This product doesn’t work for him because his waist is bigger than his shoulders it doesn’t work for large men he should look into the fat guy holster appendix carry it’s on RUclips the only reason he doesn’t demonstrate how it really goes down his pants instead of showing you how things don’t work is because a big guy cannot use this product because he’s making himself look like an idiot
This we can agree on. This holster is terrible. A friend has one and he has dumped his gun on the ground with it even in a normal setting. Can't imagine trying to reliably use this in an active situation.
What a concept to have a slot to hold your CCW card behind your pistol. "Yes Officer, of course I have my CCW legal concealed pistol on me. Let me show you." I reach for my gun, then meet Jesus.
Active Self Protection Extra love your channel! I live in Mesa and open carry (I know you don't recommend it) a 40. Main reason I open carry is it's such a huge gun I can't find any conceal holsters for this cheap hunk of reliability lol
@@D-Rock420 which gun Vedder holsters makes alot of custom holsters left or right handed and there comfortable and not too expensive and they make your holster per order
I would agree that the holster is not worth purchasing however you should have actually attempted to use the holster on your belt with a firearm in it to illustrate your point. This is like giving your thumbs down on a gun without ever having shot the actual gun.
I just didn't add the actual draws because they show nothing. They show me tugging at a flap, but don't show why. I showed why and that's the important part.
Don’t worry John, everyone else got why you didn’t need to demonstrate it. Do you also have to physically demonstrate why pointing a loaded gun at your face isn’t safe?? LOL
I have one for my MP shield and I love it. But of course mine is the second generation one that uses magnets that makes a big difference. So yes it’s not the best holster but I do like it.
In the first place, the holster is designed to carry the firearm completely concealed. Your VP9's buttstock was still sticking out, which means that holster wasn't specifically designed for that gun. To be fair, you'd have to get the gun that the holster was specifically designed for, which you obviously didn't have. The glock was too small, which means the holster was probably designed for a gun whose size was in between those two guns. If you get the correct size holster for the firearm you're carrying, (which Urban Carry REQUIRES you to do before you order the holster), your firearm WILL be securely held and completely concealed. In the second place, the holster DOES conceal the trigger and trigger guard completely. That's undebatable, just by looking at it. In the third place, it CAN be drawn sitting down, if fitted properly and containing the firearm it was specifically designed for. Watch the vides on the Urban Carry site! It can be drawn one-handed, with your shirt in or out, standing or sitting, and even if you're large or skinny. Yes, it covers the trigger guard. Yes, it allows reliable access and holds the gun securely. It's all about getting the correct gun and the holster designed specifically for that gun.
@@ratataran exactly. How secure does it have to be for normal everyday activity? I wouldn't exactly go jogging with that holster, but otherwise, it's a great product with a great design.
What are your thoughts on this guys review? ruclips.net/video/Jp2BdXmDd3k/видео.html He spent some time with it, and you have not. Idk how you can even review anything without even trying it. That's like telling me your car has 500hp without putting it on the dyno.
I use a urban carry g3 and I like it. Gen 3 worked out alot of the issues of the original urban carry. They have a magnetic retention system at the bottom of the holster that keeps the gun secure. I've trained with the draw and can get a good grip everytime. Drawing from a seated position isn't hard if you lean back slightly, which I can do because I'm pretty fit. And as far as people asking about a cell phone case, I worked for 2 years in sales, seeing dozens of people a day while wearing my urban carry. I only had 1 person say he recognized the holster. No body asked me what I was wearing. Most people aren't that observant I've found. If I got into an brawl, I'd want my current urban carry holster. It keeps my gun hidden and extremely hard to access if you're not the user.
Is that an older version of the urban carry? Because when I go to their website it asks which gun is it for because you need to purchase the holster made for that exact gun.
I love the urban carry holster. I keep my Siracha sauce in it so I’m never without. As a condiment carry, its outstanding. As a gun carrier, it’s crap. They sure market it as efficient, but it’s proved otherwise.
It's a "universal fit" so you could carry the Army's Standardized Food Purification Kit... a tin of Black Pepper and Frank's RedHot Sauce! This makes it a reasonable "Prepper's To Go Kit" for those "just in case" scenarios. Because EVERYONE knows you can make almost anything edible if you put enough Black Pepper and Frank's Red Hot Sauce on it.
I really like my gen 1 Urban Carry holster. I have been using it for 2 years now. Why? 1. It allows me to carry the gun concealed that would be more difficult with other holsters. 2. With practice I have been able to become proficient in quick drawing the gun. 3. Nobody seems to notice it. 4. It holds the gun very securely. Unlike as stated in the video, the holsters come in different sizes to fit different sized guns. The leather is very nice and soon conforms to the shape of your gun. Hey, guy in the video, you seem to think you are pretty sharp on everything holsters. Here is a news flash, the holsters magnets are not meant to engage the way you showed it. Of course it doesn't secure the gun when you don't configure it properly. Note: I'll bet my underwear don't fit right either if I put them on upside down. 5. My gut does not overhang my belt so the the draw from a seated position is not a problem for me. 6. It is a lot more comfortable especially when seated than an IWB. I carry an H&K P30SK which is a double stack 9mm so the gun is a little thicker than some and it still works pretty well. I'm not a very big guy, 5'9", 155lbs and the holster/gun combo works well. The reason for my post is that there may be quite a few people out there like me that would find this holster (especially the newer and improved one) to be very likable but because you don't seem to know how to use the holster, are not giving it a realistic review. And yet you seem to be so sure of what you are saying.
Even granting that the old design clearly had some issues and a lot of room for improvement this "review" was complete garbage. At no point does he actually put the holster on and demonstrate how good or bad it actually is. Nobody viewing this can take anything of value out of it because all they saw was a guy talking about theoretical issues in some random person's opinion apparently based on nothing more than looking at the item. Put the god damn thing on and demonstrate it working or not working. I'm not interested in watching a ten minute video of somebody telling me how terrible something is they haven't even actually tested.
