Just so you know, Kevin at K&D does various cuts on the holster depending upon what you want.  Here is what my holster looks like -- this is a unfinished undyed photo to show the leather more clearly.

Just an FYI - I got my 2 in 1 from K&D for my R9 a couple of weeks ago, and I couldn't be happier with it.  It's a nice little package, keeps the pistol just where you want it when you reach for it.  K-Man does great work. :D

I own more than 50 products made by Ron Graham. As to front pocket holsters, I tend to prefer the Twin Peaks.

GeorgeH,

Why do you prefer the "Twin Peaks" holster?  Is it that it draws faster??  Prints less??

Hi Arizona:

Historically, I had bad luck with front pocket holsters. What would happen is that overtime the gun would twist in my pocket stretching out the holster. I would go through a holster once ever 6 months.

Ron's Twin Peaks design was the first that really worked for me. It kept the gun in the correct position, and the twin hooks, left the gun in the pocket when it was drawn.

I have never had a print-thru problem with front pocket holsters, when standing or walking.

Everyone is different. Holsters, like guns, tools. You need to pick the right one for the job.

I doubt you will be able to find a better quality holster than those made by Ron Graham.

This is the LE .....for wide pockets

This is the body side, other side is near flat,  Top band [Thumb push off] does not go around to other side.  [to minimize thickness]

Here is the High Cut *MERLIN*,  My favorite..
It is hard to beat for comfort and concealment.  [Shown here with a Seecamp]

I posted this a few months ago. I love this holster RJ made for my Seecamp.  There is absolutely nothing I would change.  The higher cut works out great.  If I need cheered up I sometimes take it out of the pocket and look at it.
