HOLSTER PATTERNS FOR AMERICAN MADE KAHR

[Cowboy01]

Does anyone have a belt slide holster pattern, or know where I can obtain one for a KAHR PM9 or CM9 sub compact semi auto. Shot one of these other day and they are phenomenal. The grips are more ergonomically oriented to my hand than any other compact or sub compact I have handled or shot. The recoil is significant but you can get back on target so  much faster than say a S&W Shield. Thanks. You can reach me at chisholms_trail@netscape.com. Alan

Do you have the gun to use as a mold? If so, JLS Leather on the forum has instructions for making your pattern. I've used them and they get the job done.

Thank you I will check that out. I was hoping to borrow or buy a downloadable pattern and avoid the time consuming prototypes. You know - the first is too tight, the second is too loose and the final one is just right. If you are looking for a concealed carry the KAHR PM9 or the more economical CM9 are the best. If you have a good budget you can get the MK9 in solid stainless. These have been tested with over 18,000 rounds and found to be totally reliable. Alan

The instructions by jls are straight forward and simple. I'm using it right now matter of fact. For a bersa firestorm. So thanks to JLS!

Well, yes - I DO know   Hit on just what I wanted the first time doesn't happen all the time, but it does happen.  Instructions are written in a way that if you "figger" a standard "pancake" holster, you can then easily convert that to what some folks call an "avenger", or a simple IWB, or a clip-on, etc..

I really appreciate the input. Thanks guys

I haven't had one of JLS patterns that didn't fit just right first time. Assuming I used the one for the right gun! Using his instructions for a home-made pattern, they always fit, too. After, all, when you wet form, the holster fits right anyway!
