Question on holster for chl

[gkeil961]

hello Everyone,

I am new to CC, and recently just received mine. I am looking for a good CC Holster for my Smith and Wesson SW9VE. I feel it is limited because, the firearm does not have a "Physical" safety. It does have a long trigger pull, which is the safety in there eyes. I am wanting to carry with "one in the chamber" but do not feel 100 percent safe doing so becasue of the fact of it not having a safety.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Just make sure the holster you get covers the trigger guard and is stiff enough to not somehow get caught up in it.

I use a Tagua for my Kahr PM9 and am very happy with it.

I got an IWB tuckable holster from cheaper than dirt for my makarov and i love it. Gun sits low, trigger is covered, and is good size, and very affordable.

Ok, if you are not ready to carry with one in the chamber then what I recommend is to put an a-ZOOM snap cap in the chamber for a few months and carry like that...so you can get used to it and get more confident with your holser and pistol.

on the holster...do not go cheap...get a good holster and a good gun belt they do make a difference. also get a smaller gun man that is a cannon.

welcome to the club and carry every day...and get some good training...go to the range at least 2 times a month to stay current and proficient.

Thanks for the insight, I do go to range very frequently, it is what I do to get away.....lol....i am very familiar with my SW9VE, that is why I prefer to carry it.

First I am a huge advocate of high quality (meaning higher priced) holsters. As you carry on a regular basis you will try various methods of carry and discover what works. I typically suggest that persons who are new to carrying purchase several types of inexpensive leather holsters to try out various methods of carry.

Once you find a method that works. Find a good holster maker and have one made in the style you prefer.

One thing you will need is a new set of belts. Double thickness 1 1/4" wide belts in several colors (match your shoes!) thebeltman.net makes some very nice belts that are very reasonably priced for their quality.

The 9VE was my first gun, if there's a gun that you don't have to worry about carrying one in the chamber....it's the Sigma! It actual DOES have physical internal safeties as the Glock they ripped off. Just no manual ones. I've attached pics of my Sigma in a CBST, Kholster, and Blackhawk Serpa OWB. The Kholster and Blackhawk are actually for my M&P but with the exception of the .45, M&P & Sigma holsters are interchangeable as you can see. Your not getting anywhere near that trigger when carrying. Sigma's average a 12lb trigger pull! Not something to easily engage. And a +1 on the gun belt.

I have the same gun and caliber and I too, have purchased a Blackhawk SERPA holster. I love the retention system on that holster.
I bought the Blackhawk holster for the main purpose of the Defensive Pistol League I'll be joining after June. I have to pick up a good gun belt and two double mag holders and then I'll be ready for the league.

I have been looking at IWB holsters, but haven't settled on one yet.

I am still awaiting for the Sheriff's Department to call me and tell me that my CCW permit is ready for pick up and head to the DOR for my new ID.

I just received my super tuck for my S&W 469 9mm & mini tuck for my ruger lcp and they are awesome. A huge improvement from my uncle mikes iwb. Well worth the money.

You have already been given sound advice, but I just wanted to add another vote for the Crossbreed Supertuck. While the Serpa is an excellent design, an IWB holster makes for better concealment under most conditions and modes of dress. I love my Supertuck, and I wear it daily when off-duty. But, let me tell you of a problem I ran into.

I initially purchased the original Supertuck Deluxe, but it had a tendency to activate the magazine release on my S&W 1911 PD. I have no doubt the good folks at Crossbreed would have done anything in their power to alleviate this situation, but I didn't want to trouble them. I solved the problem by simply removing enough leather to emulate the combat cut design. My next Supertuck will be a combat cut design. Hope this helps out when you place your order.
