UTG Special Ops Universal Leg Holster - Gen II

the quality of the actual materials surprised me for this price point. however, the stitching is an issue. threads started fraying and coming lose after i fit it to my leg. and one area of the holster is coming apart uner the weight of my gear. i had to stop carrying a magazine with it to lighten the load and stop the damage. i am using this for a glock 20 with a tungsten guide rod. this holster could easily fit something larger. my glock 20 fits well in the trigger guard area but there is a lot of room to play around the slide, especially near the top. the retention strap is tight enough to keep the movement within the holster to a minimum. i use this casually at home and its extremely comfortable. my leg does sweat and does experience some irritation after several hours, its still better than my other at home carry methods. i have health issues that make other carry areas, especially the abdominal area, sensitive to pressure. so this has been a relief for me. i wear a gun belt over some athletic shorts and i'm able to make it functional without making it tight enough to bother me. the thigh strap can also be uncomfortable if you actual tighten it enough to stay exactly where you want it. i wear it just above my knee and only make it tight enough to not constantly rotate around, but when sitting the weight of the gun makes it slide down to the side, not a big deal though. if you use this with loose clothing that is made of a heavier material then you will experince some pinching due to the material bunching up underneath, still not a big deal. the comfort and versatility to carry all of my hanguns makes this a great value.

Relatively inexpensive for what you get. It is built very well. I wouldn't hesitate using this leg holster with complete confidence.This holster does offer a great degree of adjustability. The nylon looks to be of good quality. The holster also has a magazine pouch located fore of the pistol holder, and looks to hold one pistol magazine securely. A strap is used for securing a pistol in the holster, and it is adjustable, with two separate metal snaps. I am guessing the snaps allow for user preference for unholstering the pistol either with the snap or with the nylon snap buckle around the grip. Snaps also hold the leg cushion to the main horizontal strap for the leg buckle. I am guessing that once you find your comfortable thigh adjustment, then you snap the horizontal strap front and back to the leg cushion for a tight fit. Should you move for an extended time and your thigh swells from blood circulation, you can unsnap the cushion again for a better fit without re-adjustment. Incorporated with the horizontal main strap is a section of elastic to allow for expansion when moving and allowing a good fit. Behind the main horizontal strap are a loop for and aft of the holster. These can be used to clip on accessories and are reinforced behind the main horizontal strap. I can barely squeeze an index finger into these loops.The leg padding is firm and a non slip nylon mesh is used to prevent unwanted sliding on pants material. The leg cushionis encircled on its edge with a strong nylon edging, double sewn for durability, however, where one end of this hem meets the other, it is located right in front of the cushion. I see this may be a problem with durability. It isn't finished at these edges as good as the rest of the holster, and is not smoothed down. I plan on doing my best to overcome this with adding something over this seam end. The belt loop is used to support the weight of the pistol and magazine, and is nice and thick with a good quality nylon strap. It too is adjustable, and has a nylon buckle for removing the holster. The holster is held on firmly and redundantly with loads of velcro. I did notice a made in China label tucked up in there, but honestly, this is one very strong nylon holster. Only time will tell.Aside from the hem issue, the only other thing I noticed that I didn't care for is a rubber label sewn into the bottom edge of the holster that says "TAG airsoft". Is this an airsoft holster? You could have fooled me!

I purchased this item to holster a Taurus 24/7 G2 in .45ACP with the 4.2" barrel. The handgun fits nicely, although the holster is a bit wider than it needs to be even for this large handgun but it is a generic size so that was to be expected. The retention straps adjust nicely and hold the pistol tightly, but releases quickly and allows me to get a full grip on the firearm as it is drawn. My front sight does not protrude out of the bottom of the holster, and I had no snag issues with it as reported by others with longer barrels.The extra mag fits well in the extra mag pouch, and it's a 12-round magazine so it has a little length to it. The thigh strap fits nicely and feels snug, with a single strap going up to your belt to hold the weight of the firearm.However a couple drawbacks I noticed. When running at a full sprint, the holster shifted from the 3 o'clock position on my leg to the top of my thigh, in the 12 o'clock position. There is nothing to keep this from happening unless you add another strap that goes around towards the back of your belt, or try to get the thigh part so tight it will not move, but I'm guessing at this point you'd cut off your circulation a bit. Otherwise the holster stayed put, and more importantly so did my firearm.The second drawback is with the weight of a fully loaded firearm and extra mag, the holster tends to tilt away from your leg at the top a bit. It's not really bad, but as it already has a wide profile on the side of your leg you don't want anything extra hanging out to snag on anything. If there is a way to tighten the top of the holster and pull it back towards the thigh band I have not found it yet, but I'm sure with a little creativity I can remedy this small issue.Otherwise this is a good thigh holster considering the price, and the few drawbacks would not keep me from purchasing this item again.
