The Uncle Mike's Sidekick Vertical Shoulder Holster in Size 5 is built for folks who spend long days in the field and want their sidearm off their hip and out of the way. It's a right-hand, vertical-carry rig made from Cordura nylon with a laminate of waterproof closed-cell foam padding and a smooth nylon lining that hugs the shape of your gun. Size 5 is cut for 4.5 to 5 inch barrel large autos with an open end, so if you're running a full-size 1911 or a similar large-frame semi-auto, this is the one you want.
The whole point of a vertical shoulder rig is keeping weight off your belt and spreading it where it's easy to ignore. The 2.5-inch wide nylon web straps and self-centering back-piece do exactly that, and the harness is fully adjustable to fit up to a 48-inch chest. An onside self-adjusting belt loop pulls the holster in tight against your side so it isn't flapping around when you're moving, climbing, or sitting in a blind. Wear it under a jacket for concealment or over the top when you just want quick access.
A retention strap with a combination adjustable buckle and snap keeps your pistol seated through plenty of movement, and the safety strap rotates to secure autos at either the grip or the hammer. The high front on the holster body shields the gun while still leaving a clean draw and easy reholstering. On the offside, a tie-down anchors the harness to your belt and gives you the option to carry a spare magazine case either vertically or horizontally, so your reload rides along balanced on the opposite side.
This rig has been a trusted budget workhorse for decades, and longtime users praise how secure and durable it is for hunting and general field use. It's a comfortable, no-fuss way to pack a handgun when a hip holster just gets in the way. Backed by Uncle Mike's limited lifetime warranty, it's a practical pick for hunters and outdoorsmen who want dependable carry without overthinking it.
Size 5 is designed for large autos with a 4.5 to 5 inch barrel and an open end, which covers full-size semi-autos like a government 1911. The safety strap rotates to secure the pistol at either the grip or the hammer. If your pistol has a shorter barrel or you're carrying a revolver, you'll want to check a different size in the Sidekick lineup.
This model is a right-hand rig, so the holster sits under your left arm and you draw with your right hand. The harness is fully adjustable to dial in your fit, but the hand orientation itself is fixed. Lefties will want to look for the left-hand version instead.
The harness uses 2.5-inch wide nylon web straps with a self-centering back-piece and adjusts to fit up to a 48-inch chest. Measure your chest with your jacket on to get the most accurate fit since many people wear it over outer layers. The onside belt loop also helps pull the holster in snug against your side.
Yes. The offside tie-down anchors the harness to your belt and lets you mount a magazine case on the opposite side, carried either vertically or horizontally. Running a loaded mag or two on the offside also helps balance the weight across your shoulders for a more comfortable carry.
