Uncle Mike's Off-Duty and Concealment Kodra Nylon Super Belt Slide Holster

Size 30 (designed for H&K USP compact) is made in the Philippines, and made quite well it seems. I have a few Blackhawks (made in the US), and looked for one for the Sig P250 compact. As usual, their holster fitting app did not help me at all, so I tried the UM site. They too do not mention the P250 but at least they have size 30 for the USP (very similar dimensions to the P250). Sure enough, it is tight but OK (more suitable for the small girp frame than the medium). The nylon will stretch a bit and not recover, so the holster will fit quite well after a few days. The trigger is covered, and the barrel extends to within 1 inch from the (open) bottom of the holster (i.e. the holster is about 1/2 inch taller than necessary). Tight enough to dispense with the thumb lock (unless you are mountain climbing).Note for 1911 commander owners: size 15 says semi-autos up to 4.5 inches, so you might be tempted to get it instead of size 19 (for 1911 govt). 1911's are skinnier than other semi-autos, and the muzzle will protrude after a couple of weeks even though the barrel is 4.25 inches. You will need to get size 19 and live with it being 1 inch too long, or try a different holster.

This size 16 is exactly the same as no 12 with a small exception in the trigger guard area. There is no size guide or chart to know which numbered size fits which gun (I’ve looked). I hoped the 16 would be larger than the 12, but nope it’s not. Might fit an lcp 380 at best.

Updated Review:After only a few weeks of using the holster is still the right size, but the belt loops are inferior to the previous design. I have a size 15 of the early generation with belt loops sewn on and this is a better design. The new size 12 with belt hole cut through just isn't as good. The issue is when using the top loop its just not stiff enough and the material just doesn't have enough at the top of the belt making the holster flex out a bit away from your back. This cases more printing. The solution would be to have some sort of stiffener in the fabric between the two layers. Maybe made out of plastic or even leather. So.... I have to reduce this by one star. It fits, but its just not going to hold up.Original Review:I've been resisting IWB because its not good with my body type. Finding something small and that holds it tight has been an ordeal and there are not a lot of good options, plus I really think retention needs to be more than friction (I know this is a big debatable subject and such a 90's view, but that's my opinion). In the 90's I had a size 15 and its a good general purpose size. I bought the modern generation of the Size 15 recently and even with the cutouts its just about as good (but not quite). Size 15 will fit a G19, P229, etc as well as a G43x and none have slop and the trigger is well protected once the straps are adjusted properly. Size 15 will fit a ton of different brands and models. Size 15 with straps correctly adjusted fits well and surprisingly there is no movement in the holster even on a G43x.Size 12 is a bit smaller in several ways and fits the G43x even better (the straps are adjustable). If you have a G43x get the Size 12 and not the 15, even though you can use the 15. Using the top belt hole (not bottom) fits it snug to me in kidney position. Using the bottom belt loop hole allows the butt swings out a bit from my body and that cause more printing. If you use the top belt loop hole, it pulls in very tightly and compactly.For me Kidney is the best position that keeps it tucked way out of the way and with the retention strap I can get pretty physical and not worry about it. Set it and forget it. If you are looking for Level II or better retention, this isn't really that kind of retention. You are better off with a non-concealed holster.

This isn't my first Uncle Mike's holster that I've purchased & it's definitely not my last. The first one I purchased was for my Glock model #19. I purchased it in 1990 & I still have it & use it everytime that I carry that firearm. So I purchased one for my Glock #27 subcompact & it fit like a glove. I carried that gun in that Uncle Mike's holster everyday since 2003 until present. Finally one of the belt loop holes started to fray. So I ordered a new one & the design & quality hasn't changed in all those years. I received it today & my Glock #27 slipped right in for another perfect fit. The locking straps are adjustable. It comes with a tool for that. Very simple to use. For off duty, concealed carry holster you can't beat it. I love my uncle Mike's holster.

This relates to the Size 2 for medium revolvers. I've had a similar but much older Uncle Mike's nylon pancake for many years and love it--it fits a wide variety of large and compact semi-autos. But not revolvers, so I was hoping this would fit the bill. The short answer: no.First, the holster is not very stiff. With a heavy steel revolver, this results in the gun curling the holster and pulling well out from the body. The only way this doesn't occur is if you happen to be able to place the holster around two belts loops to keep it from bowing outward. Great for fast draw, lousy for concealment.Second: the thumb break seems to be lined up with semi-autos in mind, therefore loops well above the hammer spur of several revolvers I've tried it with. So: useless. But removable.Third, and most seriously: This does not fit a revolver in a way that covers the trigger. At all. I've tried it with J, K and L frames (and a Python). It swallows the J but the "medium frame" triggers are fully exposed above the holster. This also leaves a lot of the revolver's mass above the holster (it barely accepts the very front of the frame), so protection and retention are terrible. The one type of revolver this does fit is a 4.5" singe action, but the trigger is still fully exposed. Strangely, it fits large and medium semiautos just fine, trigger guard and all.Tag says Size 2. Website insists this is for a 4" medium to intermediate revolver. There's no way a double action revolver fits in this.
