Ok guys so so far I have been using a remora, sticky holster, and a Vedder belly band for my Sig P938. The remora I like better than the sticky for iwb, but when I get in and out of the car I have to remove the holster. The sticky works well for my coat pocket. The belly band I do not have to remove, but after a while I have to take it off to give my back a break. So I am looking for something I don't have to keep messing with. I like my WWII tank gunner holster for my 1911 around the house and also like the galco Miami classic shoulder holster, but I can't conceal my 1911, lol.

So I was looking at a Guides choice holster from Double Diamond (not sure if this will conceal well, but I like you can position and secure the weapon with the pull strap.)

http://www.diamonddcustomleather.com...t_Holsters.php

Or KirkPatrick custom shoulder holster custom fits the 938 (I called and asked)

http://www.kirkpatrickleather.com/sh...-carry-138/445

I am leaning towards the kirkPatrick unless someone has better suggestions. 190$ is expensive, but it's custom fit, carries mags, and I should have no issues concealing... Hopefully. Again the problem lies with belts and discomfort of wearing Iwb, so right now that is not an option. Thanks!

They look awesome, and I've heard great things about Kirkpatrick. I'm pretty much ready to pull the trigger on the X400 shoulder holster. I was also looking at a Cooks IWB kydex holster (easy to conceal the bare gun at 4 oclock and can actually sit down). It has very minimal material due to its thin and rounded edges and I could wear a cloth belt, but I keep running into what if I can't wear a belt that day. So why spend almost 70$ when I could put that towards the X400.

I contacted Kirkpatrick and they also reccomended the K400 detective model which is $120 instead of $195. I would lose the mag pouches, but the mags are so small I can put them in my pocket. The only downside I can think of is the shoulder holster with the mag pouch would print a small bulge on both sides under my arm. I am wondering if the detective model would be more obvious with a lump showing on only one side under my armpit. Does anyone have a K400 detective model that they could share their experience?

Consider the walther pps in 9mm and a remora holster. I got one for cycling...and its turned into an edc. Mine is 40cal...and it bites ur hhand the 9 is a better round for this size pistol

Thanks. I don't have any issues concealing the 938. It's very small and 9mm. Anything on the waist is just not an option right now.

Default Getting CCW and need advide on Holster Pistol Setup

I was ordering one of these for my 1911s around the house and under a jacket. Initially I was looking at a Guides Choice, but that was half the price. Curious, I sent them a message about my situation. He replied saying they could make a holster for my 938 in this style, but use the leather from their Agent line that would mold better for less printing. So I ordered 2 in this configuration, but in black. One for my 1911 and one for my 938. I will still probably order the X400 eventually.

A little update. I ended up ordering a Kirkpatrick X400. The Panther Creek holsters fell through. I should be receiving the X400 any day now.
Meantime I am doing a lot better with my back. I'm finally able to take care of my lawn again amongst other things, and it's great to feel alive again. I've been able to wear belts finally, so I ordered a Kydex holster from Cooks Holsters for my Sig 938. Everyone needs options right? This holster is great and I love it. I've been able to wear it all day, it's super comfortable, and built really well. Clicks securely in place and disappears. It took about 5 weeks and I am very happy.

I will try and get some pictures up as soon as possible.