That is your opinion, most reviews are positive on the urban carry holsters. So that is what I would base my opinion on is positive reviews, and a lot of them.
I agree it’s not a great holster. I will say though that you have the older model and the wrong size. They come in different sizes and the new one has a magnet built in to prevent the gun from falling out.
no the magnet is to hold the gun in the second model. There is the one for the flap and another at the base for the gun. Either way i said i still think its not a great holster.
Thank you for your video. IMHO, I have to say that my Urban Carry (UC) holds my S&W 9mm Shield with a Crimson Trace on the rail perfectly. The new UC models have a magnet that securely holds the weapon in place, even when my Shield is in the full-draw position. I can attest that, despite my monster-size hands, I can draw my Shield standing or sitting (even in my car) fairly quickly. As quickly as a belt holster, no, but pretty quickly none-the-less. I can get a safe firing grip with my Shield right in the holster. By pulling the holster all the way up, the weapon almost naturally comes into my hand. Granted, it is normally a two handed draw, left hand to bring the holster up and then my right to draw my Shield. I have practiced drawing one-handed, as Urban Carry advertises and it is easy enough to do, especially with the magnet in the new holsters. Living in the People's Republic of Seattle where people run around screaming like little children if they even think they see a firearm, max concealability is important. By ordering the correct size for your weapon and getting the new model that securely locks the weapon in place with the magnet, I think many people would find it a suitable carry method. Ideal, no....suitable yes. What I appreciate most is that I can wear it with any shirt, even a tucked in T-shirt and the magnetic belt clip is really innocuous. Nobody has ever asked me what it is, since we all seem to be carrying around stuff, like phone cases, on our belts these days. As far as printing, which is always a concern when CCW, I keep mine in the appendix carry position at about 1 o'clock and can wear it all day without anyone noticing. I keep my keys and other small stuff in my right front pocket and the weapon is quite well concealed behind my pocket. The leather softens up over time to the point I literally don't feel my Shield all day long. After being out all day, I've come home and even forgotten to take it off until bed time. Is it the fastest draw....no. However, it is always be with me, no matter how I'm dressed, which can be as important as having another rig that may be more challenging to conceal. I do have an IWB hard shell holster that I will wear if I know I'm going to covered all day and not wearing clothing that's going to print.
They now have a G3 with a retention mechanism. If you decide to give it a look over, I think a lot of comments have expressed that they actually want to see you try to use it. I agree with them, that it would really illustrate the issues better if you're demonstrating the struggles of trying to pull that flap up.
To each their own man I am in love with my G2 urban carry holster. I have never had an issue with it flying out. With all holsters it just takes constant training. Not saying its the best by any means but still it gets the job done for me at the end of the day. Just my $0.02
@@zyzzuschrist3410 Man your comment is what's wrong with the gun community. Sure clown him for the urban carry but to clown him about what firearm he uses to protect him and his family makes you look like a self centered snob. I bet you make fun of high point owners too I'm guessing?
I have the newest one that fits my Glock 19 well. I purchased it for one very niche purpose: deep concealment carry at work. I want to add a trigger guard with lanyard. For a regular holster I would not recommend it, however for the explicit purpose of keeping my tool on me at my job it was the only option. My uniform is a tucked, pretty skin tight shirt and black cargo pants.
But does it make the gun actually useful? Having a gun on you isn't being able to use it. I can have a gun on my person that is useless for self-defense.
Well, John...being a full- figured gentleman myself I put a lot of credence in the issues and products that you discuss in your videos. An added bonus is you always put a smile on this 71 year old face. Thanks so much.
They have made alot of changes to include: a metal clip for your belt, a magnet for the pistol, and different sizes to fit a variety of firearms. They've came along way since the first generation. I personally own one and while I don't use it everyday, it has its purpose if I'm wearing clothes where a can't use a traditional iwb.
Oh but John. They added a magnet in the new model to hold the gun a little more secure. You tube full of videos where upon the draw folks were launching the firearm across the room. Still a hot WPBSF.
Jon Kentucky you may want to check out some SOB ( Sheriff of Baghdad) holsters. He has some deep conceal holsters that are nice for suits or if you really want to conceal the gun.
Steven Llewellyn thank you for the mention, I will check that out. I really like my Urban Carry G2 tbh, if you practice with it a bit (the caveat for everything gun related) the urban carry gives a great amount of concealment and is pretty easy to operate but they're a little pricey and the cadet is just a hair too small now that I've swapped to a Sig P320 (carry) for my edc
I have the V2 Urban Carry. It works perfectly fine for my Sig P229. I can reliably draw just fine, at speed. There ares some good improvements. Is it my primary carry holster? NO. It is not ideal as a holster, but it allows me to carry a full-sized firearm in many pairs of cloths that my normal conceal carry holster would not allow, so I frequently swap it in for those cases. A lot of your complaints are fixed in the V2 holster. There is a strong magnet in the base that holds the gun so it is far less likely to come out. There is a set of magnets in the flap so that this also stays shut until you want it to open. When you pull the flap up to release the gun, it now opens farther (I assume as I don't have the V1 but your video would seem to indicate), and relies on the magnet to retain the gun. It securely retains the firearm, and allows you access, and I have thoroughly tested this. To test, I unloaded my SIg P229, pulling the holster all the way up to the "worst possible scenario" and shook it vigorously and while jumping up and down next to my bed. I was unable to dislodge the firearm by accident.
Hey John I made my first order from lucky Gunner, spoke with David over there and I Told him That I got to them because of your channel. Keep up the great! work!
I have the new urban carry it was a nice smooth transition every time also had a magnet down in the holster and held my fire arm only thing I hated about it is that you couldn’t draw from a seated position
Sorry John, I have to disagree with you on this one. I've had my Urban Carry holster for a year now and love it. The improved design has the belt clip AND a large magnet to hold my 9mil securely in the holster. It was sold as a direct fit for my firearm and I can draw it easily from a seated position by merely arching my back a bit as I draw. (Which is a natural movement if someone is faced with a threat) It is not meant to be a "universal" holster.
