Title: Covert Carrier??
Post by: Rich_G on January 31, 2010, 03:05:00 PM: I have just purchased my first R9s last week and I am new to the forum, does anyone have any experiences with the Covert Carrier Grip on an R9s?

I would rather pocket carry in a good holster. Congrats on the new R9s!!!

I’m not too concerned about the trigger guard (DAO is like carrying a revolver) and it looks like they have a universal sleeve that fits over the grip. Like I said I just got this pocket rocket so I don’t have a holster as of yet. Maybe you have some recommendations? Looking for something concealable with shorts and a golf shirt (tucked in) like for on the course, pocket space is usually unavailable.

Or for another option, Jim at Hidden Holsters, makes great holsters as well:

CCW. Is that a holster for each front pocket or two different guns? ;D ;D Or maybe both! :) ;)

lol....For two different guns. My R9s deserve to have their own holster. They are spoiled ;D

Post by: kjtrains on February 01, 2010, 09:48:41 PM: I thought so. Just wanted to check. :) :)

And yes. An R9 deserves some spoiling. I agree! :) :)

Post by: Rich_G on February 01, 2010, 09:58:13 PM: Thanks kjtrains, I have been reading some earlier threads and came across some dialogue about the Covert carrier, (under accessories-oops) seems like there is no personal experience with the product, I will be purchasing that product also (I like the concept) along with a pocket piece from Robert. Looking forward to speaking with him.
Title: Re: Covert Carrier?? update
Post by: Rich_G on February 05, 2010, 09:52:52 PM: Spoke to Robert @ meco, 10 to 12 week lead time :( I will be ordering a front pocket and probably a rear pocket as well. :) As for the Covert Carrier, the replacement grip panel is not available at the moment, so Jim sent me the large and small Universal sleeve. Although it is recommended that the large sleeve fits the R9s I found that after the small sleeve is trimmed it fits like a glove! Have been using it and am satisfied with the concealment, comfort and accessibility. The re-holstering however is a little cumbersome but I attribute that to the rubber sleeve. I can only imagine the replacement grip panel version when available will re-holster smooth.
(still no trigger gaurd)

Post by: kjtrains on February 05, 2010, 10:41:13 PM: Rich. Thanks for the update. You will like Meco holsters, no question.

Post by: Aglifter on February 08, 2010, 12:16:57 PM: Is there a benefit to the cover carrier over a clipdraw? I would think it would be easier to draw w. a clip on the slide instead of the grip. (Admittedly, the only thing I've use a clip draw on is my 329NG, but it works well on it.)

Post by: slashsplat on February 12, 2010, 01:31:50 PM: Sorry to be late to the party. I tried the CC and not had good luck. They were very nice, but were unable to provide a grip panel that was EXACTLY the right cut. The cutout for the trigger spring was not quite right. They graciously sent me a second one to try and it did not fit right. They wound up refunding me, and provided excellent customer service.

I was not thrilled with the position of the R9 using the clip anyway, and have gone with alternative holsters.
