I just changed out my off duty gun from a Kahr mk9 to a pm45. The problem is that I can't carry or qual with it until I get a holster. I am looking for IWB with belt loops similar to 5 shot leather's uncle lou or a Milt Sparks watch 6. I am sure I will be placing another order with 5 shot leather but I need to get the gun into action soon. Anyone know someone with a quick turnaround time with decent quality? Thanks

Ken Null http://klnullholsters.com/has been building horsehide holsters for alot of years and the last I heard, his delivery times were a week or two.

She does'nt have your gun model listed but she makes very nice holsters, might want to check if she could do it. Her turnaround is about 4 weeks and prices are very good for the quality of her product.

I am not sure about their current turnaround time, but I have used FIST Inc. for a couple of holsters before and had pretty good luck with them. I had an IWB in a very thin (and surprisingly comfortable) kydex for my little Kahr PM-9 that I wore daily for a year or two and now miss them both! Give them a try also. Best regards-John

Try Sideguard holsters, a newer guy but very skilled and very fast, if your LEO or active duty, you move to the head of the line. Eric makes a VERY nice holster for reasonable money and he has made some overnight for a guy who lost his undercover gear in a vehicle breakin.

Ken Null.... been around forever, builds sleek lean concealment leather, uses shell cordovan. In my top "3" list of makers, his original SSS (Super Speed Scabbard) is from the original design and to me is still the best designed 1911 holster ever.

I do have to agree with Matt on that one too, Ken does great work and is extremely fast, and listens to his customers too. I once needed oone of the USH type shoulder holsters in a hurry, for an unexpected assignment with less than a weeks notice, and Ken got one in my hands.

Hi gj47. Fist is the ticket. For that PM45, you should go with one of his ultra thin kydex IWB designs. fist-inc.com I've been thinking about that PM45. Have you shot it yet? How's it handle? How's the recoil?

Just a slight correction Matt. Ken marks his holsters "Shell Horsehide" and the leather is definately horsehide. Shell Cordovan is a horse product but is buttery smooth and has a soft hand. In gunleather, Shell Cordovan (used like an exotic) is bonded to a structural leather to give some rigidity to the final piece. Oh yeah, and it's damn expensive :)

Keep it clean brother! :mrgreen: Seriously though, her work does look pretty good and I like that ordering system she's got set up.

I just received a holster from Monica. Let me just say this: I own or have owned holsters from everyone here ( with the exception of John ). Monica can measure up to any of them. For the price and the wait it's a terrific bargain.
