Reviews & Ratings for Uncle Mike's Paddle Holster — 5 reviews — Page 1

I recently purchased a Smith & Wesson Model 60 revolver with a 3" barrel. To experiment with concealed carry, I wanted an inexpensive holster, but I could not find one in the local stores, so I bought it online from Optics Planet. It took awhile to figure out how to install the retention strap correctly. One must assemble the parts with four screws, and there was supposed to be an enclosed allen wrench, but it was missing. Fortunately, I had one in my toolbox. It is possible to adjust the height and angle a little in relation to one's belt, but I found that I wanted more angle, so I modified the bracket slots slightly with a Dremel tool. The holster will serve my purpose. However, the paddle is thicker than some other paddle holsters, so it takes a little more room in one's pants. If I decided to carry the revolver fulltime, I would probably buy a more-expensive leather holster, either a pancake holster or a paddle holster with a thinner paddle.

Easy holster to put on and take off, very convenient, well made, very comfortable to have on your hip. I use a little engineering and replaced the hard retention strap with a soft, but durable Velcro strap. Holster is exactly what I wanted. May get a paddle holster for my 1911.
Optics Planet very easy to do business with, actually received the holster a day or two before schedule.

I bought this holster looking for something to carry either my Kahr CW45 w/ a 3.62" barrel or my Springfield XDs w/ a 3.3" barrel. Although the product description stated that it would accommodate pistols w/ 3" - 4" barrels, neither fit. So, back to trying to find something again.

great quality
