Leather Holster for Kahr CW9?

[Evan]

I am looking for an OWB holster for my CW9. I'm not sure if I want a thumb break or not, but I do want leather as it seems to conform to the steel better. Does anyone have a suggestion? Right now I am looking at the Don Hume H721 and H721 OT.

I'm using Galco Jak Slide holsters in Black #JAK212B, & Brown #JAK212 to carry my CW9 & PM9. These are right hand versions. There is no thumb break and I’ve had no retention problems. The fit is snug after initial break-in. These holsters fit between your belt and pants. The end result is your firearm being pulled in closely to your body for easy concealment. The picture in the link below shows the trigger of the firearm being exposed but this is not the case with my two Kahr firearms. Once the holster is broke-in, the trigger is shielded very well.

I ordered the OWB DeSantis Belt Slide Leather holster From Kahr on the 19th of March and i'm still waiting for it to arrive. Kahr's order number is #KABSRH.
The reviews on this holster are favorable. This holster has a thumb break and appears to be just the right size for the CW9.

The Jak Slide looks like it would ride a little too high for me, but the DeSantis looks nice. Let me know how you like it... That is once it arrives.

I will do that.

I love my DeSantis Scabbard with thumb break for my CW9 - super comfortable.

Update

The DeSantis belt slide holster arrived and I have had a chance to use it. As I mentioned before, I purchased this holster for my Kahr CW9 from the Kahr on line store. It took nearly a month to receive.

This is a leather holster which is form fitted for many of the Kahr pistols. It fits my CW9 like a glove. The stitching is attractive and sturdy. The pre-shaped form of the leather for the CW9 is perfect. The belt loops are pre stretched at just the right stress points and the thickness of the leather makes this holster very sturdy. It holds my pistol securely even when the thumb break strap is unsnapped.

This is a good looking holster that is made well and is comfortable to wear. I feel that it is reasonably priced at $45 plus $6 shipping. The holster has (Kahr Arms) stamped into the leather at the rear belt side of it. I like the comfort of this holster and the way it holds my CW9 very close to my body. I would recommend this holster to a friend.

I’m still getting use to the thumb break. I’ve attached a pic of me wearing the holster with my CW9. I really like the way my PM9 looks and feels in this holster also. Concealment is very easy and I forget I’m wearing it most of the time.

I hope this helps any of you who are looking for a quality holster for your Kahr pistols.

Thanks for the review. I'll check one of these out at the SAR show this weekend.
