Buy a better holster and try it for a little while. If you still want to wear Uncle Mikes then sell it for what you paid for it....good holsters don't really depreciate. You will however, probably not go back to your Uncle Mikes.

Some very smart people told me once, "If it's stupid but it works, it's not stupid."
whatever works for you, bro. 
I carry a LCP in a padded cloth sleeve in my back pocket daily. Not sure but I think it's Uncle Mike's too. |

As for the LCP, mine had a FTF 19% of the time out if 300 carry rounds, 100 of three types. It was an excellent gun to carry in a back pocket sticky holster, but that gun almost made me give up on autos. That's how I got my .357 LCR

I like the thin profile of the Uncle Mikes and Blackhawk IWB holsters for appendix carry, but their flimsy plastic belt clips suck. I remove the plastic clip and replace it with a good strong steel belt clip.
And yes, I have a drawer full of expensive holsters. None of them work well for appendix carry, though. |

As for why I switch my carry gun, it depends on the audience I'm around and what I think they'll find coolest when I whoop it out loaded to fanger fork. [\sarc] It depends on my outfit. I wear a slim fit suit the majority of the time, and carry the shield, but I take the LCR if it's raining or on the water somewhere. I carry the XDM on the weekends in casual clothes. |

I knew I saw someone on here suggesting the metal clip replacement, but I couldn't remember who. I'd like to do that. What aftermarket clip do you use? I normally just buy another mikes when the the clip gets bendy after a year. |

I DO train of course, and I pay special attn to the reholstering part. The way I see it, if I'm putting my gun away, I'm in no rush, and can watch it into the holster. The draw is no different than any other holster, except kydex. The kydex ones hold the gun so well I feel like I'll rip off my belt. |

That's just it. With a good holster you don't have to pay special attention to putting your gun away. If you have to climb a ladder, perform first aid, carry a wounded person, or one of the thousands of other things that require two hands I think you would find a higher quality holster invaluable. If God forbid you are wounded in your weak hand you will find having the option to rapidly re-holster literally a life saver while reloading one handed with your strong arm.
My guess is you have used shitty holsters as a proper kydex holster shouldn't feel like you are going to rip off your belt. Stop being a cheapskate and buy a proper holster. I will probably cost over $100. As for changing your guns like you change you shoes that is also something I'd advise against unless you have a valid reason for doing so. I carry the same Glock 23 CCW (in evil .40S&W) that I carried on duty and that I shoot competitions with. Train as you fight. There is good training value to gun games and I wouldn't poopoo then outright. |

I'll stick with the uncle mikes because that is the one that works for me. Good training is good. Good training is not always applied to real world situations like climbing through tiny openings at every which angle for hours on end. |

That's just it. With a good holster you don't have to pay special attention to putting your gun away. If you have to climb a ladder, perform first aid, carry a wounded person, or one of the thousands of other things that require two hands I think you would find a higher quality holster invaluable. My guess is you have used shitty holsters as a proper kydex holster shouldn't feel like you are going to rip off your belt. Stop being a cheapskate and buy a proper holster. I will probably cost over $100. As for changing your guns like you change you shoes that is also something I'd advise against unless you have a valid reason for doing so. I carry the same Glock 23 CCW (in evil .40S&W) that I carried on duty and that I shoot competitions with. Train as you fight. There is good training value to gun games and I wouldn't poopoo then outright. The leather is not soft enough on them and when you are climbing through attics, craw spaces, and where ever else, the hard points catch. When you are bending over and maneuvering, they dig in to your sides, thus chanting the holster/gun and often makes the clip no longer secure. I've spent my money. I'll stick with the uncle mikes because that is the one that works for me. Good training is good. Good training is not always applied to real world situations like climbing through tiny openings at every which angle for hours on end. Are you a tunnel rat or a HVAC guy? Your carry needs are rather unique. The OP has not mentioned any nspecific reason he is using this holster. Electrician |

Why leather again? You're saying an IWB Kydex holster will catch and cant? Don't use clips. Use soft or Kydex loops. Also, get some training. You think you know what you're talking about and you don't. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I'm sorry that you don't like the fact that a cheap crappy holster works better for me than a more expensive one. Who would have thought that could bother one so much. |

It may surprise you to learn this (apparently) but many people carry and compete with the same holster. Many even look for better holsters as designs change and evolve. It will blow your mind to know that IWB Kydex is comfortable and secure if you're not using a shitty clip on $40 holster. You could spend $60 or so and get a new secure and comfortable holster but you wont'. You tried some cheap shit 5 yrs ago, settled on your Uncle Mike's and won't compete with or train with it but hey, we're just holster snobs. You know more. Don't change, dude. Ever. |

I'm not tactical fatty enough to compete with you. Recommend me yet another holster and I'll buy it. If I like it, great. If not, it will get sold off like the others. So go ahead, p238 iwb. You say I won't buy a $60 holster for some dumb fucking reason, yet here I am. Suggest away. |

That was my first carry holster for a full size M&P, I carried it that way for like 2 years.
I used to say the same shit you are saying, but then I got Comptac. Let me just tell you, I know you think it's just fine, because I did too - but you don't know what you're missing. Seriously. I'll never go back. |
