I've always gotten good service out of Uncle Mike's holsters. Sure, I've probably spent more on holsters for some guns than the gun actually cost me. Still, I have used plenty of UM's as well. It is what it is, and it does what it does. What it does is generally good enough for what's needed.

The key to using them, or really any holster is a good belt. The belt is where you shouldn't cheap out. Get a quality belt, and you'll be miles ahead, even with a less expensive holster, than many people out there.
