PM9 Front Pocket Carry

[JFootin]

I hadn't considered that theory, the casual hand on the gun deal but it definitely sounds viable for sure. Pocket carry doens't work for me since sitting and lying down are my only modes but for vertical types it would work. Same as a gun in a coat pocket, can be in your hand and aimed at whatever is making you nervous and they never know.

I apply pretty much the same thinking to my ankle rig. I figure I'll go into the fetal please don't hurt me I'm just a derelict mode which puts the ankle rig in easy reach. With just about any pants other than jeans or unmodigied sweath pants it's pretty quick to access and no longer be a frightened little derelict but a large sheep dog on wheels with big teeth. SURPRISE BAD GUY!

Fodder,

Everyone has your problem when they are seated and buckled up in a car. Try getting a gun out of your pocket then! I still walk some, but use the electric scooter in the grocery store. But I found a solution for when I'm seated. I went to a huge indoors, air conditioned flea market along I-85 north of Atlanta a few years ago, and I found a nice quality, perfectly sized nylon fanny pack for just $3! It has four zippered pockets, a cell phone pocket with Velcro flap to the right of the main body, and an adjustable nylon belt. Out front is a thin little zippered compartment that is perfect for my change purse. The first full size compartment is just thick enough for my wallet. Behind that is a thicker compartment that fits my CM9 perfectly. Finally, there is a wide, flat compartment hidden next to the belt line for large, flat items such as money or checks. With the cell phone pocket to the right, the main body rides a little to the left, positioning it ideally for my left hand draw. The zippers are very high quality and very smooth operating. It is all black in color. It is the best $3 investment I ever made! Packs of this quality start around $20 and go up from there. Talk about accessible and discreet carry, even when buckled in the car? This is it! I'll have to get some pictures made of it.

This pack is SO convenient! You can have your wallet, change purse, check book, a pen, a comb, your cell phone, AND your gun right there in your lap! Shop around and see what you can find. Look at flea markets or dollar stores. The perfect fanny pack will be in the last place you look!

For my CM9, I bought an MD-1 Holster from here: http://stickyholsters.com/

Yeah, that looks just like the Remora holster.

CM9 Pocket Holster

I also use the Uncle Mike's #3. I think the #4 was to large. In order to draw the CM9 I have to grip the pistol and flick the #3 off the Kahr, it works great! I have a 9-mm pistol in my pocket that is just a slightly bigger lump than my P32. Plus with the Kahr trigger I can hit targets from 10 to 60 feet.

#3 works for me. certainly not a fast draw area but my PM9 is with me 24/7, so it is a hell of alot faster than trying to get to my glove box or home to the vanity drawer to grab my K9. I think the key to carrying a PM9 in a desantis in the front pocket is to be aware of the situation and if in doubt insert hand in pocket where gun is at and just be ready. situational awareness is #1.

I just put 150 flawless rounds through my POS PM9 today, a disgusting gun to say the least. Damn thing just goes bang every time, Now if I could only hit what I am aiming at, I might decide to keep this POS

Well since I have not ordered a quality leather or kydex holster for my fairly recently aquired PM9 I bought the Uncle Mike's #4 because it was cheap for right away use and I had read on several forums it was the fit for the PM9.
Even in semi tight jeans the pistol can be drawn without the holster coming out.
But I still would prefer a purposely built quality leather or kydex holster for it.

I have a Nemesis and a Blackhawk #4 for my PM9. Both work pretty well. I also just picked up a Remora but haven't used it yet.
I'm thinking of ordering a Hedley pocket holster. I have Hedley holsters for other guns and they are as good as it gets in terms of leather pocket holsters.
Unfortunately R.J. Hedley is no longer with us but he passed on his skills to his daughter who continues the business.

The Uncle Mikes #3 for my PM9 before I installed the C.T. Laser. Now I use the #4 because with the laser the #3 was just a tad too tight.

Pocket Holster

When I wear shorts or pants and know I will be sitting for any length of time I wear a shirt out and carry in a pancake holster. This works well for the CW9 or CM9. The CM9's shorter grip hides well in a pancake holster. I like to carry in front of the hip, left side! Lefty's have an advantage in a car. Our strong side is not hindered by the seat belt!

Nice to have an advantage in SOMETHING! You can also have your gun easily accessible in your door pocket. It's a little more awkward addressing a threat to your left, though, when buckled in the car. You might have to go ambidextrous and press that weak hand into service.

Don't you hate it, though, when holster sellers act like you don't exist?

PM9 Pocket Carry

Yes I have wanted to buy certain holsters only to find they don't have the model in a left version. That should not be a surprise because left handed people either learn to operate ambidextrous or do without. It doesn't seem to be a big a problem as it use to be.

Uncle Mike's #3 for me too.

My MK40 is nearly identical size to a PM9.
I prefer my DeSantis Super Fly.
The additional flap can move back a little to cover the rear night sights.
And think it eliminates printing.


A less expensive rout is a Nemesis.
Interestingly, I prefer the Nemesis for my S&W 342 ti 38?!?.
Seems like it's easier to access and draw the little revolver
with it's Eagle Secret Service grips.


Selection of holsters, much like the guns we slip in them,
tends to be a very personal choice.

I have been using cheap, cheap nylon w/PM40. Works. Have to replace every 9 to 12 months, seems to get soft and holster comes out with piece in draw.

For pocket carry I use a DeSantis Nemisis. I always carry my spare mag in my support side pocket. It doesn't make sense to have it in the same pocket as the pistol. If you ever need it then you need to switch the pistol to your other hand to get it out. Too much switching things around costs you time and maybe your life.
