    My personal favorite leather holster for my Kahrs is my Mitch Rosen Premier.


    It holds tight to the body, is easy on and off and has a good cant for 3-4:00 wear.
    Judging by today's left wing, looks like Senator Joe McCarthy was right after all.

        The best holster I have found for forget-it-is-there comfort 24/7 with my CM9 is the PJ IWB Holster. There are so, so many members here that will concur. Paul is a great guy and a real gun lover, and he performs magic with kydex - making the holster incredibly comfortable to where you can't tell it is there whether sitting, standing or moving about. It is like the mass of the gun disappears, becoming one with your body. I carry mine with a 15° cant just behind my hip - the sweet spot. I prefer the linked one with the over the belt clip. It is available with j-hook, c-hook and velcro attachment method, and tuckable is an option. I have a tuckable one with velcro for if I need total concealment, but normally wear the above under a loose shirt.
        Very interesting...

          I wear the deep concealment by Frontline. It can be worn in or out of the wb and is very tuckable. Use it with my T9 daily. Only has the leather belt loops and some would say that is a negative, however, I have never had anyone even ask me about the two leather loops on my belt. I am sure there are other good ones out there, but I got lucky the first time. I cannot imagine anything else being more comfortable as I seldom even notice I have it on.

              As usual, I have to chime in and suggest Remora.

                I can't speak to the OWB holsters because I either pocket carry my CM9 in an Uncle Mikes holster or carry IWB at about 1:00 with a t-shirt to cover. 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 another forum. The quality looked good and they listed one for the PM9 so I took the plunge. I placed the order on Tuesday and received the holster on the next Monday. The quality is outstanding - what I would expect from a much more expensive custom holster. Pepe Kusiak 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.

                  I like the Mitch Rosen, but DAMN it is EXPENSIVE! The Remora line looks great too, but I don't see one made for the CW9. The PJ looks great for IWB. I really appreciate the replies everybody! I'm still trying to decide. I'm on an E-3 budget. lol

                    the remora you want is the one for the 3.5" barrel. The 3c. But you might consider the 3b for 3" barrels. I have a 3c and I personally think my p9 (same as your cw) rides too deep. Personal preference thing. My tp9 rides perfect in the 3c. At some point I will be getting a 3b for my p9 if I start carrying it more again.

                      I like the BlackHawk CQC Holster. At least that's what I think it's called. I'm having trouble finding it online. I bought it in a sporting goods store in Idaho.

                      On the back, it is stamped with:
                      CQC HOLSTERS
                      BLACKHAWK.COM
                      Size 23
                      Kahr K9/K40

                      They didn't have anything that said CM9 on it, and this was nearly a perfect fit. I trimmed the bottom just a hair so the leather did not stick out past the muzzle.
                      It's super easy to attach/detach without unbuckling my belt, and it's very comfortable. It rides fairly high with a good angle. The retention snap is easy to undo with my thumb when drawing. The retention strap is adjustable.

                      My only complaint is that when not wearing an over shirt, it's fairly obvious - but then, it's an OWB so whattaya want?

                        I ordered a Remora, and I got a 3b and a 3c. My brother-in-law has a cw9 as well and he said he would take whichever one I didn't want. I got each one for $20 with a mil discount, so I didn't mind buying both to give them a try anyways. Thanks for introducing me to Remora chrish. I must've watched 15 youtube videos in row. lol

                          Cool. Hope you like it. If you don't, feel free to call me nasty names.

                          Funny about the videos, I did too. I assume you saw the ones of people doing cartwheels and standing on their heads. Should be handy if you ever have to stand on your head before you shoot someone in self defense

                          I'd be curious how the CW size fits in the 3B. I'm thinking I'm gonna order one at some point for my P9 (if I keep the P9), but picts would be helpful if you get the chance.

                            Yeah, those videos were funny. It was nice to see that even doing cartwheels, the holster didn't move though. I will def post some pics when I get them in.
