If you could order a Dave Brown Kydex, I'd give that a try. Mine works real well, it is small and packs close to the body.
That being said, I did see the DeSantis first hand made for the R9, I like it, actually I like a paddle holster. The Kydex is smooth inside, the DeSantis has a rough leather inside.
If you need for me to post a picture of Dave's Kydex again, I will do that.
