There does not seem to be much out there for the P-01. Anyone else find anything good?
I prefer appendix, and I am left handed.

I have been happy with JM Custom Kydex. You may want to look at this one:

Thanks for the tip. What options did you choose? clips or loops? and what does "extra tuck" mean? Sorry for my noobieness, I literally just got my CHP in the mail today. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

I'm not able to wear appendix style, so I don't have that exact model. I wear the IWB 3 about 4 o'clock. I'm right handed. Mine has the 1.5" clip and full guard. The clip is very secure with my belt from Midwest Leather Works (an NFOA sponsor here in Omaha).
The "extra tuck" option is for the AIWB. It's one of their ways of trying to "tilt" the gun for better concealment. It's an alternative to the "wedge". They show a comparison of those two options in the FAQ. http://www.jmcustomkydex.com/FAQS.html
For some history on the wedge: A guy in Oklahoma by the name of Spencer Keepers designed a "wedge" for his AIWB holsters (http://keepersconcealment.com) which "tilts" the gun in a way that it presses against your body. You can see it in this video starting at 0:31 attached to the body facing lower portion of the holster. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=updX6Qyddxk
Personally, I'd probably use a wedge over the super tuck option. The downside to the wedge as folks have learned is they compress over time and eventually need to be replaced.

I like my Crossbreed though I don't use appendix carry very often. I like that none of the metal parts of my pistol are against my skin. This summer your sweat won't do your pistol any good.

Absolutely! That's why I purchase my Kydex holsters with the full guard, to keep contact off my skin.

If you want a Aiwb I highly recommend something with a claw. Similar to this.
Clips may vary but some of that is personal preference. What ever you do do NOT but a holster with kydex clips or loops. They will fail stick with injection molded.
I make kydex holsters in Lincoln (Linc-Dex Gear. I don't have that preticular mold gun if you in Lincoln I can use your gun as a mold. I'm also more then happy to answer questions
I would also commend either Omega Holsters in Texas or Holster Co in Michigan. Both make high quality gear. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170430/ad3bef0adc4b7d1e988adbd458499003.jpg)
