Purchased a new toy, need some holster and ammo advice. I bought a....

S&W CS9 for $399.99 new! After going to the gun show and being very disappointed, I went shopping around town for anything new. Low and behold, the CS9 I looked at a few weeks ago was marked down to the above price. Played with it, held it etc., and decided I could not pass it up, so I brought it home with me.

With that said, I would like to carry this one IWB (A little big for pocket carry but CAN be carried in the pocket, just kind of hard to hide it all the way, but it does OK in an inside the coat side pocket) and would like some advice on a holster to get. Also, what kind of ammo do you CS9'ers run through yours? I hear they will eat just about anything, but I want to get some good carry ammo.

Here are some pictures...

Great! You bought the CS9!

I have a CS45. I carry it in a Bianchi pistol pocket. It's a little on the wide side, but still quite concealable and very comfortable to carry.

Yeah, I think I will be happy with this one. Can't wait to get it on the range to break it in.

I don't own a CS9 but I work in the pro shop at Nosler, Inc. I have found the galco holsters to be excellent for general carry or deep concealment. They have the quality of a custom holster with a more affordable price tag.

There are many good choices for ammo. Federal, Winchester, and Speer all make excellent carry ammo. I personally carry the Speer Gold Dots in all my pistols. Our local law enforcement recently switched to those from the Federal Hydra Shoks. Just my two cents worth.

I checked the Galco web site, and unfortunatly, they do not make an IWB for the CS9, so I may just go Don Hume.

Try this one:

I own one of these holsters for each gun I carry. They're outstanding and it is offered for the CS9. If you don't like the clip-on IWB, a similar model is offered with straps. Just navigate to the general Don Hume brand.
