Will a Kahr CT9 fit in a 4" 1911 holster?

[CaptTripps]

Hey guys, my girlfriend just bought her first handgun, a CT9. I have been looking online for a couple good holsters for her, an IWB and a belt holster. I'm wondering if a 4"1911 holster will work. I have seen posts online, that seems to be what most people use. Choices seem to be limited for the Kahr. I don;t have a Commander size 1911 to compare it too.

take it to your lgs and trial fit..............only way to know for sure.

Well that is a problem because the only local stores are big box stores, selling polymer paddle holsters and Uncle Mikes nylon POS holsters. The closest "real" gunshop is about 2 hours away. Thats why I am asking here, I'm sure someone either ; has both pistols and can try it for me or, they have a CT9 and found a good holster for it somewhere.

It might fit but I would feel it would be better to get a holster that is specifically molded to the shape of that particular gun. Try browsing a few of the holster makers websites (like Galco or DeSantis), to see what they have for the CT9 (or any of the T9 series), for a belt holster.

For those less than common guns, it is often easiest to go to the manufacturer's site. If you notice some specific makers, such as in this case, Galco, Gould & Goodrich, Mitch Rosen, if you don't see the holster you want on the Kahr site, you can check with the holster makers since you now know they have the mold for the gun in house.

Just an update for anyone reading this post, we found a BlackHawk! 3 slot pancake holster for a 4"1911 will fit. This particular one has a thumb-break and its a nice tight fit with no wiggle. She likes it and it fits great and is secure and comfy so we are both happy.

Now I have to find a better holster for my CW45. I've been making do with a Bianchi IWB but its for a glock 26, its a sloppy fit. I really like these Kahrs, but finding a holster can be an expensive pain.

happy for your success. a poorly fitting holster is annoying and can be dangerous.
