Good IWB holster for CM9?

[pbagley]

My Shepherd Leather micro IWB holster

Good price, and you can get J clips for $5 extra.

Mr.Timmy, how is the comfort? Does yours have the optional horsehide or suede back?

I did not get the optional backing as far as comfort its great i dont care for the one clip holsters like the N82 as i find the 2 clip iwb holster distribute the weight of the pistol evenly i can hardley tell its there

I have the N82 original and, honestly, I can't imagine a more comfortable holster. Not sure on the pro model (bulk, etc) as I don't know anyone who has the pro.

The two Nates have done a great job in researching and developing this holster. I can wear it all day and absolutely anywhere without noticing a thing.

Alright, just an update guys.

I like the N82 Tactical, but not nearly as much as I hoped I would. It's comfortable when I put it in the right spot, but the right spot for comfort isn't the right spot for concealment on me.

At the 2 o'clock position, it sits tight to the body and conceals with ease. But I can't sit down comfortably. At the 3-4 position, I can sit down with comfort and ease but it's not sitting up against my body as best as it could or should, thus bulges a bit. At the 5 o'clock position it's comfortable, but I don't like having my gun behind my back.

It'd be perfect if it had two clips instead of one, and was widened to accommodate that. That way I can play at my 3o'clock position and be fine.

Will order an alternative and see how that goes.

Hey all,

As an update to my PM9 with Crimson Trace SHTF ACE-2 IWB holster, I really like it.

HOWEVER, I do wonder about my PM9's fitment in the holster. What do you guys think about this? The gun fits in pretty tight in the holster, even if the holster is twisted the OTHER way (as in, the opposite of the contours of your body). It works fine, but... I do wonder.... To me it looks like the curve around the top of the slide is occurring a little too early. Or, maybe this is normal and it has to be this way to hold the PM9 in at all?

Any thoughts about this?

[walkbyfaith]

It definitely looks like it's off on that curve. I would send a pic to SHTF.

I have a SHTF holster for my Glock 27 and love it. As an added bonus my Glock 30S also fits it as well. I have been considering getting a SHTF for my CM9 but I'm concerned it may be a little too much holster for a pistol the size of a CM9. Would you mind taking a few measurements for me? Maybe the total length and height of the leather?

I bet if you send a pic to SHTF they will get back with you. They seem to be a stand up company.

I would love to help you but I can't. I already sent it back!

I emailed SHTF last night at 11:15pm PST. 8 minutes later, Clay at SHTF wrote back. We had a back and forth in basically real-time via email late into the night. He got a couple of pictures from me last night. He then called me first thing this morning, sent me out a return label within minutes, and he's going to have a new holster made up for me once they figure out what happened here.

I have never, EVER experienced such amazing customer service. Quite honestly, the fact that this happens only gives me more faith in the company. Really excellent.

I don't know if my holster is a unique issue or if all the PM9+CT holsters are like this, but either way, I feel confident SHTF will take care of it. I really like the holster a lot otherwise, so I'll be glad to get one with that 100% fit.

In terms of size it's really not very big on me at all. Bear in mind I'm 6'5", and these things are always quite subjective, but the holster feels "right" for how small the PM9 is. It's certainly a quality product (my issue notwithstanding, of course!). The Kydex is VERY smooth around those front/rear edges, showing good care was put into it.

You should get a rough idea of size by comparison to the PM9 itself in the holster in my pictures, or when I get a new holster back from SHTF I'll post up the measurements...

That is great customer service. I really like mine and may very well order one for the CM9.

I posted a thread on another forum a couple weeks back stating how surprised I was at learning my G30s would fit in my G27 SHTF holster. However, I was concerned the 30S might stretch the holster too much since it was designed for the 27. Clay responded that I shouldn't be too concerned about it stretching. He said it might loosen it just a bit but once I tightened my belt the retention would be fine.

Clay has been super helpful and super nice throughout my whole ordeal, and no doubt he knows his stuff. Honestly, any company can sell you something. The differentiator between the good companies and bad companies is how they treat you after the fact. Despite having an unfortunately borked holster, so far I completely recommend SHTF based on my experience with them after the purchase.

The holster for the CM9/PM9 really is pretty diminutive, all things considered. When I get my replacement, I'll throw up some actual measurements for you.

[WilliamG]

OK so Clay messaged me again several times yesterday. His molds match the case. Has anything changed with the Crimson Trace design over the last few years at all? I hadn't thought it had... I know the PM9 got a tad longer in the slide but that was it. Just trying to help him/myself as much as possible, because this is just weird.

Is it possible just nobody has noticed this issue till now?

[Allen]

Seeing pictures of the Remora holster, since it has no clips does the IWB model just slip in between your body and pants and stays there without any attachments? Also, in the summer with no undershirt how does it feel riding right against your body? I need something very comfortable for my CM9 to wear IWB in the 4-5 o'clock area.

[Sheepdog689]

My N82 professional model came in yesterday. It took a couple tries to find the right position, which ended up right about about 4 o'clock. With a standard 6 round mag the CM9 conceals very nicely and rides comfortably when I sit down.

I tried 5 o'clock but that was too far back, 3 o'clock was not as comfortable as 4 o'clock. With my Wrangler jeans, the 4 o'clock position puts the clip right on top of a belt loop so it's easy to remember where to set the holster.
