Sticky Holsters SM-5, Concealment Holster for Men and Women, Fits Small-Sized Autos, Ambidextrous Design, Inside Waist Band (IWB) and Pocket Carry

There is nothing different from this holster to other pocket holsters that I've had as far as printing. Where it truly stands out is it's namesake. The holster actually stays in your pocket when drawing. That is amazing! The overall quality of the holster is fabulous. Thick yet lightweight material indicates that it will last a long time.

I just received the Sticky Holster for my Sig Sauer P365 handgun today. It seems to be of great quality with somewhat of a sticky feeling on the outside and with a smooth textured lining on the inside. I ordered the SM-5 size ambidextrous holster as was recommended by the Sticky Holster website for my particular firearm. The firearm fits nicely into the holster and covers I would say about 98% of the pistol grip. There is very little chance that you can accidentally discharge the weapon with this holster in your pocket if you withdraw it properly. I would argue that even if you carry a holster inside your waistband and if you are careless with drawing the weapon from the holster you could also discharge the firearm accidentally. As all of you who own firearms know that they are dangerous and it is up to you to ensure your own safety and the safety of others. Just to let you know that my P365 has the safety on it which gives me a little extra added security as far as pocket carry is concerned. The first thing I did was to insert the holster with a handgun into the pocket of my cargo style shorts. There was some printing but not that noticeable and I was able to draw my handgun from the holster with little effort while the holster stayed in the pocket. I was fairly pleased with the result. I then put on a pair of Urban jeans and did the same thing as I did with the shorts. It fits in the pocket and there was somewhat of a more profound printing and you could tell there was something in the pocket but still one would have to guess what it was. I then proceeded to draw my P365 from the pocket and a handgun came out fairly smoothly and the holster remained in the pocket. As far as the printing is concerned, I think you would be hard-pressed to find a holster that does not have some degree of printing with a handgun while wearing jeans. Even my Ruger LCP11 with holster leaves some printing when I am pocket carrying. As far as I am concerned I feel fairly confident pocket carrying my P365 with this holster while either wearing jeans or shorts. To some things up as far as pocket carry is concerned, I am happy with this purchase. A little note for those of you that like to carry inside the waistband, this holster would work very nicely for you also.

With the correct pocket, this is the best way I have found to carry a small weapon. I have a Sig P 365 and it works great in this holster. It's not a quick draw like a waistband holster, but I'm not Matt Dillon with a hog leg either. But with the correct pocket I can use this holster and forget I'm carrying anything. I'm now only buying pants that have a pocket in the correct position to use this thing. Definitely not for blue jeans.

I’ve had this sticky holster for two years now and use it for my EDC in my waistband, pocket, purse, fanny pack, etc. I’ve had 3 different CCW pistols and it fit all three of them easily including a Kimber micro 9, a SW CSX, and a Hellcat. It’s super slim, adds almost no bulk at all unlike my kydex, and is easy and smooth to pull from. It’s built to last because it still looks and works like new. This is my most versatile holster and I highly recommend it. I’m 5’ tall with a short torso and petite frame. Concealing is hard enough for me as it is so the sleek design of this holster is absolutely necessary.

I purchased this pocket concealed carry holster for my Sig p365, and I have to say, it does fit perfectly as stated in the description. The holster is well-made and does an excellent job of keeping my firearm secure and concealed in my pocket. One thing that I did notice, however, is that the holster isn't as "sticky" as some other brands I've tried in the past. While this isn't necessarily a bad thing, it does mean that the holster can slide around a bit in my pocket, which can be a little inconvenient at times. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase of this pocket concealed carry holster. It does exactly what it's designed to do - keep my firearm secure and concealed - and it fits my Sig p365 perfectly. While it's not quite as "sticky" as some other brands I've tried, it's still a reliable and well-made holster that I would recommend to others looking for a convenient and effective way to carry their firearm.

This is a great holster for pocket carry but I actually use it in the waistband on my back side. I had never even thought of using a sticky holster for appendix carry until a couple of months ago. After trying it out, it's now my favorite way to carry. I tested it out and found it to be comfortable, but more importantly very retentive. Other pocket holsters wouldn't work - at least not well - for this, but Sticky holsters are "sticky" enough that your gun isn't going anywhere. You could technically even use it in elastic waistbands, but I wouldn't recommend in the even that you need to run. with belted pants, though, the sticky holster is held in multiple places - against your body/undergarments and against your pants and belt. Very comfortable, very secure, and incredibly easy to "holster up." It's obviously a tradeoff as there are without a doubt more secure holsters on the market, but it's hard to beat for convenience, comfort, and versatility (not to mention value). Cons would be that one must be wary when removing your pants (i.e. using the bathroom). most holsters require extra care here, but additional caution is necessary since there is no clip retention. As previously mentioned, there are other options that are more secure, but I personally find the Sticky holster's pros outweigh the cons. I should mention that for me, the largest pistol I've carried in a Sticky holster inside the waistband is a Sig P365. A larger pistol may not work as well in this set up. Smaller pistols (i.e. LCP-sized pistols) carry in this configuration so well as to be unnoticeable even after a long day.

fits like a glove, keep my 380 in place

Desantis makes top quality pocket holsters. This SM5 is no exception. Inside belt is comfortable and minimal bulge. Inside pocket you will need to feel that the holster hooks and allows gun to leave behind the holster thus freeing the gun in your hand. I am pleased with my purchase. PS PRACTICE all the fundamentals until your mind does everything automatically. Desantis model Y8Z0 is in my humble opinion a better choice for inside pants front pocket. The Y8Z0 is also Glock 42 specific. I own both. The SM5 for IWB & Y8Z0 for front pocket. Best choices for both carry locations.
