New Guy Question
« on: March 14, 2013, 12:10:55 PM »
For those of you that carry IWB, what holster do you recommend?  I want something that is thin.  I thought this one below looked interesting?

Also, is there a place on the internet that has Gold Dot's in stock?

Thanks,

W-

I had a leather one with a clip just like that, it wore a hole in every shirt I had.  Took it apart and turned it into a pocket holster after I found a hole in my cashmere sweater.
There are better choices out there.

In my eyes, the photograph in that link showing the holstered pistol riding IWB at the SOB position has "spinal injury" written all over it.

To buy ammo you need to travel back in time to before the election...

As of this morning, Lucky Gunner shows 9 boxes (50-rounds per box) of 147-grain 9mm Remington Golden Sabers in stock for $50.00 a box.  I've used this round in my R9 with good results before dropping down to a 124-grain load to achieve commonality with my HK P7.  (The latter's gas-retarded recoil system was designed around the 115/124-grain NATO ammunition.)

Get 'em while they last.

Well, that didn't take long. It's thirty minutes later and LG now shows no 9mm in stock.

Galco STOW-N-GO INSIDE THE PANT HOLSTER that is actually designed for Keltec P11. Carried at 4 o'clock. Never wear a firearm on your spine. If someone assaults you frontally or you stumble you risk spinal injury. Remember when folks recommended 9mm firearms because ammo would always be available. HA!  ;D

Thanks guys!  Maria at the company told me to stick with 115 or 124 grain.  She said the 147 grain are rough on the gun.

Remington Golden Sabres don't work too well in my R9.

2 out 7 failed to fire, and I found this video on YouTube of an LC9 owner who was having trouble with the sabres too.

I use Golden Sabre Bonded in 40 caliber HK and Sig's.   I don't care for them in 9mm.   I have found in 9mm and the Rohrbaugh in particular the 147 grain gold dots deliver the best accuracy and performance.    I do use other 9mm in Sigs and HKs.

I'm liking this. Just got it. Cheap and using it currently for front pocket carry. Works in jeans great. I like the idea that with the clip off I could carry it in either pocket if I want. When at work should I want to I could pocket carry on my weak side and carry my main weapon on my right hip. Or just throw the clip on using the hex key and carry it IWB at 430o'clock behind my main weapon. Basically this cheap little holster gives many options of carrying my rohrbaugh (since I want to carry it all the time) at a ridiculously low price. Anyone who considers this a fair price has never bought other rohrbaugh holsters :)

Renrew, if you don't want a chest of drawers full of unused holsters, do it right the first time.  Stay away from nylon holsters.  Nylon is for pantyhose! (to steal a wise quote for a gunzine author)

Contact Thor on this forum and he will make you a great holster in leather or kydex.

Robert at Meco holsters makes excellant custom holsters as well.

You won't be disappointed.

I bought one like this locally.   Some use and a little Galco holster lube made it perfect.

It was for r9.      Loops for belt way better than clip.

I think the best iwb holster would be versa carry, high ride or low ride.
