Uncle Mike's Kydex Off-Duty and Concealment OT Hip Holster with PBA

I received this holster less than 45 minutes ago. Fits my Star Super B (9mm Spanish 1911 copy) like a glove (or like a solid holster). Retention is good. If you're worried about someone grabbing your piece, you can loop some shock cord through the holster and tighten it to your liking. It'll keep it in place nicely. For everything else: solid. I've jumped up and down, run in place, crawled around, etc. Did not fall out. Takes a solid pull or shove to draw/reholster, but nothing superhuman by any means. A little bulky for CC, but as I am a fan of open carry, it works for me. Haven't bothered with the belt loop kit (which comes with it), as the paddle.. THE PADDLE. I once heard to stay away from paddle holsters, as they can slide off mid-draw and you have a holstered handgun drawn. Whoever said that has never played with this. The paddle is VERY snug, which I love. My old holster felt like I had a brick stuck to my belt. This one makes it seem almost weightless, but you can still feel a little heft to make sure you didn't lose your blaster. Anyone on the fence about this holster, if you're looking for a kydex holster, be it belt loop or paddle, get on the side of the fence where you own this. For the price, I do not believe it can be beaten. Did I mention this thing is sturdy? The kydex is THICK. I'll report back in a few months after some range time, a CPL course, more range time, some bike rides and hikes, more range time, and general use and abuse, but preliminary indications are all very, very good. Additional note, on the con side: it does rattle some as you move, so it makes some noise. For me, not a big deal. For anyone else... Probably still not a big deal. You're not some Super Secret Squirrel Ninja.

Bought this holster for my Beretta M9 pistol to carry. Needed a simple no nonsense holster without all the high speed bells and whistles. This is a simple friction lock holster that retain your pistol by clamping down on the trigger guard. Retention is very good while still allowing for ease of draw. Draw tension is adjusted by a screw that compresses the kydex shell. It is a one piece kydex shell with 2 included optional carry plates. You can choose between the paddle or belt carrying plate. Switching between the two is easily done via 4 cross tip screws located on the backside. The holster allows for various cants to match the user's draw preference. Kydex material doesn't damage the pistol's finish and is very durable. Good holster for the money.

I'm typically a Fobus fan, but I had trouble finding a holster that would fit a long-slide Glock Gen4 40 in 10mm. This Uncle Mike's holster with the open end fits well, and the price is right. There are a series of offset holes on the back which allow you to adjust somewhat the ride-height and cant. Every position I can think of is available. My only complaint-- and it's a big one-- is that there are two very aggressive teeth on the paddle clip to hold the holster in place, and they are big enough and strong enough to not only make minor adjustments of the holster nearly impossible once mounted on a belt/lip of pants, but I fear the teeth will absolutely destroy nice dress pants over time with wear. I would estimate these teeth are a half-inch long or deep (depending on how you look at them) and they poke through the paddle to aid in belt/pant retention. Anyone who wears something less tough than denim or thick canvas should be cautious though. These teeth are totally overkill, and I'm going to see if I can grind them down with a Dremmel. See the photo for an idea of the size of the teeth and how they stick through the paddle.

Fits perfectly. Adjustable for tension. No slop, no rattle, no noise. Easy draw with good retention. The best of everything, and a heck of a lot cheaper than Safariland or Blackhawk. I've got a rig for sidearm-only local patrol that has one 1911 on each side. Not that I want to be a post-apocalyptic, zombie-slaying cowboy, mind you, but you've got to have more than one firearm regardless of circumstance, and having two pistols fulfills that requirement. The mirror image holsters let me use either hand as the strong hand.

Bottom line - it fits my SIG P220C just fine. This is a solid holster that covers the basics - kydex is good material - it remains open for ease of re-holstering. - Uncle Mike's is a solid, low cost alternative for those on a budget or who just want something basic to use for courses. - Retention is decent. There are adjustment screws to allow you to customize the fit to your preference. - Paddle is light and holds well. - For the P200C there are not many options in kydex without a button release (Serpa type) this is simply a tension-fit holster. This is not a perfect fit for my Sig - it's a 'generic' size holster It does work and the price is right - not much more to say about it.

The holster arrived before scheduled and after a minor adjustment of the tension screws the size 12 fit my Taurus pt140 very well. It's the best "open holster" I've seen constructed from Kydex, a very strong, durable plastic. Being an open holster there is no retention system or thumb break, the molded form of the holster actually holds your weapon in place until you draw it with a deliberate tug. Be sure you order the right size comparable to your weapon, here is a sizing chart link from Uncle Mike's [...]Best of all, the holster only cost me $16.00. I am very pleased with my purchase. Also the Uncle Mikes web belt works well with this and my other holsters and accessories. Uncle Mike's and Amazon are a match made in Shooter Heaven!

I am just getting into IDPA shooting and bought this holster for my Sig P-220. The gun fits perfectly. The height as well as "cant" is adjustable. I have it adjusted low with no cant and it works great. It comes with a belt clip but I prefer using the paddle. It securely "locks" under the belt so it stays in place during draw. The retention is adjustable with two screws. I am planning on getting a Glock 34 in the near future for IDPA shooting and will get another Uncle Mike's Kydex holster for it.

I'm using this for Practical Pistol competition, and it's just what the doctor ordered for my first set-up. With this and the Uncle Mike's mag holder on a belt you have what you need to compete. When you are in the Master class you may feel the need for a more expensive rig, but for us mortals this thing is great. Good for competition or for open carry. Holds the weapon by the trigger guard, weapon won't fall out but comes free in your hand with a reasonable tug. Doesn't touch the sights or any controls, only the frame and trigger guard.
