Good IWB holster for 908/3913 type pistol?
I've had a 908 pistol since 1999, but have never had a good IWB holster for it. Seeking recommendations now. I'm an average size person: 185 lbs, 5' 9". For IWB, I usually wear jeans and a 1 1/4" web belt, and sometimes cargo shorts and same belt.

Look at Ken Null website. I have been using his IWB for my 457 and others; it is the most comfortable holster I have ever used. And that covers a LOT of holsters!

Don Hume has your IWB holster for the model 908 - a H715-M WC (40-3) - sale priced at $40.91.
I own several H715-M holsters for a variety of Gen3 Smiths. They are great or I wouldn't have bought so many.

I carry a 3953 everyday, in a TT Gunleather Slim XC. Very comfy and as the name says, slim. Since the dao slide is so flat already, I chose it for the slim design and it is amazing.
Lobo also highly recommended

I use an El Paso Saddlery for my 3913/3953. It will also fit the 908.

Huge recommendation for Remora. Carried a 908 for many years and have carried 3914 for past 10 years. Daily rig still looks brand new. Love the fact it's easily movable if needed to adapt to different seats in cars, different clothing, but stays rock solid in place where you put it. Never had a worry. Have the exact clone set up for my back up 3914 in case daily is ever relinquished for any reason

I might get thrown off the forum but, I use a Clinger Kydex for my 3913TSW. It's a IWB, so I'm not worried about looks.

I have the aliengear hybrid tuckable holster. Works great and one of the least expensive brands in that category.

Don Hume H715M holster for CS9

FYI: This thread motivated me to purchase a holster from Don Hume for my 3" CS9.
I bought the CS9 variation (30C) that has the body shield extension -vs- the model (28C) without.
It seems to have reasonable quality for the price.
While my CS9 fits nicely in the holster to my surprise I found my various 3913/3914/4040s also fit nicely.
In fact with the 3-1/2" 3913 in the holster there's plenty of excess length to fit a 4" 3906 in it.
Obviously this holster is made to fit various manufacturer models but it makes me wonder how long(er) are the holster model #s for the 908/3913 than this one?

Many times a Sig 239 holster fits like it was made for your 3913.
My 3913 rides in a Kramer #3 IWB if that helps, not a cheap solution however.

When I had a Colt Officers ACP in the late 1980s, I was looking at the Milt Sparks Summer Special for it... Then I sold the gun. I'll be looking at that holster again. Thx.

Holsters can be very individual to each user, everyone's body shape/type is different. With that said, I've comfortably
used Bianchi's Pistol Pocket 3 IWB holsters for 45 years, for revolvers and semi autos (5906, 669, 3913)

I sent an on-line message to Hume asking why the holster was so long for a 3" pistol.
No reply, so beware.

Try Detroit Kydex. Inexpensive but good quality. I have an inside the waist band for my 6906. It worked well with my 3953 as well. I carry every time I leave the house. Zero problems after 7 months.

Try the Detroit Kydex brand. Ebay and Amazon. I carry my 6906 daily. Secure, comfortable (for me), very good quality and very reasonable. The other holsters listed here are all excellent as well.

I’ll second the recommendation for TT Gunleather in general and their IWB holsters in particular.

I've been using a Clinger IWB Kydex "Gear Holster"for some time now. The only thing I had to do was use my heat gun (on low) to bend the belt clip in a bit. I think it's me, not them.
They also make a pad that sticks on to the body side of the holster which makes IWB carry pretty comfortable.

Ok, thanks! That looks pretty good. I was looking at the Don Hume H715-M holsters, and now I have the Clinger to check out.
