Greetings;
As many fo you know i recently aqquired an Mk40 for backup to my K40 and as a primary weapon when a belt holster might appropriate.
Well i am breaking in a new Kramer horsehide pocket holster for the Mk40 and it is great.
Wet molding and boning are fantastic. the top side of the holster is a mirror image of the gun. The back side (worn away from the body) is perfectly flat and has a thick section of hard plastic or polymer sewn to it. this helps to break up the outline of the gun and protect it when worn in the back pocket when you sit on it. the holster has several protruding tabs of leather that help it remain in the pocket during the draw.
The Mk40 is a little heavy/large for front pocket carry, IMHO, but it reaches the "I forgot it was there!" stage real fast in the back pocket. In that posistion the pistol/holster combo is very comfortable. It is really not any worse than a standard wallet in the same pocket. As a matter of fact my wallet is more uncomfortable to sit on for any period of time. Draw from the pocket holster is fast and grip from the draw is easy with two fingers (three with mag extender).
I can see that in the future i will be reaching in the lock box for the MK40 in its Kramer horsehide pocket holster and my extra K40 mag in its Kramer horsehide pocket sleeve and hitting the road in comfort and well armed.
