Congrats on the new EB! I’ll look forward to your thoughts after you’ve received it and had a chance to get it dirty.

Thanks man, I need to make a trip now and stock up on some 9mm. Hopefully there’s some guys out there making sheaths too (other than the EB offering). Im not on any of the popular gun forums so if you have any suggestions I’d appreciate it, I assume sending it to someone will be the best option though.

Do you mean holsters? I’d reach out to Rob Leahy @ Simply Rugged. He can make just about anything, and you may not have to send it in.

Congrats, gorgeous gun.

Regarding holsters, there are sooo many choices (profile is basically a 4" 1911, right?) .... how do you want to carry ?

(OWB vs IWB, for OWB: cowboy style single belt loop, or pancake for concealment, ride low or high, 1.5" vs 1.75" belt, etc., thumb break and if yes cocked and locked ?, etc.)

For example, I just got this Desantis one yesterday, and I believe it would fit your gun.

Bought it for the range, it's well made and fits both my 3" and 5" 1911s. Pancake, thumb break for cocked and locked. But the open bottom is not everyone's cup of tea (and I wouldn't use it for daily carry).

The issue with the EVO KC9 is that it is designed to have a slimmer slide than a normal Commander (and a 1/4" shorter barrel), so it may end up being loose in a lot of standard pre-formed Commander holsters.

.86" vs 1" slide width, right (~3.5mm difference) ? I feel a pancake holster would pull itself tight around that ....

Yeah, it probably would, esp. if it's properly sized to be snug and require break-in over time. Depends on the maker. But a lot of options that are pre-formed, or simply mass-produced (Desantis, Galco, etc), are not great at that in my experience. They are often designed to fit right out of the box, which generally means they loosen even more over time.