I have a current version, G3. I use from time to time for my PX4 subcompact. I basically use it for deep concelment situations. The G3 comes in a few various sizes. Better fits that way. Also there is a locking mechanism inside. An adjustable retention clip that grabs the trigger guard. Overall far better than the one in the video. But not ideal. Normally I use an IWB but still keep the G3 in my bag for if I need it.
I have a G3 too. I work at a place that kind of forces me to deep conceal, so I like it in that regard. I only practice one hand drawing with it and find it to be quite adequate. It's also extremely comfortable whereas most other IWB holsters I have tried have not been good for the amount of standing and sitting I do. This works well for both which guarantees I will carry everyday.
I would have imagined that holster review would have included a demonstration since you’re on a video platform. I don’t doubt your veracity, but you have to know that the lack of inclusion casts doubt on the rigor of your method at least when it would have been so easy to do fo a video journalist in his own studio.
Your demo was like watching a chef doing a taste test on a cupcake he sees on TV. Demo wearing it and drawing it. A Wretched, Pulsating Ball of Suck and Fail video
When you actually purchase the holster they have different sizes for different guns. If you get the right size it will not flop out at all. And as far as being able to draw in time or while sitting down, this holster is only for people who have to have their firearm 100% concealed where it's either this or go unarmed (ie: carrying at work in office clothes against policy, etc.). I own this holster and I think it's absolutely wonderful for that purpose. And if you're uncomfortable not having a more solid trigger guard then just buy a mic holster/guard and problem solved. Also, the one in this video is an extremely old version. It's been greatly improved since then.
Kydex may be hard but I love the custom fit, coverage of trigger guard and ease of drawing the gun out. I have no problem concealing and I feel my gun is secure and readily available.
What gen is it? Because the G3 (assuming you get the right size, they have a thing on their website to help) covers the trigger completely even when you pull the leather back, retention well there's a magnet and the leather is pretty stiff and it can't go anywhere when it's 'closed' and same place when 'opened'. it won't win a quick draw contest but that's not it's application, so what gen is it because it seems like they really improved it from what looks like a g1.
"wretched, pulsating ball of suck and fail" = brilliant; plenty of solid holster options that support fundamentals and consistent purchase and deployment
Bohol Snowman try looking for a second this guy might be "fluffy" but I'd bet my life he's a faster, more accurate and more experienced shooter then you
Have a Blackhawk Special Operation holster. Hold is Secure, past the trigger guard and it’s a universal holster that doesn’t suck. The only down side is the flap that connects to your belt gets in the way of a full grasp of the firearm. I end up having to half grab it then after it’s unholstered full grasp.😔 still awesome holster tho👍
I purchased this g2 holster from Urban Carry Holster recently and I have been trying to return it for a full refund. I am not getting any response back from the company. I have sent emails and I have left a voice mail. Customer service is horrible and the product is horrible.. WARNING do not waste your money on this holster..
Yes, I did not like it. It displays a large print towards the front of your pants. As far as I'm concerned, the company clearly knows there are issues with the holster but they don't care. They just want your money and any negative feedback they get, they will block you from from entering a review on their website.. I've never experienced this with any other company.. Shameful, now I'm stuck with it..@@josefonseca5310
Price gouging at $65.00 plus they overcharge for shipping I live in Florida where Urban Carry is located. Ordered a holster from Versacarry located in Texas with free shipping. Blue Star is another holster company in Texas that offers free shipping.
If possible can you please do a review of the G2 version. The G2 is supposed to be the newer version that addresses many of the issues you have shown here. I don't have an urban carry but I WAS considering one. Guess I will stick with my N82Tactical.
I found this to be an unfair review. An improper old model, that wasn't even worn properly. It's a specialty (deep cover) holster; and for that purpose, the properly sized G2 works well. I've enjoyed and repaexted ASP until this point, but this was nothing short of dishonest and juvenile. Sorry bud--you lost my respect on this one.
I bought one a month ago for my p938 just to try it, its a piece of crap just like that one. The new "upgrades" make it even worse. Can't even sit down with it. Returned the next day.
Do not have this hack review shit. He did a terrible job reviewing this and he would do a worse job reviewing a g2. He didn't even bother to wear or use it at all. Look how he says it'll fall out when he CLEARLY doesn't close the flap right or pinch where the pants would be for the expressed purpose to look oh so smart. I'm not saying the urban carry is the bestest and for everyone but what a dishonest shit review.
Looks like OJ trying to show the glove doesn't fit. I usually like these clips but you clearly were intending to slam the holster before you started, making a number of incorrect comments and assumption. You didn't even hold it up correctly. They may not be the best ( I have one and don't think it is too bad with the right sized holster) but you need to apologize to UC for this hack job.
lacruiser no they should say sorry for making a shit holster that only dumb ass liberals would buy. ur obviously new to carrying or you would already have a nice holster that's specifically designed for ur gun so that it works properly, please stfu and do a little study b4 wasting ur money on shit. ty
Is triggered like a mother but talks about a liberal buying a stupid holster come on dude you can represent much better than that if you are who you say you are. And yes a stupid holster and yes a stupid review now we have that out of the way without loosing our sanity lol
I LOVE my Urban Carry holster! I need a holster to wear discreetly in a suit and tie, and there is nothing else on the market that comceals as will as the Urban Carry. It's got it's drawbacks! The biggest drawback is that it is very difficult to draw while sitting and impossible to draw in the car. Training and carrying an extra gun in the car fixed that! "Can I draw reliably", yes! With training and practice!
It doesn't meet the requirements of an acceptable holster. ruclips.net/video/Ox7GrdjqRXk/видео.html You cannot draw from anything but a stationary standing position, which is almost never what happens in real defensive encounters. VERY often on the main channel we see people having to draw while moving, and that fouls the draw on the Urban Carry holster even while standing.
