Well the holsters came in from sportsmansguide (item WX2-130956 2 New Czech Leather Shoulder Holsters). The R9 fits perfectly. Tucks in close to my side, suspender hooks for both sides so feels secure. Downside: the elastic is very frayed even though the leather parts seem new. The leather is fairly stiff but I hope will soften and become more flexible as it is worn. I will have to cover the snaps on the inside of the holster to prevent scratches on the gun. Overall a good starting point to modify and at $10 each the price is reasonable. May end up using one as a patern to have a custom holster made.
