I am looking for an IWB holster for a CS45. Anyone have any idea where to get one? I've tried G&G, Galco, and Don Hume.
Help and thanks

Well, Don Hume and Blade-tech made my OWB holsters for me, but it was more than a few years ago ... and I didn't ask about IWB holsters at the time. Sorry. At least they had the ability to make holsters for the CS series back then ...

My CS45 slips nicely into my Sig 226 holster, except for barrel length. If there is a gunshop with a stock of holsters, you might try on for fit at least. There are a lot of choices for Sig.

Kramer (www.kramerleather.com) made them, last time I checked. His holsters are pricy but well worth the price.

My CS45 fits pretty doggone good in a holster made for a Springfield XD9 subcompact. That would be another one for you to try for fit.

Hi bw, I carry a cs45 every day and have for years. when I got my cs I ordered a mr. softy as an interim solution while I waited for a custom holster. Well, I never ordered a custom holster and am still using the mr. softy from high noon. It is comfortable and entirely satisfactory, to me, and best of all is very quick delivery. Hope this helps. Norm

When I bought my used but new to me CS45 it came with a De Santis "086 S5" OWB 2 slot holster. Fits very well except when the safety is off the tip of the lever rubs into the top lip of the holster by a few hairs. Not an issue IMHO. I have no idea if the holster is made for the gun or not, but it fits well.

I have a Bianchi #6 series leather IWB holster that I use with my CS-45 as well as several other guns.IE: S&W 469,M&P 40 4516, Glock 23,27 &30. Another holster I would recommend is the
" Thunderware " that fits in the crotch area.
Not as comfortable when sitting but you could conceal even a CS 45 and extra mag and no one would know. I'm talking from experience on this.

I would check with Comp-Tac... they make several IWB that are well designed... I just ordered a CTAC from them due to high recommendations from the Sig Forum group...

Pilgrim-how do you like that Tucker holster for your CS45? Does it do a good job of spreading the weight, while still being thin enough to be comfortable?

I've got the same one on order for my CS9, I'm at about week 12, so I should have it sometime in Feb. It was about the best IWB I could find for the CS9, I just hope it works for me. Thanks.

Try Bell Charter Oak. Both myself and wife (Detective) use Left Lewis holsters from BCO.

Erik over at Sideguard Holsters, http://www.sideguardholsters.com/index.html , made a great leather OWB holster for my CS40.He also makes IWB holsters. I think that the CS40 and the CS45 are the same size and shape. He makes great holsters and is very good to do business with! (Note: I am not associated with Sideguard Holsters in any way. I am just a satisfied customer. )
