Side by Side Comparison of: UTG vs BladesUSA vs Amazon

Perfect for costuming purposes (SHIELD agent). I don’t know how well this works with a gun since I don’t own one, but it was fabulous for its intended purpose—storing car keys for my team members who have no utility belts and storing used tissues when my superhero group does a parade during cold season.

great holster for my son's costume get up. Once he is done with it I can use it since the build quality is good. Fast shipping.

My boyfriend used this as part of his Steve Zissou costume at a Wes Anderson themed party. Worked perfectly for the costume!

Can be adjusted to fit on your leg, has an additional strap to go on your belt and make sure it doesn't slip or fall.

It took me a bit to figure this all out, but otherwise this is easy to adjust, fit comfortably, and could fit a gun easy.

Let's start this out by saying that a.) This was for a cosplay, not actual tactical use and b.) I'm pretty small (5'3").I ordered this and the left-handed one for a Jake English cosplay (a character from a webcomic who uses dual pistols) and was a little wary about how adjustable they'd be considering that I'm short for the average woman, not to mention compared to guys.Happily, these adjust to as far as you need them to go without a problem.However, there's a small plastic piece on the leg straps that holds down the excess strap when adjusting it smaller, and it can make it difficult to actually adjust the length of the straps. I recommend un-threading the strap from half of the little piece, adjusting the length, and then re-threading the plastic thing to keep down extra strappage. It doesn't affect the length at all, so the extra 7.5-ish inches on the upper thigh strap that I pulled out could be completely flattened out. The top strap that attaches to the belt can also be adjusted.Note to cosplayers: You absolutely must buy a belt for it to attach to. I got the "Columbia Men's Military Style Belt" since the fabric matches well and can be cut down fairly easily if you're willing to spend the money and need a belt.It's also fairly comfortable, though some of the tension in the clips is pretty high, so I pinched myself a few times. The nylon is fairly comfortable, and so far hasn't chafed at all, though I haven't worn it to a con yet, so I don't know about extended use. I don't think, with adequately moisturized legs or skin-colored tights, that it would be a problem.

This holster stays on your leg just where you want it to be. The belts are comfortable and allow you to adjust them in accordance with your needs.

Seems very durable, the clips are a strong plastic, and they also clip together strongly. The gun fits in nicely. The straps, when adjusted, stay where you put them, securing the holster on your leg well. The front mag pouch is a bit small though, as is expected on any holster I have found.

Works well with my Deadpool costume. The one for my left leg does fit better than the right, so either my legs are different sizes or the holster is off. Its very minor and does not take away from the purpose of the product.

I ordered two of these awhile ago and they're absolutely perfect. I've been using them for my bowtie Jake English cosplay for abouttttt three years now? and they've held strong, I've worn them to several conventions, many meetups, and have generally run around in them a lot and they've kept my prop pistols perfectly safe. I love these things, though if you don't put them on right or tighten the straps correctly the straps will fall down but if you tighten it right you should be fine. Also be careful clipping the clips on them because it really hurts to have them pinch your thighs c; this is probably the best photo I have of them lol

These worked great for my black widow costume!!

only good things to say.>it fits my spring field xd40 with c5l viridian lazer under mounted + 1 15rnd magazine in the top pouch>i dont know how people said the straps dont fit... i leg press well over 1700lbs and am a weight liffting enthusiust... i have massive thighs and i still had to sinch down a little to get a no wobble fit.>stays while running... should have no problem fitting your kimbers and scorpion .45s>all my army buddies got one and havent had one break/ tear yet

Hard to adjust, which is a great thing because they won't adjust with vigorous movement..just tedious when first sizing them up. The reason I don't give 5 stars is due to the gun buckle. I feel like there could have been a better design. It's able to hold just about anything but upon putting the gun back after a draw, you have to move the buckle out of the way with your other hand.

Items is made of good quality, not damaged, no rips, tears etc. It a holster for small to medium size pistols. I do wish the legs straps were larger because I have big legs because its a tight fit.

Goes well with the UTG belt. I bought this to go with my Black Widow costume, since there were no holsters or guns. This holds a toy gun, about the size of a real gun. I don't bring my real ones out of the house.