I carry the urban 3...it is great....works great ...fast on the draw.....you can't see it ....has a magnet and a clip inside that holds it in place......practice with it....its the best thing out there.....from Texas.......justworks great
@@ASPextra I see what you are saying, but I spend about 9 hours of my day (the biggest chunk of time) in a stationary position. With my job I can imagine few situations where I wouldn't have the ability to draw. That being said, I have switched jobs from this post, and do not wear the UCH very often, but I do believe it does serve a purpose. I appreciate your insight!
@@jameshynden6715 wrote "you obviously don't meet the requirements of a valid reviewer that could for an instant be thought to be credible." 2021 calling: your comment hasn't aged well, given that John is considered one of _the most_ credible gun voices on YT.
Says Urban Cary holster sucks. Reviews old model that they improved upon by listening specifically to criticisms about the older model... Not a fanboy, don't even own a handgun, but come on dude. This was a crap review. Edit: For those that don't get it, I was reviewing his review, not the product. If you watched the official video demos by the maker, you can see that he is not even attempting to use it properly. If he had, and still gave it a negative review, I could respect that. His Serpa review is an example of a proper review. Having waited for my paperwork to clear, I went with a Vedder Light Tuck for my EDC and have been happily carrying since shortly after my post. I could not care less about this product as I did not feel that it met my needs, but this review did not have any factor in that because his presentation made the information useless for an informed decision.
Watched part 2, just more of the same. You're pants are too tight, you're not wearing it in the correct position, you're not leaning back to help get your gut out of the way... I'm sorry, but its not a good review of even the old one, and you're trying to judge the new one based on that. It may still be bad holster, but as presented, its just the review itself that's bad.
PFirefly06 not leaning back to get gun out? Wtf dude come on!!!! If you had a choice to wear a holster that requires zero manipulation of you and your body, to get your gun out you wouldn’t choose it over this piece of shit? You’d rather have to fidget and finagle with yourself to get gun out of this pos???? This was honest review. You said yourself you don’t even own a gun, so obviously you don’t carry. Without doing either of those things than your opinion means jack shit, and is also INCORRECT. If you don’t own or carry s fire arm, than you really and clearly and obviously have NO CLUE what your talking about 😂😂😂😂😂
The urban carry 2 has solved a few of these problems there are several different sizes and a very powerful magnet to give retention to the gun I don't have one but I have looked it up
Active Self Protection Extra No you didn't you just mocked it. Get the newest version and actually demonstrate it correctly...again it's not the best option but it is not as terrible as you are making it out to be
This is so funny. I've seen that ad for that holster dozens of times and always thought to myself that is absolutely redonkulous. Went to see a video on this to prove that it is redonkulous.
I considered this holster for concealed carry right before I got my permit. The biggest flaw with it is how difficult/impossible it would be to draw in any position other than standing straight up. They literally tell you in order for it to work you have to wear your pants somewhat loose. Drawing this thing while sitting is simply not happening, and drawing one handed is going to be extremely awkward. It's a cool concept, but there are better alternatives for the situations this is designed for.
Is that actually true though? The guy in the video never actually showed him sitting down with the holster in the proper position to demonstrate that. All I see him is holding the holster and putting it upside down and not actually using the holster how it’s supposed to be used. Not sitting nor standing. There was no demonstration
I agree with you, John. I don't like this holster at all. However, all the points you made will undoubtedly be refuted by the makers of this holster (if they haven't already), but above that, I gotta be honest with you brother, you really sound kinda unprofessional and peevish in your presentation of why you don't like it. Don't take that the wrong way, that's just how I see it. Keep up the good work.
It's an okay holster the new one has a magnet so it won't come out. My gun completely fits inside I can pull it out easily. The issue I have with this holster is reholstering and it does point up a bit too much no one has ever noticed it but still. Maybe I picked the right firearm with the new G2.
Check out the new g2 or g3 holsters. They revamped each new holster after the previous generations. G2 had a retention magnet and G3 now has a retention clip that clips to the trigger guard
5:25 That looks like a perfect fit to me (for that revolver) in order to a good grip. I think ASP made up his mind beforehand without even trying on the holster... as the problem that he's complaining about (lack of grip exposure) goes away when draw it from your belt. And in 2018 he's using first version that was designed years ago and they improved upon in version 2. I really get the impression here that ASP thinks that there's ONE holster that is the best and that everyone should be using. I happen to disagree and his idealize HOLY GRAIL of holsters probably wouldn't work for jogging or exercise (something he knows nothing about)... in my opinion, I don't think there's ONE holster that can fit everyone's needs. I'm sure the Urban Carry holster works for a lot of people... and good for them... it just doesn't work for me... but just because it doesn't work for me, you're not going to see me trash talk a holster that might be perfectly suited for someone else's situation. Whereas with a traditional IWB holster, you have to have your shirt untucked. With Urban Carry, you can tuck in your shit. That's the real purpose of this holster: It fits into a category of holsters that offer DEEP CONCEALMENT for work where nobody can know otherwise you'll be fired. Other options for this category of deep concealment (at work) are pocket carry, ankle carry, cargo carry, Smart Carry, 3speed, JJ Racaza, etc.. or possibly even belly-band might work. Out of the belly-bands... probably the two best that I've seen are Comfort-Tac and Crossbreed. That's a lot of options... each person has to decide what works best for their situation.
@Nikolai Kalashnikov wrote "That's the real purpose of this holster: It fits into a category of holsters that offer DEEP CONCEALMENT for work where nobody can know otherwise you'll be fired." How do you propose being able to actually _draw_ said firearm? Seriously: let us know what kind of draw times you get out of your "deep concealment" holster. I'll bet I could make an even deeper-concealed holster out of a pair of Spanx, a square foot of neoprene, some PTFE sheet, etc., that wouldn't even show-up in a pat-down. _But it would take like 30 seconds to be able to draw._ By that time, the wearer is already dead, embalmed and buried.

