Does anybody ever carry theirs OWB, and if so, what holster do you use?

I sometimes carry my E9 OWB in a Don Hume. I think I got it at a gun show probably 6 or 7 years ago. I found their website (http://www.donhume.com/index.php?main_p ... cPath=65_5), but don't see my exact holster there.

I've got a Black Widow by Bianchi, that I like quite a lot. I haven't carried it OWB since I got my Galco King Tuk though.
I like not having to worry as much about the shirts I wear.

I had one, but I sold it. Too stiff for me, and as I carried in the front pocket, I thought is was too big and bulky. YMMV.

I daily carry is the Kahr MK9 Elite (all polished stainless version) which has a bit more heft to it. I used to carry OWB with the Fobus paddle holster which was easy to reposition and really held the gun in. Since I have switched to the Crossbreed Supertuck, I hardly ever use the Fobus. With one exception:

If I am going to the tactical range and I am not attempting to conceal, to Fobus is easier and faster. I think I spent $35-$40 bucks on it, and it works.

Also, I put the Trijicon night sights on it and have been very happy with them. Also, upgrade to the stainless steel guide rod ($40) for a wee bit more peace of mind.

I own three Kahr's, and I am biased :)

Have one of those for my LCP + CT laser ... good holster. I ended up ditching the leather anti-print panel (got in the way when trying to draw quickly and actually made for more of a "what is that in your pocket?" bulge). I ended up making a plastic wrap-around anti-print panel from an old orange juice jug that worked very well and allowed for ambidextrous carry without having to move the leather panel to one side or the other.

But I've since replaced this pocket holster with a Mika's, which I much prefer - have one now for LCP, J-frame, and baby Glock ... http://www.frontiernet.net/~akim/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ... his are quite honestly the ugliest and best pocket holsters on the market.

I have this one and it does a great job of hiding the outline of the gun. It looks like a wallet in my pocket and costs less money. I have had it for three years and it works great.

That does look nice, but they don't seem to offer a left handed version, and it doesn't look ambidextrous.

The PM9, (and PM40) have gone a long way towards permanently changing my carry habits. Never before were there such small, high quality, full caliber pistols that could actually fit a pants pocket.

I carry one or the other in a front pants pocket in a Blackhawk #1 pocket holster, or occasionally in a small Tommy's Original Gunpack.

I have on a rare occasion carried the PM40 in the Tommy's, and the PM9 in the pocket. I felt very well-armed.

The problem with them is that they make my full-sized pistols, which I used to love, feel absolutely HUGE and cumbersome.

Yes, it is abidextrous. The flat flap is attached by velcro so can be put on either side of the holster and can also be moved higher or lower for the best concealment.

Looooong but smoooooth trigger pull and long trigger reset, very similar to old S&W revolvers. Be advised tho that if not in a very snug carrier, top cartridge in spare magazines can have a nasty habit of creeping forward.
