Uncle Mike's #16 Sidekick Ankle Holsters Fits 3-1/4" - 3-3/4" Barrel Med. & Lg. Autos - Right Hand

Uncle Mike's #16 Sidekick Ankle Holster for medium and large autos with 3-1/4" to 3-3/4" barrels is purpose-built for plainclothes officers, detectives, and civilians seeking deep concealment in urban or undercover operations. This right-hand holster addresses a critical tactical need: backup weapon accessibility when primary carry positions are compromised or unavailable. Ankle carry remains one of the most reliable secondary solutions for law enforcement and armed civilians who require discreet, always-available access without printing or telegraphing weapon location to threat actors.

The Sidekick model features a retention design engineered to secure mid-size and full-size semi-automatic pistols while minimizing pressure points against the ankle bone—critical for all-day wearability during extended surveillance, patrol, or undercover assignments. The holster's compact footprint and lightweight construction (0.39 lbs) reduce fatigue during prolonged ankle wear, while the anatomically contoured shape accommodates natural leg positioning without restricting blood flow or causing discomfort. Uncle Mike's uses durable synthetic materials that resist moisture and friction, essential for ankle-mounted gear that experiences constant contact with socks, pants legs, and skin.

This holster is ideal for plainclothes law enforcement, off-duty carry, civilian self-defense, and tactical backup scenarios where ankle placement provides undetectable concealment. The right-hand configuration suits standard draw techniques and integrates seamlessly with ankle-wear support systems including compression socks and elastic ankle straps. Verify your firearm's barrel length falls within the 3-1/4" to 3-3/4" specification for optimal retention and safe carry—oversized or undersized pistols may exhibit excessive movement or retention failure during dynamic movement or drawing.