Try using the holster the way its intended. With it on the damn belt where it might solve the problem of the gun falling outta the holster. No product is perfect but it's a good step in the right direction for deep conceal carry.
@@ASPextra well like I said. No product is perfect but I feel it's still a step in the right direction of deep conceal carry. I really haven't seen to many if any product that goes below the belt completely concealed. When you're going conceal carry in public if your a gun on the waist person you gotta make sure your shirt or coat is constantly covering the gun grip especially if your moving a lot, bending over to tie your shoe maybe you dropped your phone. You never know. This holster eliminates all that. It's better to be a little uncomfortable to possibly giving away that you have gun on your waist line.
Sorry, but you look like one of those minimum wage actors having a tough time pouring salad dressing on a ronco commercial. Can agree but don't over play it
My friend just linked me their website and it's a decently cool concept, their new g2 supposedly has improvements but I had to explain to him why it's no good and that being 100% comfortable is just a sacrifice you have to make for safety.
If they sold holsters at the "As Seen On TV" store, this would be there best seller. I carry concealed everyday at work in a high risk environment and when I need my gun, I need to be confident I can get to it. The Urban Carry looks ridiculous, reminds me of a fanny pack too much to take it seriously. I think if they targeted their ads to people that drive Saturns or Mini Coopers they would probably be a hit. John, not a bad video or anything, but it was a bit over dramatic. I would have liked to see you strap that tampon pouch on and just show everyone it sucked
I own one. It does work...if you wear pants 2 sizes too big, a loose belt and have 30 seconds to a minute to wrestle it out all while looking like you're giving yourself a frontal wedgey. Oh only attempt to draw while you are standing straight up and have no gut at all. Attempting to draw while seated will result in an epic fail, unless drawing it while seated in a fully reclined lazy boy, while wearing said pants and belt or a bathrobe. By the way when you wear it...prints like a champ so you do not have to worry about that pesky concealment. John where was this review before I bought it a year ago? Thanks for having my back...lol. great video as always
ken Q That was hilarious. Mr. Kentucky seems a bit butt hurt about your comment (and butt hurt about other comments as well) but all I know is that is funny stuff. Idk who is more accurate, I’ve never had this holster in hand. I’m just here for the entertainment
This hasnt been my experience with the UCH. The marketing is stupid as hell, and I think everyone can get on board with that... They do make them in various sizes, I use them for CCW with large frame revolvers as they honestly are the only company I have found that I can do that with. Now, I'm no stranger to carrying full size guns in CCW scenarios and often those guns are chosen over my revolvers for the same role, but all the same I've found them to do quite well with them. I wont call them the greatest holster in the world as they very clearly do have their problems and issues with the application with certain firearms. But again, when carrying large frame revolvers, heavy metal frame full size autoloaders, and things akin to that nature it's been quite nice.
If you carry a revolver for cc, I don't wanna hear it. Anyone with experience knows this product is garbage and won't give you an advantage in a life-or-death situation.
@@kamp.4466 Well I'm somebody with experience and I disagree. I just laid out how it's effective with either .410 or .45 Colt but let's just ignore that ok? .45 Colt in a short barrel has more power than .38 Special and better expansion with JHP's. .410 Slugs have more power and velocity as well. .410 Buckshot with the right load also meets these parameters. All of which meet FBI minimums, all of which are more than lethal at 21 feet or less. I fail to see how it's a disadvantage in any of these "life or death situations". I've been in 3 self defense shootings... 2 were resolved in a single round, one took 8 as they returned fire and cover was needed. If you research average number of rounds fired, while there's no conclusive number using our brains it comes out to around 3-4 rounds. 5 in a Judge or 6 in a Governor both pass those. So statistically yes, even a 5 shot .38 gives you an advantage. If you had some sort of evidence to back this claim of yours up I will be happy to discuss it with you. But for now you're just parroting the masses with nothing going for you. And if your argument is or is going to be "This is better! Thats better! Those are better!" I've already prefaced everything with that yes, the Judge/Governor series are versatile and not specialized thus for many particular tasks other things will be appealing or considered better. All I've done is point out they aren't useless but it seems the "butt hurt truth" goes both ways. Fanboys get butt hurt when you say it sucks, the rest of you get even more butt hurt when I point out it's not as pointless or useless as you seem to believe.
@@Predalien195 You must be hanging out in the wrong side of town to have already been in 3 shootings. I don't know you, and I can't confirm that's true, but with that aside, I'll stick with my G19 with 17+1 and an extra mag in my appendix carry holster. If a revolver works best for you, good on ya. But forget reloading in the heat of battle. You better hope you don't encounter more than 1 person, not to mention the UCH design is inherently slower to draw a firearm from. Also, I know you carry a revolver, but if someone wants to carry an extra mag, where do they put it? I like how most kydex holsters have a slot for an extra mag, but that's just me.
@@kamp.4466 I carry both revolvers and semi autos. I'm no more biased towards one or the other, they are all tools to me. That said, I have a rule that if I'm carrying anything with 10 rounds or less, I carry a spare. Most guns with 12, 15, or 17, I wouldn't bother personally as you'd likely resolve the situation long before you ran out of ammo but again that's just how I do things. As for reloading, during that last instance I had where 8 shots were fired, I had ample cover and time if needed to reload even a revolver. Probably not if I was single loading rounds, but with a speed strip or speed loader it would have been adequate. That said I had a 15 + 1 semi auto on hand at the time. As far as extra mags or even speed strips or loaders, pouches, kydex holsters for magazines, and all other sorts of things exist. Even for those wanting to go a little more concealable, I've seen some that tuck down in the pants like IWB holsters and don't protrude or print hardly. Options for those things are about as limited as spare mag holders which to say the least isn't that limited. And no, one of my shootings was a guy breaking into my house, the other was much like the last... drunk person started some mess and grabbed a gun. While the city these things happened in does have a fairly high crime rate, very few places within that city I'd consider to be extremely bad areas. I've since moved however and life is much quieter. Most of the shooting I do as before is on the range or hunting related.
