Open Style Inside-The-Pant Nylon Holster

Works well

Uncle Mike's Inside the Pants Holster ReviewI purchased my Uncle Mike's ITP holster (size 16) about two weeks ago from my local gun shop to carry a Sig Sauer P6 single stack pistol and have worn it every day since then. The three places I am primarily are school, work, and home. My pistol stays with me everywhere. I am not a LEO or in the military, this review is on my experience with the civilian application of the product. I walk or ride my bicycle just about everywhere I go, but that is typically the extent of activity I have in the course of my day. My clothing in the summertime (the time of this review being written) typically consists of cargo shorts with a thick leather belt and button down shirts or T-shirts in conjunction with a light windbreaker. In the winter it is sweaters/coats and other heavy garments that greatly aid in concealment.While at the store, I tried out several other holsters including paddle holster, belt slide holsters, and other types of IWB holsters. I was attracted to the Uncle Mike's for several reasons. The first reason was the price. I am a poor college student who enjoys shooting (an expensive hobby!), and I can't really justify spending over $50 on a holster at this time. I believe I bought this item for $12 even. This price is low enough to suit even the most modest of budgets.The second thing that attracted me to this holster was the material. The inside of the holster is soft nylon, and I don't have to worry about it marring the finish on my weapon. This is something I very much like, as typically with leather, kydex and even some rougher nylon holsters will inevitably wear on the gun. While on the subject of material, I will say that the clip is made of plastic and does appear rather flimsy. I haven't had any problems with it yet, but it will take more than just a couple of weeks of wear before anything happens. However, even though the clip seems flimsy, I think it will hold up just fine.When I took this holster home from the store I put it on and tried some practical drawing. By practical drawing I mean I left my clothes where they would be everyday, and practiced presenting the firearm (unloaded of course!) in a shooting stance. For me, the draw was smooth and easy.Wearing the holster: As stated earlier, I wear a heavy leather belt at all times. For the most part, this serves to reinforce the plastic clip on the waistband of my shorts. I wear the holster at the 5 o'clock position on my body, with a very slight cant forward. I do this to reduce the likelihood of "printing" while out in public. One feature that makes me prefer this over other holsters I've used with different guns is the extra bit of nylon designed to be between your body and your pistol (see amazon's picture). This being summer, I tend to sweat while riding and biking around. I keep an undershirt tucked in behind this nylon flap, but I like knowing that there is an extra layer of protection for my expensive firearm from the corrosiveness of sweat. As the past two weeks have gone by, I haven't noticed any excessive shifting of the holster during my everyday activities.I have read some complaints about this holster regarding the lack of retention. As I carry concealed and make an effort to be aware of my surroundings, I am not too worried about the notion of someone sneaking up behind me and snatching my gun from its holster (not trying to toot my own horn, just explain my reasons for not being concerned). As far as that goes, this holster is also sold with (I believe) a thumb break option. I don't care for it personally as I would prefer quick access to my firearm.In summation, I have so far found this to be an excellent holster for my needs. While it is certainly not the best holster out there, it fits my budget and my purposed extremely well, especially considering it is carrying a heavy steel framed pistol. If you are using this for your job (LEO, military, w/e) or have a more active lifestyle, then you might want to consider something different. If you want a high value (most bang for your buck) product, then this should fit the bill.p/s: I rated it 4 stars simply because nothing is perfect.

This is the perfect no frills holster, can accommodate both snub nose revolvers and small semi automatic pistols

•Update. Have used Uncle Mike’s , inside the Belts for 9mm pistol and no issues.•But for a .38 Special 2” snub nose Revolver, it needs to be re-designed for ‘J’ config revolvers for these dangerous explanations:1. Too easy for revolver in the case, for Both to pop out ( actually happened wearing on right side for right hander), just sitting, getting up and walking around or bending over to pick something up2. In a physical confrontation, it would be worse and dangerous to lose your weapon by its staying in the holster but coming lose from the belt.3. The problems are- for wider military style thicker woven cloth belts and narrow leather casual dress belts, the back clip has no teeth in it! It does not secure the holster for a ‘fast draw’ from the hip. The holster actually comes out with the gun!Bang your dead, pointing a gun at a suspect with the holster still covering it!! Lol, but your dead! No holster is worth that. And it happens more often than not vs the 9mm 4.5” barrel, with inside then hip holster.4. For the holster to work, and be secure, you would have to holster with your free hand, then pull your weapon… just too slow/ not practical.5. The other option wear the holster in front on then opposite hip, which seems to keep the holster in better.( now we know why Mannix, Kojak and Barnaby Jones all do that!).6. Can tighten your belt, but then it ends up like a corset and you pass out.7. The last for best: re-design the damn thing. Put a clip with a wider tang on it, that curves upward like a fishing hook, so no matter how fast or hard you draw…. the holster doesnt budge! Make a clip between a ‘J’ and a ‘U’….8. And, design it for a Taurus .38 Special, 2” barrel, so it doesnt feel like the gun is always going to pop out of the holster, as well, whether you sitting, standing or bending over.The present holter sits with the gun grip pointing outward, which is nice, but there is this sensation of it possibly falling out the holster, while just standing up. Tightening the pant belt doesnt correct it…9. The clip is probably too low, and needs to be higher so the gun, inside the belt, and in the holster, goes deeper down into the pants, so it doesnt fall out of the holster, but still allows for a ‘quick draw’ with the gun grip exposed at the perfect height and distance closer, but not too close to the body, that it interfers with the drawing process.Uncle Mike’s I will be waiting for my re-designed ‘ free ‘ holster to be delivered with these modifications.A Loyal Term Customer.

Works well with a Kimber Ultra Carry II 45cal. or a medium size Springfield 45cal.

Bought this holster for a Glock 26. Good quality as you would expect. I found the holster sits a bit high and leaves the butt of the gun above the belt more than I would like. The holster was probably designed this way to allow a no fumble grip of the butt. I prefer the gun lower down in the waistband and so continue with my Price Western leather IWB. For info, I don’t use the grip extension as I prefer the concealment of the ten round mag.

Awesome inside waist holster for the cost. Fits perfectly

Well made good product

It's exactly what it was described as.

Um darin eine Waffe zu tragen ist das Ding einfach zu labbrig.Wollte es erst schon entsorgen, allerdings habe ich dann meinen JPX Jet Protector reingesteckt, spaßeshalber alles außenrum weggeschnitten und… dafür ist es top!Durch das Neopren lässt sich das Ding wieder veröden und ist sehr bequem!
