Pocket Holster Recommendations

[xb12s]

I have a Desantis Nemesis Superfly. It's okay but it seems like some of the stickiness is not as great as it once was. The holster came out with the gun a couple of times the other day while doing some drills. I just ordered an Alabama Holster kydex pocket holster. Hickok45 on Youtube is a fan of those as well (and I respect his opinion a lot).

I used to use desantis for all my pocket guns , but since being introduced to "stickys" -- I now use a Sticky for ALL my guns. They are perfect for IWB/Pocket. They are like a remora (same concept) , but do the job much better. I've had many expensive holsters befeore and the sticky is truly a work of art. The remoras are fine but the sticky took the clip less iwb/pc to a new level. No printing with my CM9 , the Nemesis printed very VERY obviosley. I got lucky and found out about stickys because my LGS sells them , and they cost $20 ! Not bad for a holster so versatile and comfortable !

Looks excellent. I just ordered one for my CM9, and I'm curious to see whether it replaces my Galco paddle holster and deSantis SuperFly. Thanks for the heads-up!

I have Remora, PJ and MTAC for my CM9s. Of the 3, my favorite is the Remora, but I may get a Sticky to try it. It is just very versitile and does not move. Unlike many on the forum, I really am not impressed with the PJ, but I think it is because I got the J-hook with velcro. It just seems to tug on my belt too much. Might have a different opinion if I would have gone over the belt. The MTAC is awesome too, but it is a bigger rig. The Remora (or Sticky) can go in pocket or IWB without a belt.

I'd definitely recommend the $20 investment. (from what I know) the owners of remora and sticky are not on good terms and used to be affiliated in some way ...

I could care less who makes what , but I sold my Remora on glocktalk after one use. Although it is "fancier" -- the Sticky is truly a perfected version of what the Remora is.

The material on the sticky is interesting , I don't know what it is . I didn't really expect much from a $20 holster but now I purchase one for all my guns. You won't be dissapointed.

Let us know ! I think the whole clip less iwb / pocket / whatever buisness is going to grow -- as I said I've had many $100+ holsters and nothing is as comfortable as that sticky !

I'd also like to add that (for some reason I don't have a signature on this board) I carry that smith appendix iwb in the sticky , and it has a 2.5lb APEX Competition AEK kit -- so trust me when I say the sticky is a winner. I like crossbreed holsters but (for me) they are just too much of a rig. They distribute weight great , but it's still a rig. With the remora/sticky , it's proven that you don't need to spend $100 and wait months for something that's perfect for the job.

I use a Recluse holster for pocket carry and love it. To be honest, it is great in jeans but when I switch to cargo shorts during the summer, the gun hangs lower in the large pocket and seems heavy. I ususally switch to an IWB for carry with shorts.

Stays-Put Ultra Pocket Holster

Guys, I have recently found a brand of pocket holsters that I really like: The Stays-Put Ultra by Cocealment Specialties. They have many models to fit different guns correctly. Designed by a fashion designer! Made out of microfiber with nylon inside for a smooth draw. Only $14.95 shipped. I first got one for my J-frame and was very impressed! It stays put when drawing the gun better than any pocket holster I have ever tried, and it does a great job of disguising the appearance of a gun. Also, extremely comfortable. I got one for my Taurus TCP 380, and I prefer it over the Desantis Nemesis and PJ kydex pocket holster that I also bought for the gun.

Now, here is even greater news about these well designed $15 holsters: they work absolutely great as AIWB holsters! I can carry either the J-frame or the TCP perfectly comfortably all day long inside my waistband at about 10:30 (yes, I'm a lefty ), riding low with a backward cant that sits the grip down parallel to my belt where my middle aged spread expands above it, hiding it under an untucked shirt or T-shirt. I use my thick, 1 1/2" Amish belt at normal snugness and the holster and gun will stay there all day without moving around. I love drawing from that forward location! The backward cant aids the draw. (You can see how by moving your hand to the AIWB position as if drawing a gun and seeing how your hand wants to move.) The backward cant and the smooth, rounded shape of the holster keeps it from jamming against my leg when I am seated, and thusly contributes to the perfect all day comfort! And get this! Unlike a pocket holster, it is lightning quick and every bit as easy to draw your gun when seated! In fact, it even works for us lefties when buckled into the driver's seat of our vehicles. Sorry, the shoulder strap will intefere for righties. Of course, it will work if you're riding shotgun!

I use Recluses with my Kel-Tec P3-AT and Ruger LCP, and I think they are great. However, the CM9 is getting towards the end of the size/weight spectrum where pocket carry may not be optimal, so I really like the ability to use the Sticky either in pocket or in waistband. That way, I'm not limited to pants of a certain size pocket. I'm really looking forward to trying it out when it arrives.

+1 JFootin could not be happier with my holster from them and at the price it shipped quick and looks functions great!

Guns are safe only when they are:

• In the safe,
• In the gun rug,
• In a holster.

Simple. If the trigger guard isn't covered, the gun isn't safe.


I have the Remora holster for several guns, but IMHO they are too bulky and fit too tight.


My favorite pocket holster is an RKBA - simple, thin, and custom fit to the gun.
