I am considering an LC9 but was wondering how you guys are carrying it? I carry a LCP now. That think will go anywhere. Pick a spot. I was thinking the LC9 inside the waist band but don't know what the best holster would be. I saw somewhere there was a inside the waist band without a clip. I think it just stayed there by friction. Anyone use one of these and what are your thoughts?

thanks
 
With a shirt I use a Blachawk IWB (has a clip). Without shirt, running and doing outside chores, I use a Blackhawk pocket holster. No reason for the two Blackhawk holsters other than that is what my local Gander Mtn. had to fit the LC9.
 
I have an Uncle Mike's pocket holster...at 17 oz, the LC9 feels a little heavy in the pocket, certainly compared to the LCP, but for some reason seems better than the LCR .357 I had...which weighed the same. Because the LC9 is flat, it seems to carry better. I plan to eventually get a good IWB holster. I also carry the LC9 in the console, when I am in the car...in the Uncle Mike's holster.

I wish the Mika pocket holster I got for my LCR would fit my LC9. (I don't have the LCR anymore.) Oh well, I guess I'll put it on the classifieds here.
 
I carry my LC9 in my pocket in a cheap holster until I can get a crimson trace on it and an RKBA custom holster for it to ride in with the laser. No point in buying a good holster until I can get one that accommodates the laser.

Pansy. I hang mine off of a roofing nail driven into my hip. :lol:

Next you'll tell us you cut a slit in your scrotum to carry an extra mag. :lol: :lol:
 
That's gotta leave a mark. Wow I guess I'll have to remove myself from this list. I'm no where near as manly as you guys. LOL
 
I need to see pictures before I believe all that.
Serious note: I have been carrying my LCP in a IWB Crossbreed holster that I really like.(minituck) I have ordered one for my new LC9, hasn't arrived yet. Check them out at Crossbreedholsters.com. Has a life time warranty. Will probably not carry the 9 in my pocket, but have a couple of different pocket holsters for the LCP. Enjoy your LC9 and carry it safely.
 
I carry it with a firm grip held straight out in front of me. Nobody bothers me any more.
 
So far, I've been carrying it two ways:

Where'd you get those? That holster is built in to the shorts? Or did you add that yourself? I have seen the tactical shorts online, but they don't say anything about a holster.
 
I pocket carry both my lcp and lc9 using his pocket holster from walmart.
Size 3 - under 15 bucks.

Under left arm in a Magills concealment T-shirt. Not a quick draw, but it's always there and very unobtrusive. Works great for office dress shirt use where a belt holster isn't possible. I would have an extra mag on the right side, but Impact Arms is two weeks+ late on delivery.
 
I carry mine in an IWB thats similar to the Crossbreed but has a little more horsehide and delivers for 65 bucks. Its a one man shop but he ships quickly. Take a look, for the money its hard to beat.

Carry mine in a Remora #4 holster IWB holster. Doesn't move after a day of walking around. Works slick.
 
Crossbreed MiniTuck, couldn't be happier.

I tried a Remora based on all the hype I've read about them, and it moves and shifts after only about 5 minutes of walking around. A complete waste of money.
 
I bought the "Pro Carry Deep Comfort" IWB from The Holster Store and I don't advise it. Long wait, not as pictured, prints more than expected, needs modification to rest in a sitting position. I plan to cut some of the material back so that the leather ends closer to the barrel. I will still use the holster given the money I blew on it, but it will likely require an un-tucked button- up shirt to fully conceal. I actually went to the gunshow in Houston this week and bought the smaller LCP just so I could be comfortable and armed at all times. I didn't like pocket carrying the LC9 due to the added weight and using the grip extension it catches up in my pockets even in cargos. I would certainly advise IWB but a better holster as well.

I just receive my TheisHolster this morning and can't believe how easy it carries and hides. Can't wait to get it broken in...
 
I use the same style of holster for my LC9 as I do for my LCP and SR9C and that the Nemesis Pocket holster from I believe Desantis, though I'm a big guy. each gun fits snug in each holster and is an easy draw if need be, and they're pretty cheap at Cabelas
 
#3 pocket holster, cloth, or the same Don Hume pocket and IWB holsters I use to carry my PM9 in.
