Wow, look at that grip. High, well-wrapped, text-book perfect.
The stance, too, reasonably aggressive, head up (gun brought to head, not head to gun).
She looks like a champion. 🙂
Think I’ll saving that photo for instructional purposes.

I often see people dismissing all Uncle Mike’s products as junk…I think this is sort of like dismissing a knife shop because they’ve got a few pieces of cheap Pakistani steel in there…yes they’ve got some cheaper stuff that’s not high quality, but that’s often where they see a lot of business.
Similarly, yes Uncle Mike’s has some cheap nylon gear that many don’t believe is worthwhile, but I’ve had some really good luck with some of their products. Their very basic ‘kydex’ holster (actually injection molded I think…picked up on clearance) had a ridiculously tight grip on the pistol, and for some reason the ‘adjustable’ screws were loctited in place. Cracked the loctite, and I ended up with a minimal holster that I’ve used well in competition.
Plus…LOVE their reflex holster design. Fabulous retention with such a simple way for a shooter to remove it.
There seem to be a lot of headlines on this website that mention Jessie Duff
I have an uncle mike leg holster that’s been in use for 20 years…it’s a wonder that this simple holster has lasted this long with daily use from a detective special and now a ruger LCR. How long will this last?I’ll just keep using this rig then I’ll give you notice when the time comes that it will finally give way. I hope gun nuts will still be around by then!
Like anything else, it depends on your usage, care of product and personal comfort. I have 4 different size soft-side IWB holsters from Uncle Mike’s and one belt slide leather; they are all lasting extremely well, 4+ years now.
Very glad to see a woman achieve the GM rating! Hoping for that one day meself :P~. Yep, perfect stance. Need to print and carry to range for example! On another note, wonder if NE1 here can put me on path to Bianchi Cup. Want pistol recommendations, and preferred steps to take to get there…A dude emailed me the qual links and stuff like that. Dunno if that was here or not right now…at any rate, want all the advice I can garner from people who shoot competition pistol. Prolly ought to go watch the Bianchi cup next year too….Okies, congrats to Jessie Duff!!! Best wishes to ALL of u here! Peace & Blessings 🙂 OUT. ~S~