Wrote another review on the other holster side. Overall great but tight on the legs.

I bought this to try with a Benjamin Trail NP Pistol. The pistol slid right in without any modifications needed. I have a UTG hip holster which I ripped the seams a little to get the BT to fit, but I didn't like the way it sat in the holster, plus the gun is so long the draw was awkward. However, this drop leg holster did not require any seams to be ripped and the gun is much better balanced and more natural to draw in this configuration.I'm 6', 185 lbs. The upper leg strap fits fine, but the lower one is a little bit tight with the strap all the way out. I don't have huge thighs, but I do bike a lot. I may sew in some extra 1.5" webbing to make the lower strap longer. The lower strap doesn't feel completely necessary, so I may also just opt to not use it.I just got it today so I'll have to put it though it's paces and report back, but I wanted to get it out there that the Benjamin Trail pistol easily fits and it's a better option than on your hip. I would imagine that a Crosman 1377/1322 would work just as well (if not it's still a good holster and you could probably mod it slightly to make it work. Overall the construction seems sturdy and well made. It's definitely made for large guns. Little guns would get lost in it.

shipped on time...ready for my costume party.....fits nice on my leg...i am 5' 4" so it did run big on my leg...but threw some high heel boots on and it took the short effect away immediately...It's a holster...it does what it's supposed to do...good price and pretty good quality...i was expecting a low quality material...but I am quite satisfied...I can surely reuse it again in the future with another costume...nothing broke..it adjusts well...handle it with care as you would any purchase you make, I say....

Hard to adjust, which is a great thing because they won't adjust with vigorous movement..just tedious when first sizing them up. The reason I don't give 5 stars is due to the gun buckle.

These are awesome but the straps kept slipping. Maybe I'm not used to these yet but wish the Lower buckle had as much adjustability as the top. Tough to get used to but overall LOVE these. They fit my guns perfect! Highly recommend but again wish the straps were more adjustable, but like I said.. maybe it's my legs LOL

Got this for my husband and he likes it. The only complaint he has is that it is a bit deep for his full size Beretta 40 caliber handgun. Fits his larger thigh very well.

Finally, a good holster for leftys.I bought this for use airsofting, although I haven't taken it into the field yet. But from what I can tell the construction is solid and should hold up.For adjusting the size of the thigh straps there is a good range to find a comfortable fit. There could be a little more room to adjust the belt strap so it would be shorter but as it is it'll work.I bought this to fit my airsoft kjworks co2 m1911, a slightly larger frame pistol, and the holster fits. The extra mag holder is a little tight and doesn't fully fit the mag and I'm afraid it might fall out with excess movement. However, it could be used to fit a BB speed loader.Lastly, the buckle and strap that secures the pistol to the holster is a little awkward. When the pistol is out of the holster the buckles naturally fall into the holster making it so to just simply drop the gun back in the holster (even unsnapped) require two hands.All in all, a solid leg holster for leftys.

i bought this to go around the column of my ford fusion center console, but it won't hold straight, vertical. the weight of the firearm makes the holster spin backwards and points it away from me and towards the steering wheel. if i angle it different, it spins forward and points the handle towards the floor.i ended up cutting off all the straps, and stuffing the holster between my seat and center console. one side of it is raised higher, facing the center console so it won't scratch the material of the center console.

This HOLSTER IS GOOD CONSIDERING THE PRICE. On the positive side this product comes with the features as advertised, has a fair overall fit, and it relatively at a good price. On the negative side the this product (at least the one that I own) has a badly designed strap to lock the firearm in place. Also negative are the thigh straps and buckles; though they hold during various movements they need to occasionally be retightened. To add to this the straps are thigh straps are rather short (I am about medium height; 5'8", and slim; 120 lb.) and somewhat loss as mentioned before. Again overall this product is a good buy considering the price, however my advice: save a bit more (+/- 10USD) and buy a better quality holster (though you may be hard-pressed to find a better quality and priced left handed holster. Happy hunting!

Same review as holster for the left side!! Ok for halloween costume but it kept sliding down my leg and not staying put, and I didn't want to tighten it any more than it was and risk cutting off the circulation in my leg!

I bot a matching set of these (left and right) because I need them for a costume. I did not want two different models, as I already own a nice condor drop leg holster. These are good basic holsters. They will fit every handgun I own. The release buckle is a little clunky, but you aren't going to use this for quick access anyway. The biggest problem I have is with the second leg strap. It is not long enough if you have large thighs. I have this extended as far down as it can go from the waist, and have the second leg strap extended as far as it will go and it just barely fits. This setting also has the second strap just above my knee as that's the thinnest part of my thigh. Since I'm only using these for a costume it's not that big of a deal. The price is also pretty cheap so that helps as well. But if you have big thighs, you are going to need a different holster.

I purchased this holster and the one for my other leg for a Black Widow cosplay and I'll admit the only thing that disappointed me was that the "fully adjustable" straps just did not fit my thighs. I'm 5'5 and 135 pounds (give or take) and so I was shocked how poorly that they fit around my thighs. And my right one was 2 inches shorter than the left so it was way too small! Luckily I was able to cut and see in additional fabric for the straps so they could extend more to fit around my thigh but I find it incredibly disappointing. Also every time I say or crouched for a picture one of them would pop open and I would have to click it back together around my thigh.

I purchased this for an airsoft pistol, and I would rate this holster lower if I had intended it for serious use. I read another review that commented on the length of the lower strap, and they weren't kidding! I actually had to go to Home Depot and buy a nylon tool belt so that I could add nearly a foot to the lower strap. Also, the snaps are on the outside, as are many universal holsters of this nature. Again, for something like Airsoft, it doesn't matter. However, if you are looking for a holster for personal protection carry, do yourself a favor and buy a proper fitted holster for your pistol. You want one that snaps next to your person (like a police holster) so that the action of grabbing the grip will also function to release the snap.

Bought this mainly as part of a tactical Halloween costume, but I found that it fit my Glock 19, so I kept it. I also purchased this holster in conjunction with the LEFT handed tactical holster from the same company. This holster has a good look and feel to it. Decent size and can fit well with vaious makes and models of 9 mm, 40, or 45 caliber semi auto hand guns. Comprised of Nylon, reinforced plastic belt and leg connectors. The interior of the holster does NOT have a fitted/reinforced plastic frame, however, this leaves the holster able to stretch and fit a variety of handguns. Also has a spare magazine pouch attached.Con: Not the sturdiest of holsters. It would be nice if there were an instuctional diagram with pictures to demonstrate how to connect and utilize the holster properly.Overall: I recommend this holster

Leg straps are small.... BUT. I doubt it's as bad as many hear claim. It takes some doing to adjust the straps and I suspect a lot are not doing that correctly. When i first opened the packaged, I was furious I could not get holster to fit. But, with some work, I realized what I was doing wrong. Take the buckles off completely before adjusting! Still, This is not likely to fit a signifigantly bigger man's leg, but I'm short and thin but I'm also a serious cyclist with tree trunk thighs and legs which makes any and all pants/ leg accessories, and belts that fit hard to find. With a lot of finigling, I got this to fit well. It's a decent quality build for under $15. The real problem here is that it's a huge holster. I wear it for costuming purposes, but I would never EVER actually use this for actual carry. I work in security on the side and the holster is too big for my full sized Glock 27 and still loose on a Taurus 357 magnum with a 4 inch barrell. This holster might fit a Desert Eagle or a larger 45 allright, but beyond that, it's not practical in any sense.

Too large for a 1911. It sits real deep inside. I fixed it by sewing up the holster to close it up more.Not for large legs. My waist is 31 and I'm pretty slim. The bottom leg strap fits perfectly but has to be lengthened completely.

The holsters (I bought Right and Left handed) are great, but the adjustment on them for your leg is far too small.The lower strap as large as it would go barely gets around my lower thigh, and is far too tight for practicality.Would be nice if they had an larger adjustment (I am NOT a large man with Giant legs. I'm 6'1" 220Lbs, average build."

These are really nice quality holsters, though I did have trouble with the adjustable straps. Maybe it's just me, but those were really difficult to get adjusted. That's partly why it only gets 3 stars. The other part being that it doesn't stay adjusted. I fitted the damn thing, got it all adjusted for length, and then around my thigh, but then when I went to put it on a few days later, it had loosened up by a lot.

