Uncle Mikes SIDEKICK Holsters: Secure Fit for Active Defense

When you need a shoulder holster that won’t slow you down, you want gear built for movement, comfort, and dependable retention. As operators who value concealment and quick access, we look for holsters that balance secure carry with freedom of motion — especially during active duty or everyday defensive carry.

Design and fit: carry that stays close to your body

The SIDEKICK emphasizes superior weight distribution and a self-centering backpiece so the load feels balanced across a 2.5″ wide nylon harness. That fully adjustable shoulder harness is designed to fit up to a 48″ chest, giving a broad range of users a stable platform for vertical shoulder carry. The onside self-adjusting belt loop keeps the holster close to the body whether you’re in jacketed or unjacketed configurations.

Retention you can trust

Retention is a primary safety consideration. The SIDEKICK features ultra-snug firearm retention plus a retention strap that combines an adjustable buckle and a snap. That dual-method strap ensures the firearm remains secure during active movement while still allowing a smooth draw when needed. The offside tiedown anchors the harness to the belt and provides attachment points for a speedloader or magazine case, carried vertically or horizontally (note: speedloader/magazine case not included).

Practical carry options and materials

This holster is offered in several styles to allow inside- or outside-jacket carry so you can tailor concealment and access to your typical environment. The lightweight nylon webbing provides durability without excess bulk, and the design gives freedom of movement for dynamic tasks. At a retail price of $35.99, SIDEKICK represents a cost-effective shoulder-holster solution for responsible carriers who need a reliable platform without a premium price tag.

Who should consider the SIDEKICK?

If your carry profile includes extended wear or frequent movement — security professionals, off-duty officers, or civilians who favor shoulder rigs — the SIDEKICK’s weight distribution and harness geometry will be valuable. The 48″ chest fit and adjustable components make it adaptable across body types, and the ability to add a tiedown-mounted mag case or speedloader carrier increases modularity for practical use.
