  • Pics of a PJ AIWB holster for PM9

    Appendix inside the waistband (AIWB) holster ordered from pjholster.com. Just got it a few days ago and have been trying it out. It isn't too uncomfortable sitting, although kneeling down can be an issue. AIWB is one of the more concealed types of holsters, and this appealed to me since I'm not old and married and still care about what people think/say about me. Here are some pics of the holster. I'm warning you that there are some pictures of my hairy stomach coming up though.

    Pics of the gun/holster:







    Now here are a couple pictures of me wearing a fairly tight white t-shirt. Darker shirts with a looser fit conceal better, but this shows how well concealed the gun is with a t-shirt on that isn't exactly loose, but isn't form fitting either.



    You'd have to be looking for it to see it.



    Now for some shirtless pics for all you ladies out there. These show where exactly the pistol sits when I carry.



    I have to pull my belt buckle a bit to the side to allow for the pistol to fit between the buckle and my belt loop. PJ also has an option for a notch in the middle of the clip so that it can sit over the belt loop.



    All in all, I couldn't be happier with it. Some people are worried about AIWB carry though, because when you sit, the pistol is basically pointed right at your thigh and possibly your femoral artery. Although with Kahr's long trigger pull, it'd be pretty tough to accidental discharge unless you are just being careless.

    If you decide that AIWB isn't working, Paul will modify the cant for you to wear at 3:30-4:00. It honestly won't show up anymore there than AIWB.

    That notch in the rail is supposed to be there

      I'm glad I sent the children to the other room and didn't experience these graphic photo's.

      It looks good, be nice to straddle the belt loop though.

      Not really an option for me I have to much to love in that general area and sit full time.

      I need to start doing some ab crunches whatever the heck that is.

          Looks like it works pretty well..... I carry that way from time to time but lately I have found I can conceal in the back just as well and its more comfortable to sit. Also when I wear my holster in the front it cuts down on how quickly I can draw my gun as I have to lift my stomach to find the gun.....

            I carry my J-frame AIWB at 10:30 (lefty) in a Stays-Put Ultra pocket holster. There is no clip to worry about, so the cylinder hides behind my left front belt loop. Perfectly comfortable standing or sitting, and great for quick access and draw.

            Bawanna, I have a substantial middle aged spread and I find even my tiny CM9 less comfortable and concealable there. But the J-frame is just superb! The thinness of the frame and barrel below the belt, and not much bulk above the belt make it so. I make it ride deep with a reverse cant so that the grip lays own horizontally just above my belt. My belly expands above it, hiding it under a loose shirt.

            I carry my CM9 in a PJ IWB with FBI cant at 8:30. The comfort and concealment there are absolutely perfect.

              So is the the holster above considered a deep concealment hoslter?? It seems like it rides up fairly high....I have seriously been considering a PJ holster but I'm not sure how I should specify I want it. I usually carry between 3 and 6 and like my gun to sit a little bit deep with access to the handle. Can anyone show me pictures of how they ordered there holster and how it rides? Any help would be appreciated!

                I just have the standard over the belt clip with a 15 degree cant. If you settle on one that drops too low that handle is mighty small and I want to make sure I can get all of it on the drawstroke.

                BTW, I have found that the same holster will carry fine for me IWB also. The cant brings the grip away from my waist more to the center of my body.

                  Next to pocket carry I like AIWB carry. That looks like a holster I could like after moding it to get rid of the shield.

                      You can get the ride height the way you want it by talking to Paul by email.

                        I'm really liking my Remora holsters, particularly the one for my Boberg. It can be placed anywhere, as long as my belt goes across it. With it's short barrel, it's comfortable up front, where I mostly have been carrying it, or around back. No problem adjusting the cant to how you want it. About the only place it prints any at all when standing, is at 3:00, and thats not much.

                          I sent a picture with the description of what I wanted. Paul seemed to appreciate it.

                            AIWB I have two critical needs... with basically the same result as the grip has to be fully exposed for a good grip and draw. If they do that the barrel isn't jabbing me when I sit.

                            From your pics consider if carry was raised almost an inch and what it would do for comfort and draw.
