Title: Ruger LC9 Holster
Post by: Tmmorton on October 23, 2015, 12:27:41 AM
I figured I would just drop a quick question about whether there is a good holster for a Ruger LC9.  I typically conceal carry, but I would like the option to open carry, even if it is a tiny gun. 

Any suggestions?  Any personal experience?

I have a pocket holster for my LC9 I forget the brand. It's brown and made of leather =\

I bought it from Joel at Freedom Firearms in Battle Creek.

I have a Safariland Model 75 Venom holster for my Shield, but they also make it for the LC9.  It conceals really well under a jacket, and OK under a looser untucked shirt.  Has a retention strap for moments when you might want to open carry.

...mine is the GALCO pocket holster for the LC9.

My suggestion? Get a full size Glock for OC, pocket carry your LC9 as a BUG.

There are a LOT of low volume / custom leatherworkers on 1911 forum, who can make whatever you want for under $100.

The hard part is probably finding somebody there who has a LC9 dummy gun to form the holster around.

I ankle carried an LCP as a bug.  I now carry a G42 on the ankle.  I'll OC a Glock 26 or 17.

If you are looking for a custom leather one then I recommend Craft Holsters - https://www.craftholsters.com/ruger-lc9-holsters
