However, if form follows function (which it usually does) this holster gets a solid “A” in the performance department. While it’s completely functional and fits the pistol perfectly, it has to be the ugliest holster I have ever owned, or contemplated purchasing. The design of the holster is among the simplest I’ve seen. The holster arrived in a small box by itself with no additional materials or instructions.

I had heard it mentioned in several instances, and for the small investment in cost I thought I would give it a try.ĭelivery from Alabama Holster was not fast (about two months), but quicker than some of the other holsters I have ordered from small shops. It turns out that there is a much better pocket holster available now, and that is the Front Pocket Holster from Alabama Holster. While the existing holsters I have for the Kahr will fit the SIG, I couldn’t help but feel there had to be something better on the market, given that I purchased these holsters almost four years ago. I shoot it far better than the Kahr (probably because of the single action trigger) and feel the magazine is a better (though similar) design. I'll update with a review after I've gotten it.Recently, I purchased a SIG P938, single stack pocket 9MM pistol. It came down to lead time really, Vedder gets them out the door faster. Is there any other compelling reason to go with one or the other? The Vedder and the Alabama seem to fit that spot. Alabama seems to have a less gun-like shape to the outside. I've seen the hooks, but I would prefer the weapon be clear of the holster as soon as it's out of the pocket. I like the idea of a thumb tab to push down on the release the gun from the holster with one hand. Looking for thin since I sometimes carry in jeans which leads me to kydex. Since the holster is not stiff, my only way to draw from my pocket is to reach over with my left hand, grab the bottom seam of the holster through my pants leg and pull the gun out of the holster.

The pocket itself will often come out sticking to the holster. What I don't like about the holster is that no matter how tight or loose the pants are, the gun tends to stay in the holster as I pull it from my pocket. Sometimes it's in jeans which are not loose, chinos, cargo shorts, or dress pants. Currently I carry a PM9 in a sticky-type holster in my front pocket.
