Re: I just bought a new (used) Kahr PM9

The holster was $75.00, and they had the left handed one in stock. They are made by Mitch Rosen, and are from their "Express" line. The G&G single magazine carrier was $28.00 and also in stock.

I included several objects to give a sense of scale. First, the gun itself is tiny and flat. Anyone who has held one for the first time has probably been surprised that a functioning, well-made, 9mm pistol could be made so small for prices well under the cost of a Rorbaugh.

The cellphone is a HTC Incredible. The knife is a CRKT M21-14DSFG, and is 5.25" long when closed. The other object is my TDL/CHL holder, which is barely larger than a credit card. Hopefully this will help to convey how diminutive the whole gun/holster/magazine/carrier package is. I strapped this thing on a little while ago, and it really is nearly invisible. It does not print at all. Not even a tiny bit.

The holster is very well made. Being from the "Express" line, it doesn't have all the tiny little touches of a custom made holster, but the lines are clean, the stitching is straight, the finish has no blemishes, the boning is well done, and it fits the gun well. There is no retention device, but retention is very good none-the-less and is accomplished by a very good fit, with good indenting in the trigger area. The color is alleged to be "Havana Brown." Here is a picture of the color from the website:

As you can see, the holster I received is considerably darker than the one portrayed on their site. It is still a good color, but it is a tad darker than I had hoped for.

The magazine carrier is tiny also. It was available in tan or black. I went for tan. It has an adjustment screw to adjust the retention. It is fairly well made with a distinct "mass produced" feel to it.

Both the holster and mag carrier are made to fit 1-1/2" belts. I am pretty happy with my purchase. AustinRealtor was kind enough to give me a left over Desantis Nemesis (the newer style) for pocket carry, and that works real well, but this holster gives me an additional option. I would recommend this holster to anyone who wanted a well made holster for a PM/MK/CM9, who doesn't have to have something custom made. And for you lefties, they actually have them in stock.
It looks like you're all set to leave the house in comfort and style with a capable defense pistol in a serious caliber but in a configuration that won't hurt your back when you lug it around all day.

I'd say you've got a winner!

Re: I just bought a new (used) Kahr PM9

The K5 kydex pocket holster from Fist is much thinner than leather, and the thumb ledge makes for positive separation of the gun from the holster while still in the pocket with no struggling, catching, etc.

It's my favorite for this application.

The photos in the link do a good job of showing just how thin it is. It completely conceals the profile of the gun and is very comfortable to carry. It is also completely impervious to sweat and requires no break in.

The price is reasonable too at only $6.00 more than the leather one under discussion.