Don't get me wrong its a great idea, I am 5'3 100 pounds and wanted to use this for airsoft and halloween, but if your 5"5 150 pounds or smaller I wouldn't get this, I have a metal revolver I tried putting in it and it slugged down because my thighs are skinny, Hopefully I can use it in the future but its a great design with great comfortability (Not for kids product too big)

First of all, I was not very hopeful it would fit my pistol (ruger 22/45 MK III Target) - this was confirmed upon delivery. I am not giving this thing 3 starts because it did not fit my pistol. I am giving it three stars because I could not get it to sit well on my thigh (with a pistol that fit). It was either too tight and uncomfortable or it would continue to slide down and thus become too loose.I believe a holster with elastic thigh straps would do the trick. Still, for this price there is still some value I believe.

Way too small wont even wrap around my leg and im a pretty small guy.Plus its way to big for a medium gun and it is in no way quick release. Probably good for cosplay but thats about it.

The straps on this don't even come CLOSE to fitting. I wanted to wear this up by my hip. Instead, this sat on my CALF. I'm VERY disappointed. This would fit on a child... The quality of the product is great, though... God, I wish it fit.

The reviews that say it are small are pretty spot on. This is more of a womans/kid's size holster. The top strap was so small even fully extended it wouldn't wrap around my thigh. The lower one fit, but very tightly. I cut the top straps off completely and it still carries Very snug. The bottom of the holster is pretty wide, so smaller guns will slip down in there a little to far. You can stitch the bottom or stuff it to fill it in.If you're using this as a kids or woman's cosplay item, it's ok for the price. (this is the 2 stars, otherwise it's a 1 star). If you need functionality, don't get it.

Let me start of by saying this was for a REAL gun. Im not sure if airsoft guns run larger then real guns but this holster is HUGE. I wanted something cheap since i wouldn't use it often. I was looking to use this for when i was at my camp in the Adirondacks and animals are a large worry and when hiking or hunting. however none of my guns fit in this. Now i didnt expect my XDS or G27 to fit snugly cause there sub compacts. but my compact Ruger sr40c was way to small. my full size 22 revolver was way to small, and my M9 that i purchased this for didnt fit. It actually fell down into it and the barrel was sticking out the bottom 2 inches. My M9 is a full size hand gun that didn't come close to fitting. In fact my Ruger SR40c with my larger streamlight tac light attach was still to small for this holster. I could honestly see putting a sawed of 12g in this.

Overall, I'm not terribly impressed with this holster, even for less than $15. It is VERY large (my Taurus PT-24/7, similar in size and build to a Glock 22) floats around freely and the retainer strap won't tighten down enough to hold it in place. Speaking of the retainer straps, it has a pinch-to-release buckle, which is VERY slow to deploy. Velcro or a snap would have been much better. On top of that, the leg straps aren't long enough. I don't have chicken legs, but I'm not huge either, and these straps have to be at their very longest to be even remotely comfortable. Even at that length, they are pretty tight and end up working their way down toward my knee, which pulls my belt (and pants) down with it. The drop-down strap is a huge pain to adjust, and excess tail of the strap dangles down over the gun, potentially causing a tangle or getting in the way of a secure grip on the firearm. The construction seems pretty sketchy as well. The holster itself isn't very rigid, and most of the straps don't stay secure at any given length.The only thing this really has going for it is price. I like the extra magazine pocket and the loop buckle that allows you to put the holster on and off without undoing your belt, but beyond that, there isn't much for redeeming qualities. If you just need this for a costume or for an airsoft war, then it might be fine, but for real use, I'd steer clear of this piece.

i got this holster because i thought it would be better than my current holster. its ok i guess but the leg straps really are short like many other reviews mention, im 5'10 170 lbs and the straps barely fit around my legs fully adjusted, but they did fit, and the holster fits comfortably with the gun at a comfortable height to grab with my hand. now for the negative, i carry a Taurus pt100 which it almost the exact size of the Beretta 92, its a very large gun and it still fits sloppy in the holster. when you look at the picture there are two little black things that look like buttons for the back-strap, those are actually rivets, the back-strap actually is held together with stupid little plastic clip. so instead of one fluid motion to draw your weapon it is two. not only that because the gun fits so loose the strap has to be fully adjusted to hold the gun down. i put my gun back in the old hip holster, maybe one day ill buy another leg holster but definitely not this one

Kept falling even when strapped on right. It even broke:/

not as well made as I would have hoped for, would spend more money for a better quality. may be ok for airsoft would not buy for a 45apc

Did not stay strapped around my leg and they were not big enough to fit around my thigh. Which is ridiculous because I am 5'8 at 155... They should be staying.

I bought it for my sons costume this is a cosplay at best, don't buy it if you think you can use it for real.

I bought this holster based on reading the reviews.....I returned it based on my hands on evaluation. I bought it for use with my FNH FNX40, the gun pretty much disappears into the holster making it difficult to draw. The retention strap kept loosening up everytime I undid the buckle an drew the gun. I read reviews that stated the leg straps were too short, and some that said they had large thighs and the straps were fine. Well obviously there is a lot of inconsistency in the manufacturing, I have average size thighs and both straps were too short. I had to adjust both straps to the limit and the bottom strap was way too tight. For those of you looking for a thigh holster for anything other than a toy gun, stay away from this one.

I don't like loose or flapping gear...and this was both. I wanted a solid leg holster, and this always slid down, felt awkward, and the weapon bounces around excessively. I wanted to use it for my full size Glock and I'd nearly lose the pistol inside of the holster. The holster is huge and will fit nearly anything you've got. If you want to "look cool", then get this. If you want to be comfortable, quickly draw your weapon or move around naturally, then don't get this. I tightened the straps as tight as humanly possible and it still wouldn't ride right on my thigh. All in all, not a holster I'd stake my life on if I needed to get to my weapon.Edit: Even when using the belt strap, this thing slides around. I don't like the pulling on my belt and the additional pulling above my knee when you try and walk because it has slid down. I'm 5'9" and this annoyed the bejeebies out of me constantly. And it jiggles--I want it snug on my thigh, not wagging in the wind.

These holsters SUCK. I adjust them for the largest length and they still cannot fit me. I am not a large person, I'm 5'10" with above average build and it was a super tight fit and that was without jeans. I'd hate to wear them with actual pants. Not comfortable at all.I feel like these holsters would only fit a very thin male or a female. I do not recommend these for the bad design of adjustable straps.

Junk. The leg straps are to short. My glock 23 fits in it like a trash bag. Would not recommend. Thought it would be good because I've picked up a few UTG products and been happy. The winning streak is over. Gave it one star because I can't find a way to give it less.

Didn't fit, even the tightest setting fell loose off my thigh. So sad and disappointed :(

THIS IS JUNK!!!! COMPLETE GARBAGE!!!!!!!!

Even though it is cheap, not really worth your money. I am an average size guy, I weigh 195 lbs. and I can't get the straps big enough to fit around my leg in a position that is comfortable. The leg straps also just slip down and then it is hanging by the belt strap which just pulls on your pants. It also says in the description "removable belt strap" it does not come off (blatant lie). It is cool looking when its on (for about 4 steps), but not functional what-so-ever. Spend a little more money on something that will work properly. NOT RECOMMENDED!!!

This holster is worthless, it's way oversized even for a full size 1911, as you can see the gun does not fit snug at all the barrel sticks out of the end about two inches. It actually goes so far in the holster it's hard to retrieve. The snaps for the quick release are garbage, broke one snap after a single use.

This product was not sized and was so short in length that it would not fit. The low rating was given because short strap size for leg was not advertised. If longer straps had been used, it would have a five star rating. It was well constructed.

I'm about 5ft8,168 pounds did not fit my leg. This would fit someone more smaller and slim.

Too small. Didn't come close to being able to wrap around my leg.

I have big thighs and this thing didn't even go over half of my thigh. If it had a longer adjustment strap on the top and bottom, it would have been a great product.

Product broke the first time I used it. Very cheap and the strap that holds the gun in the holster isn't attached anymore.
