Uncle Mike's Sidekick Hip Holster for 5-1/2"- 6" Barrel .22 autos and airguns in Black Right Hand

The Uncle Mike's Sidekick Hip Holster for 5-1/2" to 6" Barrel .22 Autos and Airguns in Black Right Hand is a purpose-built carry solution from Michaels of Oregon, engineered for shooters who prioritize everyday comfort and secure retention with compact .22 caliber and airgun platforms. This holster uses the patented SIDEKICK laminate construction of Cordura—a ballistic-grade synthetic material proven in law enforcement and military service for durability and weather resistance. The right-hand draw configuration accommodates barrel lengths from 5-1/2 to 6 inches, fitting the dimensional envelope of standard .22 automatics and air-powered designs where lightweight carry matters.

The hip holster design positions the firearm at a natural carry point along the waistband, offering accessibility for range training, field use, and recreational shooting. Cordura's inherent properties—abrasion resistance, moisture repulsion, and UV stability—ensure the holster withstands salt air, dust, and temperature swings without degradation. The laminate construction provides structural support while remaining lightweight, a critical advantage for extended wear during patrol duty or outdoor activities. The compact profile makes this holster suitable for concealed or open carry depending on garment selection and user preference.

This holster is purpose-designed for .22 caliber rimfire shooters and air rifle operators who value a dedicated, form-fitted carry option without the bulk required for larger calibers. Recreational shooters, small-game hunters, and training professionals working with .22 platforms will find the Sidekick's dimensional specificity an asset. The black finish integrates with tactical or civilian loadouts. At 0.5 pounds and measuring 6.2 x 2.6 x 14.25 inches, the holster delivers minimal weight penalty and compact stowage, supporting all-day carry without fatigue or printing concerns.
