On June 10th I stopped in at RM Holsters to pick up my Extreme Cant Paddle holster for my Glock 48, which is now my EDC gun.

I’ve been using RM holsters for the last few years and have been very happy with them.
I got to thinking that even tho I don’t plan to carry my S&W M&P M2.0, Sig M17 or my HK VP9, it would be nice to have a holster for them. So while I was picking up my Glock 48 holster I asked Kee if he could make some more holsters. Kee normally only has black kydex in stock, so I asked him to order some FDE to make holsters for the M&P and the M17. I told him that black would be fine for the VP9.
Kee said he would order the FED kydex ad give me a call. Yesterday morning I got a call from Kee, letting me know that two of my holsters were ready.
I knew that he didn’t have a mold for the M&P M2.0 5” so I brought it with me.
I had the Extreme Cant Paddle Holsters made for both guns ad left the M&P for him to make the holster for it.
I also had him make me some mag pouches.

Kee gives a lifetime warranty on his products. He also dates each holster.

Congratulations. They look good, and the holster ride on your belt looks very comfortable and accessible.
 
Nice holsters. I am intrigued by the paddles...how do they work? Can you send pics of how they attach to a belt?

looks like they ride right to the body, but high I like a lot!

Thanks!
 
Also, do they have a website or email account?

Here’s another pic of the Glock 48 in the holster. As you can see, the paddle slides into your pants and hold the holster very snug and close to the body.
When putting it on, you just put the tip of your finger between the paddle and the holster and then slide it on. It’s very easy to put on and take off, but stays in place while wearing it.

Here’s a pic of me wearing one with a Glock 19 RTF back in 2016.

Gunny....you must be Kee's best customer! BTW, he dropped me a note the other day saying he was about to "press" mine, so it should be arriving any day now! Thanks for the lead, and SFMF!
 
That is a very interesting paddle design. I have a few paddle holsters in Kydex (we're issued Safariland paddle holsters) but I've never seen a paddle that's actually part of the holster like that with a molded belt channel. Seeing how it's worn, it does look to be nicely close-fitting and concealable.

How is it for comfort, though? That's a lot of plastic inside the pants -- any issues when sitting?

It used to be fairly common design, though not exactly the way RM executes it. However, even the one piece molded belt channel OWB holsters have for the most part been replaced by screw together belt attachments.

Comp-Tac still offers their one piece paddle holster, though I suspect they sell a whole bunch more International paddles

They are very comfortable. When working I would have one o for 12 to 15 hours. I’ve never hav any issues with sitting in chairs or vehicles.
 
Good to know. I trust guys who've been on the job to evaluate holsters for comfort. 15 hours in a CVPI (or FEPI these days) or on desk duty are the true tests for whether or not a holster really works.

I checked his website and his prices are competitive. I like that he does FDE. That M17 holster and mag pouch looks just right.

I'm thinking the extreme cant paddle would be great for some Glock 43Xs... the 48 looks right at home in one.

Kee Special ordered the FDE For my holsters. He has enough to make a couple of more. A while back I saw some that he did in red, looked kind of cool.
I have an inside the waist band for my Glock 43 and my FNS9. He gives LEO discounts that are very nice.
I told Kee that he might get some orders from some of the members of THR.
 
Lee.... My holster is in the mail, and I let Kee know you were responsible for my ordering it. I think he was pleased to hear that and will no doubt be thanking you himself. :)

You’re going to like it.

Kee called me Friday to let me know that he had my M&P M2.0 holster ready. He didn’t have a mold for the M2.0 five inch so, I had left my gun with him. I got to his shop around 3pm Friday and picked up the holster and my gun. I also had him make me two mag pouches, one in FDE and one in black.

Hey Lee... I wore my RM holster (PPS) for the first time today and I'm a believer! I've never been a fan of paddle holsters, but this design is totally unique. Easy to put on, fits the gun like a glove, and hard to detect. I just may have to get one for my P99 next!

Glad to hear that you like it.
I now have six or seven RM holsters now and plan to get some more.

He noticed and got them ready together,combined the shipping and credited my card for one of the shipping charges. That my friend is a man who appreciates business. He will be getting more of my needs filled very soon. Any THR members do not hesitate. Again thank you Gunny!!!

Kee is a great guy. He will also do special orders if you want a color other the black.
