UTG Special Ops Universal Leg Holster - Gen II

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 am a medium sized female 5'7 ft. Tall. This holster works well for me. I have a Berretta .45 px4 storm and it fits my gun and clip pretty well. If you have a smaller gun, this holster might be a little. The thigh strap is adjustableadjustable and can go much tighter than I need it...It is a little bit of a pain in the butt to adjust it because of the rubberized grip on the strap. The length can be adjusted too. The holster seems well made for the price. I am very happy with the purchase. I was trying to decide whether or not to go with a holster that had two thigh straps, or one like this with a single strap. I'm glad I went with this one. There is padding and some non-slip material so the strap doesn't ride down your thigh. Very comfortable. Make sure if you are going to buy this one, you buy the gen 2. There is another one utg makes that is similar, but according to reviews is not as good.

This holster is very well made, and a lot tougher than the picture would seem. If it fits your pistol, you can expect to get a long and useful life out of it. Therein lies the issue though - fitting the pistol. I purchased it for a 1911, but the pistol is not a good fit for the holster. The holster has an opening at the bottom that is a perfect fit for the barrel end of the 1911, letting it pass out the bottom of the holster. A wider/taller pistol frame, say a Glock or Springfield XD, would work great, but the 1911's muzzle end is just too small. The retention strap is a bit odd too, and while extremely secure, makes a quick release and draw very hard. One last thing. This holster is very adjustable for drop length and fit. However, there is a lot of Velcro used, and again that extra security works against ease of use. You can adjust this just right, but it will take a while and a lot of patience. Overall I liked it enough to keep it and use it for a different pistol, but I still ended up ordering a different holster that better suited my needs.

This is a great holster. $15 is a good price, and I got what I paid for. The army digital looks really cool and is great for the desert area in Phoenix, where I live. Unlike many reviews say, I am able to tighten the straps so it is very comfortable. I then cut or tucked in the straps so they wouldnt dangle around. When first took it out of the package, I was confused as to why there are so many straps, but I later figured out that they were all for a valid purpose. I use this holster for my daisy 15xt and the holster holds it well. The 15xt is a very small sidearm, about the size of an M1911, but not as long. I would reccomend this holster, but maybe consider the smaller UTG holster aswell. As far as I could find, there are 4 models of UTG holsters. All different sizes, price based on size. This is the second biggest, and I would also reccomend the one that is slightly smaller than this.

I recently bought this as an addition to my tac-harness, and I have to say that it's amazingly well made. The construction is great and can take a lot of abuse. I'm thinking of ordering one for my cousin who is in the military. A lot of other reviews I've read are from military personnel saying that they prefer this variant over the standard issue. Big kudos to UTG on that. It has one pouch for spare mag and rubber inner-lining leg strap. So once it's in place it doesn't move around. Fits everything that I can slide into it from a large frame .44 magnum to a large frame .45 auto. Fits my gun like a glove. (((Update: 1/31/13))) So it turns out that while this still isn't a bad holster it's not one that I'd look at taking into combat. I have big legs and the thigh strap is way too tight. I'm going to be upgrading soon to a BLACKHAWK! Tactical Holster Platform with a BLACKHAWK! Serpa CQC Carbon Fiber Black Holster (Matte Finish) instead. This should prove to be a bit better. Don't get me wrong, this thing is built like a tank but it will not fit my 1911. The barrel just sinks right through the hole in the bottom unlike my Ruger P-90. Size matters, I guess. Another big gripe is the plastic retainer clip that holds the gun in the holster. That is a serious design flaw. It takes too long to unclip the fastener and draw your weapon, especially if you have a stiff fastener. Durable, yes. Well put-together, yes. Well designed, no.

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.

I bought two of these. The black and woodland camo versions. The pistol holster is to big to hold my Beretta PX4 Storm .45. The retention strap holds it in the holster and prevents it from sliding up or down. However, the pistol slides side to side because there is about 1/4 of an inch of play on the sides. I noticed if pinched the holster by the pistol's trigger guard it reduced some of the play. (if you wanted to sew it, it might be passable) The snaps that hold retention strap rub up against the gun. The leg pad and the holster can be separated. (i.e. all it is the UTG pistol holder with a leg pad/strap added) I tried to see if I could reduce the play by tightening all the straps when I reassembled it. No go. The plastic clip that secures the belt around my leg would come undone. (i'm 5'11", average build with skinny legs) Yes, it will hold your gun. If you use it once or twice a year it is passable. However, if you plan on walking around with it for any length of time, just accept that the buttons will scratch your pistol, the seams will break/fray, and the clip on the leg wont stay clasped. I would not rely on it for any length of time or if the SHTF.

I just got mine, Incredible, well constructed holster on materials & work, is US$17.00 so you don't get heavy plastics, in fact is very light plastic and could break on the long run on all 3 plastic parts, but for the price is just amazing, the velcro is top notch. It fits in my leg very good, I am a chubby guy (Fattso of 265 pounds at 5 feet 9 inches tall) and it fits. Rememer that this is not a fast draw holster, because it has buttons to draw the gun, but it fits my HK P30 perfectly, it protects all the metal of the gun, the magazine fits perfectly, so 5 stars for me...
