me.........................works fine.

[Cyterio]

+1 on the Crossbreed Holster. I've had mine for about 3 years now and can't say anything bad about it. Carries the MK9 very nice, just get yourself a good belt.

I am in the process of getting a Cleveland holster.............like a crossbreed, half the cost, 400 different cant positions, brass fittings.........lots of adjustments.

[Rangemeister]

cooksholsters.com has some great kydex IWB for your MK9, I have a Cook's for my three Kahrs and a Shield.

[JimBianchi]

I have holster by Don Hume, Remora, ComTac and CrossBreed for my MK9 and K9.

Only the CrossBreed SuperTuck and Remora "No Clip" get worn.

If I had to pick one, the CBST because it is all day comfortable, easy to use the restroom with it on and I have never been made wearing it.

The Remora is great if you have to take your gun off and on frequently. It never has to leave the holster and it very easy to take on and off, it stays against your skin like a champ and even in hot, sweaty very active Las Vegas has never slid or moved on me. (But I have to pocket it when using the restroom. and if you don't put it on correctly, it "feels" wrong, even though it has never moved or fell, I have to push it in a certain distance that is not always repeatable because there is no clip to stop it from going any further.)

I use the summer carry from high noon holsters for over 6 years for my MK9 BUG. Been browsing thru for a new holster but haven't decided yet.

[DocJohn]

I've had this UBG iwb holster for over 6 months now (see thread below) and I am very pleased with it. Fit is outstanding. It was initially very tight but is now perfect IMO after a few days of blocking with 2 layers of plastic bags over my MK9. IMO it's a great holster at this price level.

I have used the Bianchi Professional 100 for my MK9's and K40. Also a Taurus snubby and a PPK. I really like these holster. Simple, well built, smell good and the steel clip is wide, strong, grabs the belt tight and is darn near perfect. I had a Don Hume for the CM9 years ago and the clip was too weak. I sat in my old Dodge facing out the door and snagged the clip on the steering wheel and bent the clip, making the small and weak clip useless. A buddy of mine has a crossbreed for his XDS. It seems like overkill for such a small pistol. The holster seems to complicate the compactness of the gun.
I really recommend this holster. It's on Optics Planet for a good price. I also have a tuckable Galco with the plastic "J" clip. Even cheaper and not bad at all.

I brought this important topic back to the top of the list by not paying attention to the date it was posted...

I have a custom TT rig for my MK9. I liked it so much I had him make one for my 1911. My XD9sc is in one of his Uncle Mike's IWBs.

The beauty of the MK9 and 1911 style is that I can wear them IWB or OWB...hence the "custom" part...not to mention the "ultra-custom Bawanna grips" too!!!:D

I have been wearing a "mikes special" from tt gunleather for about 16 months now. It is a holster of great quality. It is slightly bulkier in the pants than the crossbreed supertuck, but it is still very comfortable. All you need is a sturdy belt and you won't notice it. I highly recommend tt gunleather and also crossbreed. Both are great IWB holsters. I wear the tt most of the time because i enjoy the all leather construction. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/08/29/u2eqader.jpg

That's good lookin'. Welcome! Did I read that right? Join date 2010 and your first post? About time! ;)

Reminds me of the story about the 15 year old mute kid who had never uttered a word. One morning, in plain english, he said: "These eggs are cold." His flabbergasted parents almost fainted then asked him how he finally came to talk...why now...how long has been able to speak...why didn't he speak sooner? He replied: "The eggs have always been fine."

[PghXD9]

Thanks and Yes its true! I have always used this site for info and light reading. More recently I got a phone that makes posting a whole lot easier, so here I am.

Great. Look forward to your input.

Bought a Galco JAK slide holster at a shop in Austin about 2 years ago to fit my MK9. Fits between the belt and the outside of the pants so you don't have a "bulge" IWB but the gun stays tucked in tight and close. Snug the belt up a bit and good to go.

The same holster fits my CW9 and CW40 (been wearing the CW40 all day). Dang thing also fits my Colt Commanders and full size 1911s. I'm a new user here so can't post attachments or pictures so here's a link:
