I fail to see how an IWB holster with belt loops can be worn inside the waist band (IWB)

My wife used this to meet the draw requirements for her CWP using a Taurus 357 mag. The fit seemed just right on a size 3 with the strap having just a little bit left to let out. Holstering and drawing was certainly not the smoothest motion and for my wife often required two hands (one for the gun and one for the holster) but at this price it was well worth it's money considering I had no plans to carry this gun holstered in the future.

The belt loop strap style mounting is pretty straight forward. It secures the firearm just enough that you don't feel like it's flopping around when used with a good rigid belt. If you are looking to have your firearm glued to your leg however you should be looking elsewhere. That's not the intent of this holster.

The strap is... well... It's a strap with a snap. Don't expect much out of it. It's OK for general securing of your firearm under light conditions but certainly not something I would count on if I were planning on wearing this holster for say a day hike or any other activity that could result in incidental bumping of the strap. I also found it difficult to snap when my Taurus was holstered. This was because the position of the snap was just in front of the trigger guard which meant there was nothing solid behind it for me to leverage against. This meant almost always using two hands to snap it closed. My wife didn't even bother with it after multiple failed attempts. On the bright side I would say it is a tighter fit than say the snap on your jeans so also takes a little bit more effort to open.

If you need a budget holster and are not worried about fast draws or ultra secure holstering then I definitely recommend Uncle Mikes Nylon Sidekick Hip Holster.

For the price, very nicely constructed. Not sure what size 11 is really designed for--it's very narrow (not as pictured on Amazon) so think that, on a big revolver, the cylinder must sit well outside the holster? I was hoping it would fit a "Super Comanche" single shot 45lc/410 break-action pistol, 10" barrel. It sorta fits, but not great. The holster is really tight to fit the barrel with its stock and big blade front sight, and holster has several extra inches of length. Closed at the end. This might break-in to fit a bit better. The retention strap has a lot of adjustment to it. Obviously not a listed fitment, but somewhere I read that it was a reasonable option (not many stock options for this pistol).

Slots for a belt, not snap on/off. A small webbing loop at the tip of the holster so you could tie something around it to hold it to your leg, in a conventional hip position.

Material is sturdy feeling without feeling rough and unpleasant, much nicer than I expected.

For what it is -- a very inexpensive, simple, nylon holster -- it is an excellent value. Well built. Retains the revolver well. Weather proof, and virtually indestructible with normal use.

BTW ... a tip for those who own long barreled handguns. Taking a page out of history, you will note that many cavalry and infantry troops during the War Between the States wore their (by today's standards) long barreled handguns on the strong side hip, butt-forward. A practice that lasted well into the early 20th century. I bought this left handed holster (I am right handed) for my 7 1/2" barrel Ruger Redhawk. Carrying it butt forward makes it easier to draw straight up out of the holster. Once the long barrel has cleared the holster, a simple turn of the wrist puts you in the muzzle down close retention position. Drawing a long-barrel pistol from the hip in the traditional manner often puts your wrist in a very uncomfortable position near the top of the draw stroke, or is an impossible maneuver while mounted; or in any position if you have short arms.

Very nice- Perfect fit A+