That's a gen 1 model. I can reliably draw out of my gen 2 and it securely holds my gun. My only issue is that it adds 1 full second vs my IWB... but what can you expect with a deep conceal.
My uncle absolutely loves his that he carries his S&W M&P in, but he had to go to the next size up. He runs his own plumbing business and wears his all day even while working. Not sure if he'll use it forever, but he finds it the most comfortable and discreet. I definately wouldn't have one.
You should try the newest generation, it's a whole lot better. The newest one has a hard trigger guard and a good solid adjustable retention system. I use mine all the time even working around the house. The main perks of it are how unbelievably comfortable and concealable it is once broke in. I've even worn it while asleep when camping.
@@ASPextra Nice. It's definitely not the holster for every use, but there really isn't one. I wear my shirts tucked in so I find the deep concealment and comfort to be great. The action of pulling the holster is basically the same as clearing a garment for "traditional" appendix carry so I can train basically the same for both forms of carry without worrying about training scars. It's another tool in your arsenal for specific situations. I don't work in an office or similar setting but if I did I think it would be most excellent.
This was really sad to see from you. You're better than that man. You teach all the time that there is no right holster. It's not about howany rounds you carry or the size of the gun itself. It's all about what you feel comfortable with carrying everyday. This holster might work for many people, even if it doesn't work for you. I say this with love ❤️
I saw it at the NRA show and had had an involuntary hurl reflex. I had to double check that this was a thing. Glad to see you confirm my suspicion of suckatude.

This we can agree on. This holster is terrible. A friend has one and he has dumped his gun on the ground with it even in a normal setting. Can't imagine trying to reliably use this in an active situation.
Plus it looks really uncomfortable when sitting.
@@yatoinc.8993 it sounds like your friend has no business carrying a weapon.
What a concept to have a slot to hold your CCW card behind your pistol. "Yes Officer, of course I have my CCW legal concealed pistol on me. Let me show you." I reach for my gun, then meet Jesus.
So true.

I would agree that the holster is not worth purchasing however you should have actually attempted to use the holster on your belt with a firearm in it to illustrate your point. This is like giving your thumbs down on a gun without ever having shot the actual gun.
I just didn't add the actual draws because they show nothing. They show me tugging at a flap, but don't show why. I showed why and that's the important part.
Don’t worry John, everyone else got why you didn’t need to demonstrate it. Do you also have to physically demonstrate why pointing a loaded gun at your face isn’t safe?? LOL
BigAArmory fully agree considering other videos show it works well.
I agree. I was like... ok put it on big guy but nope. Oh well.
Sorry.. No actual demo... Your assessment is invalid
I have one for my MP shield and I love it. But of course mine is the second generation one that uses magnets that makes a big difference. So yes it’s not the best holster but I do like it.

In the first place, the holster is designed to carry the firearm completely concealed. Your VP9's buttstock was still sticking out, which means that holster wasn't specifically designed for that gun. To be fair, you'd have to get the gun that the holster was specifically designed for, which you obviously didn't have. The glock was too small, which means the holster was probably designed for a gun whose size was in between those two guns. If you get the correct size holster for the firearm you're carrying, (which Urban Carry REQUIRES you to do before you order the holster), your firearm WILL be securely held and completely concealed.
In the second place, the holster DOES conceal the trigger and trigger guard completely. That's undebatable, just by looking at it.
In the third place, it CAN be drawn sitting down, if fitted properly and containing the firearm it was specifically designed for. Watch the vides on the Urban Carry site! It can be drawn one-handed, with your shirt in or out, standing or sitting, and even if you're large or skinny.
Yes, it covers the trigger guard. Yes, it allows reliable access and holds the gun securely. It's all about getting the correct gun and the holster designed specifically for that gun.
@@theheadlessguitarist1 oh and what is his bs about it not holding it securely? I dont see this dude doing a cartwheel ever.
@@ratataran exactly. How secure does it have to be for normal everyday activity? I wouldn't exactly go jogging with that holster, but otherwise, it's a great product with a great design.

I use a urban carry g3 and I like it. Gen 3 worked out alot of the issues of the original urban carry. They have a magnetic retention system at the bottom of the holster that keeps the gun secure. I've trained with the draw and can get a good grip everytime. Drawing from a seated position isn't hard if you lean back slightly, which I can do because I'm pretty fit. And as far as people asking about a cell phone case, I worked for 2 years in sales, seeing dozens of people a day while wearing my urban carry. I only had 1 person say he recognized the holster. No body asked me what I was wearing. Most people aren't that observant I've found. If I got into an brawl, I'd want my current urban carry holster. It keeps my gun hidden and extremely hard to access if you're not the user.
Slightly less suck and fail, but still fail. ruclips.net/video/pjUSTZUUaTs/видео.html

I think hes just that frustrated with the holster.
Prescription stimulants, perhaps. Now a days doctors seem to throw that kind of shit at anybody walking in the door.
Is that an older version of the urban carry? Because when I go to their website it asks which gun is it for because you need to purchase the holster made for that exact gun.
I love the urban carry holster. I keep my Siracha sauce in it so I’m never without. As a condiment carry, its outstanding. As a gun carrier, it’s crap. They sure market it as efficient, but it’s proved otherwise.
Shaverklan you keep hot sauce in your purse too, just like HRC?
Rapid access Rooster Sauce!
For safe snacks, always use a condiment!
Took the words right out my mouth.
It's a "universal fit" so you could carry the Army's Standardized Food Purification Kit... a tin of Black Pepper and Frank's RedHot Sauce! This makes it a reasonable "Prepper's To Go Kit" for those "just in case" scenarios. Because EVERYONE knows you can make almost anything edible if you put enough Black Pepper and Frank's Red Hot Sauce on it.
I really like my gen 1 Urban Carry holster. I have been using it for 2 years now. Why?
1. It allows me to carry the gun concealed that would be more difficult with other holsters.
2. With practice I have been able to become proficient in quick drawing the gun.
3. Nobody seems to notice it.
4. It holds the gun very securely. Unlike as stated in the video, the holsters come in different sizes to fit different sized guns. The leather is very nice and soon conforms to the shape of your gun. Hey, guy in the video, you seem to think you are pretty sharp on everything holsters. Here is a news flash, the holsters magnets are not meant to engage the way you showed it. Of course it doesn't secure the gun when you don't configure it properly. Note: I'll bet my underwear don't fit right either if I put them on upside down.
5. My gut does not overhang my belt so the the draw from a seated position is not a problem for me.
6. It is a lot more comfortable especially when seated than an IWB. I carry an H&K P30SK which is a double stack 9mm so the gun is a little thicker than some and it still works pretty well. I'm not a very big guy, 5'9", 155lbs and the holster/gun combo works well.
The reason for my post is that there may be quite a few people out there like me that would find this holster (especially the newer and improved one) to be very likable but because you don't seem to know how to use the holster, are not giving it a realistic review. And yet you seem to be so sure of what you are saying.
No. ruclips.net/video/yyFwa4gSam8/видео.html
John was interrupted by a holster ad... I was PRAYING it was going to be this one!
When you review a product that you don’t like and have 3 Red Bull....
You need to get some rest man. You look so tired and stressed out.
The design has been significantly improved since this video. I have the new one and it’s darn good.
It’s still full of compromises which make it a terrible holster choice. 0/10 do not recommend.
Even granting that the old design clearly had some issues and a lot of room for improvement this "review" was complete garbage. At no point does he actually put the holster on and demonstrate how good or bad it actually is. Nobody viewing this can take anything of value out of it because all they saw was a guy talking about theoretical issues in some random person's opinion apparently based on nothing more than looking at the item. Put the god damn thing on and demonstrate it working or not working. I'm not interested in watching a ten minute video of somebody telling me how terrible something is they haven't even actually tested.
That is your opinion, most reviews are positive on the urban carry holsters. So that is what I would base my opinion on is positive reviews, and a lot of them.
I agree it’s not a great holster. I will say though that you have the older model and the wrong size. They come in different sizes and the new one has a magnet built in to prevent the gun from falling out.
Magnets are not retention devices. And the smaller guns did okay.
Active Self Protection Extra it’s a pretty strong magnet.
libertybull90 awesome! So you get a crappy holster that also erases your credit cards!
Bob Newhart heres your fish!
no the magnet is to hold the gun in the second model. There is the one for the flap and another at the base for the gun. Either way i said i still think its not a great holster.
Thank you for your video. IMHO, I have to say that my Urban Carry (UC) holds my S&W 9mm Shield with a Crimson Trace on the rail perfectly. The new UC models have a magnet that securely holds the weapon in place, even when my Shield is in the full-draw position. I can attest that, despite my monster-size hands, I can draw my Shield standing or sitting (even in my car) fairly quickly. As quickly as a belt holster, no, but pretty quickly none-the-less. I can get a safe firing grip with my Shield right in the holster. By pulling the holster all the way up, the weapon almost naturally comes into my hand. Granted, it is normally a two handed draw, left hand to bring the holster up and then my right to draw my Shield. I have practiced drawing one-handed, as Urban Carry advertises and it is easy enough to do, especially with the magnet in the new holsters. Living in the People's Republic of Seattle where people run around screaming like little children if they even think they see a firearm, max concealability is important.
By ordering the correct size for your weapon and getting the new model that securely locks the weapon in place with the magnet, I think many people would find it a suitable carry method. Ideal, no....suitable yes. What I appreciate most is that I can wear it with any shirt, even a tucked in T-shirt and the magnetic belt clip is really innocuous. Nobody has ever asked me what it is, since we all seem to be carrying around stuff, like phone cases, on our belts these days. As far as printing, which is always a concern when CCW, I keep mine in the appendix carry position at about 1 o'clock and can wear it all day without anyone noticing. I keep my keys and other small stuff in my right front pocket and the weapon is quite well concealed behind my pocket. The leather softens up over time to the point I literally don't feel my Shield all day long. After being out all day, I've come home and even forgotten to take it off until bed time.
Is it the fastest draw....no. However, it is always be with me, no matter how I'm dressed, which can be as important as having another rig that may be more challenging to conceal. I do have an IWB hard shell holster that I will wear if I know I'm going to covered all day and not wearing clothing that's going to print.

If you decide to give it a look over, I think a lot of comments have expressed that they actually want to see you try to use it. I agree with them, that it would really illustrate the issues better if you're demonstrating the struggles of trying to pull that flap up.
Just gotta find some money to waste on it. :)
A bit of theatrics… Much like OJ trying to put on a glove that doesn’t fit, even though it really fits…

I have the newest one that fits my Glock 19 well. I purchased it for one very niche purpose: deep concealment carry at work. I want to add a trigger guard with lanyard.
For a regular holster I would not recommend it, however for the explicit purpose of keeping my tool on me at my job it was the only option. My uniform is a tucked, pretty skin tight shirt and black cargo pants.
Do you walk quietly now, like a Navy Seal?
No, but I walk not feeling defenseless, which is a good thing working on the Las Vegas strip.

Are you a vallet?
Good on you for finding away to carry! People can say whatever they want but if it keeps you defended that's all that matters.
But does it make the gun actually useful? Having a gun on you isn't being able to use it. I can have a gun on my person that is useless for self-defense.
Well, John...being a full- figured gentleman myself I put a lot of credence in the issues and products that you discuss in your videos. An added bonus is you always put a smile on this 71 year old face. Thanks so much.
