IWB holster
« on: August 18, 2009, 04:52:29 AM »
I have a Kahr PM9 and currently a Milt Sparks IWB holster. The leather is always tough to draw form. Great holster and comfortable but as I said tough to draw. I am curious about some Kydex IWB, Blade Tech in particular. Anyone have one or any others that I might consider. Thanks.

Try the Crossbreed Supertuck, it's the most comfortable IWB I've tried.

Might there be a problem with the holster?  I have a Milt Sparks Versa-Max 2 and it's great.  It was a little stiff when I first got it but it's well broken-in now.  How long have you had it?  Did you do the break-in that they recommend?

Most IWB holsters will be a little harder on the draw aspect due to the retention of the weapon because of the belt holding the whole package against your body, the holster will wear in with some use, I try to at least remove the weapon a few times a day when I have the chanch just to assure myself it is being held in place and to wear it in.   Jim

I second the Crossbreed Supertuck. I have 2 of them and will buy more as my carry gun collection grows.

Try a Don Hume , its still leather but slick and gives just enough to not hurt like the plastic models

I like the Don Hume too. Inexpensive, functional, and more comfortable than most.

Remember if you wear a size 32 pants, buy some size 34 to make room for you and the gun/holster.  Too tight of a waste band will slow things up.  Also, be careful of Kydex in the pants holsters!  I had one of the first with a Glock 40 S&W.  The Kydex was harder, but that I could live with.  The first time I fired a full Mag and holstered the gun;  I immediatly made my fastes ever draw,  that heat went right through the Kydex to me!!

another vote for the crossbreed. You wont find a more comfortable iwb holster or one easier to draw and reholster.
