Any big (I mean HUGE) drawbacks to using the nylon holsters like Uncle Mikes and the like?
I'm expecting to undergo rotator cuff surgery on my right shoulder soon and will need a left hand holster for my PT145 MilPro or my SP101. The family budget won't allow spending a bunch of $$ for a temporary situation.

Just my 2c but I reckon ''soft'' rigs can be more trouble than they are worth.

True they'll 'hold the gun' - but having no stiffness they seem to tend to bounce around and - worst of all with some - it takes two hands to get a fast draw.

I'd consider if affordable as a temp fix, maybe a small Don Hume belt slide. Or maybe too Dillon might have something leather and affordable. I guess even a Kydex paddle could be considered as long as retention wasn't too severe for an easy draw.

I always had used an Uncle Mikes Sidekick holster. I have had no trouble with it myself. I just do not insert mine inside my pants, but rather under the belt and over the pants. This way my pants dont fit so tight!

I don't see any HUGE problem with one. I have an Uncle Milkes for my S&W 686, I don't use it to carry, just for the gun's protection more than anything. They are not the best but for a temp deal I think you will be just fine with one.

Actually, I would try a Don Hume holster as well. They are pretty good for the money.

You can get into a waist band clip on for less than $30.00 for the PT145.

Same with the SP101

My thinking is that you could sell it when you are finished with it an come real close to recouping the cost as little as it is or just call it goos and keep it if you ever need it again.

For similar money you can get a decent kydex rig. It's money far better spent and you can probably get part of your money back by selling them once you're healed.

Prolly not temporarily but I used my sling when I had that surgery!

By the way, there are a couple things you might want to practice "left handed" if you're "right handed". With a little thought I'll bet you can think of them!

I didn't until the need arose...

I use an Uncle Mike's Sidekick holster for my Kel-Tec P32 INWB appendix or right side just behind front pocket. Either way it's quite comfortable.

Safe and sane shooting everyone,

I think perhaps the best buy in a holster is Don Hume's JIT model. It is leather, very well made, fits like a glove, is plenty stiff for easy reholstering, and it costs only $23. What's not to like?

I personally think everything has a place. I love the nylon holsters and the kydex. I am allergic to most leathers (due to dye) and without these holsters I would have a hard time carrying.
