Best pocket holster for r9s
« on: December 08, 2007, 01:27:39 PM »
Hi everyone what do you guys think of those stellar pocket holsters I have seen a carbon fiber looking one with an extra mag holder built in. I have also been considering the desantis superfly model basically an upgrade to nemisis.I am looking for something comfortable and something I do not have to wait a long time to get. any input would be great.By the way I am currently using the mini scabbard holster I bought from the rohrbaugh site and it is a great little holster you dont even notice you wearing a gun i wear it on my wild bills gun belt.

Not pocket holster specific but I'm looking for a quick to ship/reasonably priced OWB for my R-9 and saw this

I'm not a huge Kydex fan but it sure looks nice and clean and simple.

Any users?

I've found Kydex to be an excellent choice: very thin but holds its shape very well, grips the firearm reliably without being grippy, water/sweat-proof and damn near indestructible.  It is hard on anodized finishes - you'll see bare metal on edges after a few weeks.  And it sure ain't pretty.  But it's hard to beat for functionality and if you're picking a concealment holster ... why would you care what it looks like?  They are extremely comfortable for long term wear.

FIST (Jim Murnak) makes excellent holsters in both Kydex and leather.  In Kydex, my favorites are K5 (pocket) and K3 (very simple IWB J-hook).

Jason - one thing to keep in mind when picking out a pocket holster.  Speaking from experience ; different holsters and time wise, I know the built in mag carrier seems intriguing, but keep in mind that the extra mag along with the gun in the same pocket really adds weight - which adds to the "sag" factor.  Depending upon what you are wearing, you could have one side of your pants at your knees.
 Even with little guns, that extra loaded mag makes a difference.
Trust me, I've got the extra unused holsters to prove it.

We make the Model C (with extra mag) in Carbon Fiber laminate (as you have seen) and regular Kydex. We also make a Model A (without spare mag) in regular and extra tacky C-10 texture. All of our holsters come with a 30 day satisfaction guarantee.Check them out at:
