We tried out several different Kahr CM9 holsters and came up with this list of the 8 best Kahr CM9 OWB holsters. Outside the waistband (OWB) holsters are better for a few reasons. To be specific, OWB holsters are better for their grip, re-holstering and are comfortable. They hold your gun securely to your hip.

The Kahr CM9 is a great handgun and it’s an amazing carry gun.

Let’s begin with our favorite OWB holster and the one we recommend.

Best Kahr CM9 OWB Holster Reviews – 2020

RCS Raven Concealment Systems Phantom Modular Full Shield OWB Holster

Phantom Modular Full Shield OWB Holster
The Phantom Modular Holster has become the standard by which all other holsters are judged. Copied by many but equaled by none, the Phantom Modular Holster is the first choice of armed professionals and civilians. The Phantom was designed from the outset to provide the highest possible level of concealment by being adaptable to wear with virtually any style of clothing. What makes the Phantom so unique is its ultra-thin, body-hugging pancake profile. This profile, in conjunction with our Eclipse Modular Mounting System, allows the Phantom to be worn either on the outside the waistband or inside the waistband.

We construct the body of the holster from thin, high-strength kydex-T. We chose to use a pancake-style design in order to minimize bulk and distribute the weight of the firearm over a wider area on the belt. The “outside” portion of the holster body fully enshrouds the weapon from ejection port to muzzle. The “inside” or “body-side” portion of the holster incorporates a full-length body shield. This enhances comfort and aids in re-holstering, while simultaneously protecting the controls of the pistol. All Phantoms are designed around the Eclipse Modular Mounting System, and are therefore compatible with all Eclipse Modular Accessories.
