Good Paddle Holster?

[KatesDad]

Im looking for a good paddle holster. I looking to spend up to $100. Maybe a little more for something nice. Trying to find one that fits as close to the body as possible. Prefer leather , but Kydex would be ok.
Any suggestions ?

Safariland ALS holsters are excellent and come in all types of materials and finishes. Check them out on their sight then look for better prices on Amazon, optics planet or eBay.

What model firearm are you holstering? Just asking because some models are hard to find accessories for.

Its going to be a Kahr CM9, once it is finally running correctly.

There's a million more manufacturers out there.

I only have experience with a Blade Tech IWB though.

He's going to have to pay for that.
Not all holsters are created equal. I agree though, paddle holsters wouldn't be my first choice.

True, any paddle holster from Safariland will out perform that. You just don't see many people using paddles holsters anymore. I'd take many, many other belt holsters over a paddle.

It would take a lot more then that to get a quality paddle holster to break. I'm not even sure if that can be don't to a ALS holster. It take a lot of effort just to get the damn think on. The good think is the paddle can be removed and there several other options for belt attachments.


I went with the ALS because I wanted at least a level 1 retention system for open carry since the practice is relatively new to me. There are some excellent better lookin slimmer OWB options out there espically in the Kydex world but I found none that were at least a level 1.
