I just got a Kahr MK9 (brand new at a gun show: $399). What are your recommendations for the slimmest IWB holster to carry it in? Thanks for the input!
 
Milt Sparks VersaMax 2...

...if they make one for your gun. Reason is that the belt loops are spaced away from the holster on either side of it, making for a very flat profile.
 
Thinnest IWB? No doubt,it`s gotta be FIST`s ultra thin kydex. A relative carry`s his Kahr K-9 Elite in a FIST ultrathin clip on IWB and it`s awesome. I`ve worn it myself and I actually can`t tell the difference between carrying the gun Mexican style or with the holster. It holds it securely,allows pretty easy reholstering,a fast smooth draw and it adds practically zero bulk to the gun. Also I`m not usually one that cares for clips but the one they use is tenatious,it won`t come loose ven clipped on clothing without a belt. If I couldn`t carry my Keltec with it`s integral belt clip the Kahr/FIST combo would be my next choice. Marcus
 
Another option is the Alessi MOB, worn strongside, just behind the hip instead of MOB as designed. The Talon Clip will hold securely on any 1 1/2" belt (and on a softer one, eases the pressure on the side opposite the gun) or the waistband. Since the clip is mounted behind the trigger guard, the only thickness added to that of the slide is two layers of thin leather (just under 1/4" on mine). The rake is more extreme than most IWBs, and keeps the gun butt up and tucked in close. The leather is smooth side out, which allows it to shift slightly rather than sticking and creating wrinkles. Ths sounds like a paltry consideration, but a wrinkle, held in place by belt pressure for several hours, can leave a tender brand on your Michelin Man :eek:
