I too have a 9c and I tried a few holsters, trying to find the "right one". I was convinced that I needed a hybrid holster (a.k.a. supertuck or Alien Gear) that had two belt clips. I tried a few and while some were more comfortable than others, none were truly comfortable for me. There always seemed to be a piece of leather that poked me. Then the husband said to try the N82 Pro (owned by two guys named Nate). I was doubtful since it only has one clip. I was concerned about it weighing down my pants. I gotta to say that I hate it when the husband is right! I love my N82 Pro holster. Excellent retention, soft against the skin, nothing pokes me, waterproof, you can adjust the cant, easy to put the holster on and off. The back of the holster is suede so it is soft against your skin and the suede helps prevent it from creeping around. The front of the holster is a soft leather, between the suede and leather is neoprene which makes a nice soft padding between you and the gun and is waterproof. The part that actually holds your gun is a type of plastic (not kydex). There is no need to break in the holster. The fit for the gun is excellent. The gun positively clicks into place and you need to twist the gun towards you to get the holster to release it. So nobody can randomly grab your gun out of your holster unless they know the trick. Learning to gently twist the gun inwards takes about 2 seconds to learn and it is simple to use. If you have a need to take your holster on and off during the day, the single clip makes it very easy. I have never had it weigh down my pants. It is by far the most comfortable holster I have ever had (and I am picky). Hope this helps you. Buying a holster is a very personal choice. If you can find someone who uses a N82 holster or can check out one in person, I recommend it. They are great!
