wwillson Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 http://www.unclemikes.com/products/inside_the_pant_holsters.htmlI ordered a Crossbreed holster for my LC9, but it won't be in until after I need it. Does anyone use these Uncle Mike's inside the pant/belt holsters? I found one at a local gun shop, but don't want to buy until I've heard your experience with them.Thanks,Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryinIN Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 I've used them a long time ago in the mid 80s. They were awful. They don't fit, don't hold their shape, don't stay in place- awful. They are like a sock with a belt clip on them- a poor belt clip.They were what turned me off IWB carry for several years until I tried something better. If needing a holster just to get by, I'd try to get a Don Hume holster. The quality is plenty good enough and much better than a UM, the price isn't much more, and they are usually available.

wwillson Posted July 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Thanks Barry, I was hoping for a strong opinion and that's what I got! I'll try to find something better.Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwillson Posted July 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 I ended up getting an Uncle Mike's. It works ok, but when you're used to the stability of the CrossBreed, the Uncle Mike's is pretty hard to get used to. The CrossBreed should be here in a few weeks.

wwillson Posted July 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Barry,I'm completely with you that this holster is "awful". It needs to be adjusted a least every 15 minutes. Can't wait until my Crossbreed gets in.Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryinIN Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Isn't it sad? Sad because they could do better. If it was a Cordura material like their other holsters, it would be so much better. It would be thicker than most leather IWBs but at least it would be more useable.I have one of their ankle holsters around here somewhere, and I think it was of that same Cordura as the hip and shoulder holsters but thinner. But I could be remembering it wrong. If so, that would be better than what they do. If had an IWB that fit that gun, I would have offered to send it as a loaner but I don't have any. I've done that a lot for people waiting on their real holster order. I guess that says a lot about both the amount of not-in-service holsters I have and the lack of decent temporary holsters available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarryinIN Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Hey, if the cost of postage can get a holster I'm not using to someone that might otherwise have to buy something...marginal...while they wait for an order to come in, what the heck. Consider this a standing offer to anyone here.If you have a holster on order that will take a while, let me know and I'll check the holster library for a loaner.This reminds me- I have some out to a guy who asked for my address to return them...a few months ago. I haven't seen them. I hope he just hasn't sent them yet. The alternative is that they got lost along the way. Dang, I forgot all about that.
