Hey guys, I'm in the middle of my CCW class at the moment, and I've purchased an Uncle Mike's IWB holster for my Ruger LC9 w/ lasermax mod. When I'm using this carry system, the firearm and holster definitely leaves an imprint and a pretty noticeable bulge. With that being said, I'm now thinking of getting some sort of shoulder system (Galco Lite holster) but I really like the IWB concept, are there any better holsters available?

By the way, I'm about a medium build at 5'7" 175-180 lbs.

I've taken quite a few classes were shooters are performing everything from concealment. Some of these guys are carrying full size guns under T-Shirts and its not noticeable. You probably see an imprint and pretty noticeable bulge because you know that your LC9 is "there".

Also forgot to mention in my earlier post, I wear 1 size larger shirts and pants now and it really seems to help out!

Oh yea, don't forget to get a good gun belt as well!

Check out comp-tac.com, they actually make holsters where you select the make, model, barrel length, and whether or not it has rails etc... I ordered one for my Kimber Warrior that I get out jail this Thursday.

I tried a Crossbread....did not like it at all. It was slooooowwwww to draw from. Not what you want if your ever in a position where you need to get into action fast.
Was recomended Milt Sparks IWB holsters. I daily carry a full size 9mm or a Commander size .45. I don't even know it is there anymore. And I can draw very fast from it.

They are not cheap....but like most things....buy quality once and actually save money in the long run.

If your simply going to "try" a crossbreed there is always the option save about 40-50% and go with an OldFaithfulHolsters kit and assemble it yourself. They have the basic mold it yourself, but they do have a pre-molded LC9 lasermax shell kit.

There is no perfect CCW holster. It all depends on your choice of carry position, the gun you choose, belt and holster, and clothing choices. None of that matters unless you practice with your gun, your gear, and your cover garment under a shot timer on a scored target at a known distance. Otherwise it's all in your imagination.

For larger guns, I would recommend the Crossbreed since its large footprint helps distribute the gun's weight over a wider area. For mid-sized or compact guns, I would recommend a Comptac MTAC since it functions similar to a Crossbreed but isn't as bulky.

I like Raven Concealment. There is a little bit of a wait for some of the models, but oh is it worth it.

Pretty much what he said. I use to think the same thing when I first started carrying, and the truth is that the only one who notices is you, and maybe one ther gun enthusiast.
