    This is a pretty good thread. The dreaded decision on the perfect IWB holster. I just bought my CM9 a couple months ago and have been using the PJ holster. I wanted simplicity and effectiveness. This is a great holster!! Easy on and off. But after wearing holster for a couple hours, my love handles start getting irritated and the holster get uncomfortable. I'm 43 years old and I'm pretty sure i will do everything in my power to keep my weight down about 10 lbs. But then reality....My goal is to always carry, not sometimes. Whats the point? Honestly I could care less about re-holstering unless I'm in a training school. So the N82 picture above looks great. My only concern there is the trigger cover. How has that issue been for you? For the professional model that wont be an issue, but the little added bulkiness might make it a no-deal for me. For the guys who have either model a picture with a t-shirt would be great. Any thoughts or comments about this please.

      I vote for the Remora. Have several holsters for PM9 and I like it the best. Stays put, comfortable and you can put it at any depth or any angle. I don't factor in one handed reholstering. Not a concern for me. I'm not putting the gun away till the fight or situation is over. Have carried concealed since I was 22 during a 41 year career in Law Enforcement. For me it's about using the gun to fight, not as a range queen.

        My favorite holster for my PM 9 is a blade tech eclipse. True it's OWB but the gun so small that an untuck T-shirt hides it. It's comfortable and Faaaaaaaast on the draw.

          Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

          I really wanted to love my N82 Tacical holster I bought... It's not bad, and it is pretty comfy when sitting down. But I just can't get it comfortable when standing/walking. I feel like it doesn't hug my firearm as close to my body as it could. It's the first 'single clip on' holster I've had, as my Kingtuck, for example (for other carry piece) has two clip on spots.

          I'll probably try another holster or two and decide, then sell the others. I definitely want something with a level of kydex so the opening doesn't close or change shape when drawing the firearm.

            If you are set on kydex, gonna be hard to beat a PJ for comfort. But I just wanted to reiterate that an RFT (reinforced top) Remora will not loose it shape or deform once the pistol is drawn, reholstering works fine, the holster never collapses. There is a kydex band in the top 1/3 of the holster that keeps it open. Not trying to sell you on it, just clarifying that it won't close up on you while its IWB w/ no pistol in it.

                I may place an order with N82tactical for the "original", to carry my CM9 (comfortably).

                  I've been off the forum for a little while but noticed this thread and thought I'd give my experience. Here is a post from about a year ago - and over that time, I've come to love the Kusiak even more. Feels like it's not even there.

It had terrible retention (my gun fell out on the floor of the restroom at church and I was sure that everyone in the sanctuary across the hall heard it). Since I carry with one in the pipe, I wanted something more secure. I considered a PJ holster since the reviews are so good but I really wanted leather. I bought a Galco and was unhappy because it hung up on the slide release. Then I saw a leather Kusiak holster on a forum for the S&W Bodyguard 380. The quality looked good and they listed on for the PM9 so I took the plunge. Minutes after ordering, my bride said, "I want one for my gun too!" so I called Pepi Kusiak and he included it in the same box with no additional shipping. I placed the order on Tuesday and received the holsters on the next Monday. He makes the holsters himself and guarantees satisfaction. Price is just $35 or $45 with a built-in mag holder. Here is a link to their site: Kusiak Leather Pictures follow. The last one shows my CM9 with my bride's Bodyguard 380.

                    Just in case some are wondering, the grip on my CM9 is the Lone Wolf Kwik Grip. It is listed as a fit for the Glock 26. Above are a couple of pictures of the grip with my Kusiak holster. The grip feels better to my hand than the Hogue and the cost is about the same (about $10).

                      Very nice pics, and it looks as though the Kusiak holster fits your pistols like a glove.

                      I do prefer a holster that had firm gun support, but yet not too stiff against the body.

                      Yours look very form-fitting to the firearm, and also covers the trigger just enough ..

                        I'm a Foxx Trapp fan. I have one for every CC gun I own. I have owned PJs also. The Foxx has adjustable cant (strong side, AIWB or between), complete trigger coverage, ships quickly and is less expensive.

                              Would love feedback on this holster. I currently use the PJ, but its just not comfortable in the 4oclock position with my body type. Wondering if the n82 original Vs Pro model. How much more bulk is the pro? Any one have this?
