The Uncle Mike's Sidekick Ambidextrous Hip Holster (Size 5) is one of those do-it-all nylon rigs that has earned its keep for decades. It's built for large semi-autos wearing a 4.5 to 5 inch barrel, so think full-size 1911s, service-size Glocks, XD and XDM pistols, and similar frames. The whole thing is cut from patented Kodra laminate with a padded, waterproof interior and a smooth nylon lining, so your pistol slides in and out clean while staying protected from sweat, dust, and weather.
The big draw here is flexibility. The reversible spring-steel belt clip flips over for left or right hand carry and works inside or outside the waistband, riding on belts up to 2.25 inches wide. That clip is powder-coated to fight corrosion, so it holds up to regular wear. A non-stretch hook-and-loop retention strap paired with a molded thumb break keeps your gun locked in until you want it, and the strap releases quick when you need a clean draw.
Uncle Mike's includes their Strap Trap adjustment tool in the box, which is basically a thin key that lets you reposition the thumb break to match your handedness. Set it once and it stays put. Folks who carry a spare tend to love the integrated mag pouch on the front edge, which handles most single and double stack magazines and makes this a handy range companion as much as a field holster.
Where this holster really shines is out in the woods, camping, hiking, truck gun duty, and general knock-around carry where a rugged, weatherproof nylon rig beats babying a leather setup. It's roomy and well padded, so it feels more like carrying your pistol in a protective case than a slim concealment holster. If you want lightweight, tough, and versatile without fuss, the Sidekick has been getting it done for years.
Size 5 is built for large semi-auto pistols with a 4.5 to 5 inch barrel. That covers full-size 1911s, service-size Glocks, and pistols like the XD and XDM in that barrel range. Fit runs on the snug side with the padded interior, so an extremely large or accessorized pistol may sit tighter than expected.
Yes, the Sidekick is fully ambidextrous. The spring-steel belt clip reverses for left or right hand carry, and the included Strap Trap tool lets you move the thumb break to match your setup. Once you dial it in, it stays locked in place.
It does. The reversible clip lets you wear it outside the waistband on belts up to 2.25 inches wide or tuck it inside your pants. Keep in mind the padded nylon build is on the thicker side, so it tends to work best as an outside-the-waistband or field carry rig rather than deep concealment.
Absolutely, that's where it earns its reputation. The Kodra laminate is tough and waterproof, so it shrugs off sweat, dirt, and weather during camping, hiking, and woods walking. The built-in mag pouch is a nice bonus for keeping a spare close at the range or in the backcountry.
