Purpose-Built for Long-Barreled Double-Action Revolvers
Carrying a revolver with a 7" to 8-1/2" barrel is a different experience than carrying a compact handgun. You need a holster that supports the length, manages weight, and keeps the firearm stable as you walk, climb, ride, or work outdoors. The Uncle Mike’s Sidekick Hip Holster is designed for that purpose—accommodating medium and large frame double-action revolvers in the longer barrel range while providing a practical hip-carry format.
Why correct revolver holster sizing matters:
Better stability and less shifting during movement
Improved comfort over long carry periods
Cleaner draw stroke without binding or snagging
More secure retention compared to “universal” fits
If you’ve struggled with long-barrel carry, a properly sized holster can make your revolver feel far more manageable in the field.
Hip Holster Carry: Accessible and Comfortable Outdoors
A hip holster remains one of the most practical ways to carry a larger revolver—especially for hunting or outdoor use. It keeps the firearm accessible, supports a natural draw motion, and can be easier to wear with outdoor clothing. For many users, a hip holster is the ideal compromise between accessibility and comfort when carrying a full-size revolver all day.
Benefits of hip carry for long revolvers:
Natural draw position for right-handed shooters
Accessible while standing and walking
Comfortable for field use compared to pocket or waistband carry
Works well with outdoor belts and gear setups
Whether you’re on a range line or deep in the woods, hip carry keeps the revolver ready without forcing awkward positioning.
Tie-Down Loop Included: Added Stability When Moving
One of the standout features of this model is the included tie-down loop, designed to help stabilize the holster during active movement. This is especially useful when carrying a longer-barreled revolver, where extra length and weight can cause a holster to shift or bounce during hiking, climbing, or working around vehicles and terrain.
Why a tie-down loop matters:
Helps reduce holster movement during walking or running
Improves draw consistency by keeping the rig positioned
Adds comfort by reducing swing and bounce
Useful for hunters and outdoor users covering long distances
For field carry, stability is everything—and the tie-down loop helps keep your setup feeling secure.
Black Finish: Classic, Discreet, and Practical
Finished in black, the Sidekick Hip Holster maintains a clean, classic look that pairs well with most outdoor clothing and gear. Black holsters also tend to blend discreetly with belts, jackets, and carry setups, keeping your rig practical and low-profile.
Designed for Right-Hand Draw
This model is built for right-hand use, offering a familiar access pattern for most shooters. A dedicated right-hand holster supports a more consistent draw angle and better day-to-day comfort compared to ambidextrous or improvised carry solutions.
Right-hand design advantages:
Natural draw motion and consistent access
Better fit and positioning for right-handed users
Ideal for hunting rigs and outdoor belt setups
Ideal Uses: Hunting, Range, Outdoors, and Utility Carry
The Uncle Mike’s Sidekick 81041 is an excellent match for:
Hunting with long-barreled revolvers
Backcountry carry and outdoor protection (where legal)
Range use for longer DA revolvers
Ranch and property work where a revolver is a practical tool
Shooters who want a stable carry option with a tie-down
If you own a longer revolver and want a carry option that supports real movement and real use, this holster is built for the job.
