  • PM9/CM9 pocket carry?

    How many of you carry yours in your pocket? Or do you really need to carry it IWB? I am thinking about getting one, and would like to have the option. I know that I can't pocket carry a Keltec PF9 because it's just a little too big, but I thought the CM9 just might do it. What do you guys say?

    Well I carry my CW9 in an Uncle Mikes #4 pocket holster. Right front. So a PM or CM9 should be even easier!

    Nice handle. You'll probably fit right in here! LOL
    On the internet, the number of posts do not correlate to actual knowledge.
    The notch is supposed to be there as well as the bulge at the front of the frame!

      I carry my cm9 in my uncle mikes pocket holster in my front pocket. I was thinking of getting an IWB holster too at first, but now Im thinking just the pocket holster will be just fine.

        If the PF9 is too large, then the CM9/PM9 probably won't work for you either, IMO. The Kahr is thicker than the KelTec, and from what I've heard, that is one of the biggest issues regarding comfort for pocket carry.

        Having said that, I love my PM9 and bought it specifically to do pocket carry. It works great for me, and there are a bunch of super pocket holsters for it (DeSantis Nemisis and Superfly, Remora, Recluse, etc.).

        BTW, I bought a PF9 and did pocket carry it for a while before I admitted to myself that I had made a mistake. I absolutely HATE the trigger on the KelTec. So once I was ready to move on, I thought I'd jump on the Kimber Solo bandwagon. Well, for one thing they are (still) almost impossible to get. There's people bidding $850-900 on Gunbroker for one even today (MSRP is like $750)...check it out. The Solo is also a new launch, so problems are to be expected. So I decided to go with the PM9 and have never looked back. Best decision I have ever made, regarding firearms anyway.

          Most of the time my PM9 is in my left front pocket (I'm left handed) with either a #3 or #4 Uncle Mikes pocket holster. They're really not that much different in size. Sometimes it's on my ankle nestled in a Galco Ankle Glove.

            I pocket carry my PM9 all the time...only way I carry. It's comfortable and much of the time I don't even know it's there. I carry it in a home-made leather pocket holster similar to the one at pocketholster.com. Great carry pistol!

              I pocket carry my CM9 but just had these built today as other options. The IWB holster is very comfortable.

                When I pocket carry my PM9,I do it in a size 3 Blackhawk. Very comfortable and smooth looking.Stays in the pocket when you pull the gun.When I carry the PM9 IWB,it`s in a Crossbreed minituck.Also very comfortable and conceals like a breeze.
                In the area in which I now reside,when I`m placed in a group of four or five guys,I`m known as "the smart one".God help me.

                  I've found that any handgun over 15 oz pulls my pants down and just seems too heavy. With lightweight shorts I'll lower that to 10 oz. which leaves only the small .32 and .380s to chose from. If you can find one thats works (mine jams and the rear sight fell off) the P380 would be great.

                    Hello

                    The CM and or PM are just to thick and heavy for me. Most of the time. Yes, like in cargo pants pockets. But need to wear a belt due to sag. The true pocket pistol in my vast arsenol (Glock 19,CW-40,Keltec P3AT) Is the tiny 380. I did own a PM9 at one time.

                      The CW9 was too big for my pocket but the PM9 does fine once I got used to it. I prefer it carry it in my Silent Thunder IWB, but working in the yard in little or no shirt I pocket carry it in a Nemesis.

                        I picked up a CW9 and chopped it down to a "Covert", specificly for pocket carry. Works like a charm, it's more about grip length than thickness or barrel lenght for me. I also pretty much always have a pair of Carrharts on too, they have huge pockets.

                          CM9 pocket carry

                          I carry my CM9 every day in either a Trace Tarco leather pocket holster that is good for front or hip pocket or in a recently purchased Sticky Holster that is good for pocket or just shoving into the waistband with no clips needed. They both work well.

                            Is HERE where you got it? Seems like a good price. Does it work like they say, with the split in the top allowing quick access to the grip, and pocket retention during the draw?
                            Very interesting...

                              Yes that's it. Mine's for right hand. It's pretty stiff and tight when new, but softens up as you use it. I wrapped my CM9 in wax paper and left it in the holster overnight. That helped a lot. It is too wide for some of my back pockets, so I carry it mostly in the front. The back part (with the split) does a good job of masking the print.
