    I'm just going to try using my old, worn Smartcarry like the ActiveProGear unit.
    It's not for everyone, but I've carried with it for over 10 years.

    (sending mine back...it's just not working for me)

    Wore the SmartCarry out to dinner tonight, and so far so good.

    Just pulled it up across my chest. Not too tight, but tight enough.

    For cooler, "undershirt" weather this just might work.

    Bought a couple long sleeve, cool weather shirts by Woolrich with the fake button magnets. Easy access to a shoulder holster.

    Carrying the Colt CCO IWB now, too.

    CM9's a BUG

      Can't go wrong with Remora. I use mine against skin a lot...especially during two months of yr in Florida. Try one.

        I wore my Remora here in Vegas most of the summer. With a G26 12+1 or a K9 7+1. Shorts, jeans, dress pants, the magic sticky holster stayed put the whole day. Very impressed.

        Worked great and I was a skeptic, but for the price, I figure what the hey!

          Galco makes a leather IWB holster that is very simple and non-bulky...

          One model comes with a thumbbreak... if you don't like it, just trim it off. The other model comes with a reinforced opening so you can reholster.

          On the left is the 'waistband IWB' as delivered w/my CW9, the right one was the 'waistband IWB' I modded to fit my Colt Gov't .380 by cutting off the thumbbreak. It stretched enough that I was able to use it for the CW9 when it replaced the Colt. My daughter's puppy further modified it as shown... and is the reason it was replaced.

              These have always been inexpensive, quality IWB holsters:

                  IMO, that is a ripoff. You can buy a fully assembled holster just like that for that price.
                  Very interesting...

                      I have one of these: DeSantis Pro Stealth Ambidextrous Style N87....fits the CW9 pretty well...not sure on comfort because I don't carry yet....waiting on the permit.

                        I have started using an Uncle Mikes holster too as of late. It's easy on, easy off! Just keep your belt snug to keep retention.

                          Uncle Mike's. I think I paid like $12 bucks for one for my Glock 19.
