Uncle Mike's 70050 Sidekick Hip Holster IWB/OWB Size 05 Black Laminate Belt Clip Fits Large Semi-Auto Fits 4.50-5" Barrel Ambidextrous

The Uncle Mike's Sidekick Ambidextrous Hip Holster is a versatile carry solution for shooters who want flexibility in how they set up their rig. This IWB/OWB holster is designed to fit large-frame semi-automatic handguns with 4.5" to 5" barrels (Size 05), and its reversible design lets you swap from right-hand to left-hand carry without buying a second holster. Whether you prefer inside-the-waistband concealment or outside carry for accessibility, the Sidekick adapts to your preference and your belt—the spring steel clip accommodates belts up to 2.25" wide.

Built from black laminate, this holster emphasizes retention security and durability. The non-stretch hook and loop retention strap keeps your gun indexed consistently, while the molded thumb break adds a tactile confirmation that your firearm is seated and ready. It's the kind of practical, no-frills design that appeals to hunters, range shooters, and everyday carriers who value function over flash.

The true value of the Sidekick is its adaptability. A single holster can serve multiple carry modes and hand preferences—useful if you're setting up for different activities or simply testing what works best for your body and lifestyle. The laminate construction holds up to field use without excessive bulk, and the straightforward retention system is intuitive to operate under stress.
