IWB holster recommendations

[OldLincoln]

I do not have one. I have looked into them and they are about 1/4" thinner but are a little less stable as the weight is canted out from the clip a little. Ron says it's mainly for appendix carry to make the clip location more comfortable when sitting.

I was told by them not to get the slim for my daily needs.

Thanks guys! These all look awesome!

The silent thunder looks very nice and tuckable. It doesn't need to be tuckable, but that would be an awesome extra feature and may justify the higher price. The leather lining is also appealing.

I also like the PJ behind the belt J hook and it's less than half the price. It looks slightly lower profile than the silent thunder. Clearly not tuckable though.

Hmmm....

He will make it tuckable for you at the same price.

Hold off your decision for a few days. They have a new tuckable thin model called the Fusion almost ready to go.

Hmmm, I wonder what the tuckable PJ would look like and if it would still be low profile.

It looks just like the regular one except the clip is part of a separate strip of Kydex that is screwed and glued to the front of the holster, with a gap between them where your shirt tucks in. It is still low profile, slightly thicker there but still much less bulky than the Silent Thunder.

FYI, all the ST holsters are tuckable. Shirt goes between the belt clip and pants.

This is the Fusion which is currently for the 1911 but Kahrs are coming out before long.



Note that it's very compact yet provides a wide enough body for the larger guns. I'm proud of them for doing this as it fills a need for those bigger pieces to spread on the belt. For the PM/CM line though I doubt it's necessary as the single clip is terrific.

Oh, as all their holsters, this is very tuckable as the shirt slips between the holster body all the way down to the clip/belt loop attachment near the bottom.

So you feel like the PJ is less bulky than the silent thunder? It's hard to tell from the pics.

yes it is... hands down, just not tuckable

[bonjorno2]

none of mine are tuckable, but like my good friend said he can make em that way....

I like leather holsters. A couple of pictures of mine with pm45.

The PJ Kydex holster I mentioned fits my CM9 with not an extra millimeter in any direction. Easy on and off with the over-the-belt Kydex clip, secure with adjustable click-in, click-out retention, and it is the only holster I have that makes my CM9 vanish from my consciousness when wearing it! I don't feel the weight (or mass) of the gun there at all, even when moving around; it sort of becomes part of my body. One might expect this level of comfort with a P380 or LCP, but it is exceptional with a loaded CM9 weighing over 20 oz. I believe you will find this is all you need for belt carry. For practical, everyday, all day long carry, the PJ holster can't be beat!

J,
What size belt width will it fit?
