Need Suggestions for Tactical Holster for the Canik

Smoke Screen · January 4, 2017, 10:07 AM

I will be breaking in my new Canik TP9SF at a 4-day Defensive Handgun course in a couple weeks, and they don't allow the serpa-style holsters in their classes....

Do you have any recommendations for a good tactical holster for the Canik? OWB in case anyone asks.

Custom kydex would be my choice. I get mine from Ted Corini on eBay. Ted_cori. Good stuff

I would recommend a holster that you would customarily use. When you say tactical.. that typically means conducive toward a particular tactic. Is this just a running and gunning class or are you wearing armor, equipment that would hinder the use of a normal OWB hoslter?

Back in the day I typically used a UM84 with a thumb strap rather than the flap. In the past decade or so, I have used a plain ole kydex holster with zero cant.

I like:

Bravo
Raven
Concealment Solutions

and I still like the UM84 but people just chuckle when they see it.

Yes, this would be for a run-and-gun class. I also woulnd't mind one with the option to carry with armor (I know some come with extenders that will drop the rig below the line of the plate carrier)

Thanks for the feedback so far!
