As the weather begins to warm I've been thinking towards the hot and humid summer days to come and what will conceal easily.
I've been putting a lot of thought into a slim compact, quality carry gun and Kahr looks like the solution. (I've done lots of fondling and some shooting at the range/shop)
I'm looking to pick one up very soon so I can put 1K rounds through it before summer and feel confident for carry.

So- Any suggestions on IWB holsters are welcome. I'm leather over Kydex, but open minded. Are the pocket holsters realistically effective(I wear jeans most days)Also, any IWB mag carriers for the Kahr?
Thanks in advance from a die-hard full size 1911 carrier that is crossing into new territory.

I used to carry a custom Kahr K40 and custom E9. I used a Milt Sparks Mirage belt slide most of the time. After work and on weekends I mostly used a Milt Sparks Sunmmer Special. I also have Rosen and Alessi holsters for my Kahrs. All of these holster will work for you.

If you ask why I no longer carry the Kahrs? In Michigan you have to leave a handgun in your car a lot due to the CCW laws. Yes, I have a safe but if the car is stolen I would rather lose a $250 Bersa Thunder 45 than an $800 Kahr.
Further, the Bersa is reliable, accurate, compact, and fairly light.

Regards,

Richard :D

I really like my Blade-Tec Ultimate concealment holster from Outdoor Specialties.

$55.00 and it has held up great even in the cold of ND. I carry a Kahr PM9 daily and it is very comfortable in the car. I like how thin the holster is and it is tuckable which I need for work.I have a leather Galco that I don't use anymore. My partner has a C-tac and that is really nice as well.

For the money, I think the belt slide from Brownells and DeSantis pocket holsters are the best buys.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm still torn between a Kimber and a Kahr for my final summer gun decision.
Guess I'll just have to do some more comparative shooting and fondling