I sure try. Thanks for the encouragement. :)
I have one of those. After watching this video I'm gonna give it a another try.
Watching this in December of 2018. I’m so proud of the hard work and dedication you put in to lose the weight!
They have made alot of changes to include: a metal clip for your belt, a magnet for the pistol, and different sizes to fit a variety of firearms. They've came along way since the first generation. I personally own one and while I don't use it everyday, it has its purpose if I'm wearing clothes where a can't use a traditional iwb.
Still sucks: ruclips.net/video/pjUSTZUUaTs/видео.html
Every ad I've ever viewed for the "Urban Carry" informed me that "It" was crap. I'm loving your definition.
Oh but John. They added a magnet in the new model to hold the gun a little more secure. You tube full of videos where upon the draw folks were launching the firearm across the room. Still a hot WPBSF.
Those were the old model where guns were flying lol!
Jon Kentucky A point about fitment: consider the selection in firearms available in the Old West, and compare that to today.
Jon Kentucky you may want to check out some SOB ( Sheriff of Baghdad) holsters. He has some deep conceal holsters that are nice for suits or if you really want to conceal the gun.
Steven Llewellyn thank you for the mention, I will check that out. I really like my Urban Carry G2 tbh, if you practice with it a bit (the caveat for everything gun related) the urban carry gives a great amount of concealment and is pretty easy to operate but they're a little pricey and the cadet is just a hair too small now that I've swapped to a Sig P320 (carry) for my edc
Ah yes, nothing like magnetizing your gun so it can collect metal shavings throughout
I have the V2 Urban Carry. It works perfectly fine for my Sig P229. I can reliably draw just fine, at speed. There ares some good improvements. Is it my primary carry holster? NO. It is not ideal as a holster, but it allows me to carry a full-sized firearm in many pairs of cloths that my normal conceal carry holster would not allow, so I frequently swap it in for those cases. A lot of your complaints are fixed in the V2 holster. There is a strong magnet in the base that holds the gun so it is far less likely to come out. There is a set of magnets in the flap so that this also stays shut until you want it to open. When you pull the flap up to release the gun, it now opens farther (I assume as I don't have the V1 but your video would seem to indicate), and relies on the magnet to retain the gun. It securely retains the firearm, and allows you access, and I have thoroughly tested this. To test, I unloaded my SIg P229, pulling the holster all the way up to the "worst possible scenario" and shook it vigorously and while jumping up and down next to my bed. I was unable to dislodge the firearm by accident.
Hey John I made my first order from lucky Gunner, spoke with David over there and I Told him That I got to them because of your channel. Keep up the great! work!
I have the new urban carry it was a nice smooth transition every time also had a magnet down in the holster and held my fire arm only thing I hated about it is that you couldn’t draw from a seated position
Sorry John, I have to disagree with you on this one. I've had my Urban Carry holster for a year now and love it. The improved design has the belt clip AND a large magnet to hold my 9mil securely in the holster. It was sold as a direct fit for my firearm and I can draw it easily from a seated position by merely arching my back a bit as I draw. (Which is a natural movement if someone is faced with a threat) It is not meant to be a "universal" holster.
I have a current version, G3. I use from time to time for my PX4 subcompact. I basically use it for deep concelment situations. The G3 comes in a few various sizes. Better fits that way. Also there is a locking mechanism inside. An adjustable retention clip that grabs the trigger guard. Overall far better than the one in the video. But not ideal. Normally I use an IWB but still keep the G3 in my bag for if I need it.
I have a G3 too. I work at a place that kind of forces me to deep conceal, so I like it in that regard. I only practice one hand drawing with it and find it to be quite adequate. It's also extremely comfortable whereas most other IWB holsters I have tried have not been good for the amount of standing and sitting I do. This works well for both which guarantees I will carry everyday.
But it would make a nice saddle for my cat.

I would have imagined that holster review would have included a demonstration since you’re on a video platform.

Agreed! Horrible review
Aww.. someone has wasted money on this dumpster fire and is upset about it hahahahaha
When you actually purchase the holster they have different sizes for different guns. If you get the right size it will not flop out at all. And as far as being able to draw in time or while sitting down, this holster is only for people who have to have their firearm 100% concealed where it's either this or go unarmed (ie: carrying at work in office clothes against policy, etc.). I own this holster and I think it's absolutely wonderful for that purpose. And if you're uncomfortable not having a more solid trigger guard then just buy a mic holster/guard and problem solved. Also, the one in this video is an extremely old version. It's been greatly improved since then.
All that talk and you never actually tested the product.
Edit: found part 2.
Thanks for keeping your Channel Honest and covering our new Shooters
Kydex may be hard but I love the custom fit, coverage of trigger guard and ease of drawing the gun out. I have no problem concealing and I feel my gun is secure and readily available.
What gen is it? Because the G3 (assuming you get the right size, they have a thing on their website to help) covers the trigger completely even when you pull the leather back, retention well there's a magnet and the leather is pretty stiff and it can't go anywhere when it's 'closed' and same place when 'opened'. it won't win a quick draw contest but that's not it's application, so what gen is it because it seems like they really improved it from what looks like a g1.
"wretched, pulsating ball of suck and fail" = brilliant; plenty of solid holster options that support fundamentals and consistent purchase and deployment
Well John I just got my g3 and I love it ! Fits my SnW sd9ve perfectly......

If possible can you please do a review of the G2 version. The G2 is supposed to be the newer version that addresses many of the issues you have shown here. I don't have an urban carry but I WAS considering one. Guess I will stick with my N82Tactical.
Send me one. I ain't giving them money.
LOL. Well I don't want to give them money either. But should you happen to stumble across one perhaps you can do a review. Keep up the good work.
I found this to be an unfair review. An improper old model, that wasn't even worn properly. It's a specialty (deep cover) holster; and for that purpose, the properly sized G2 works well.
I've enjoyed and repaexted ASP until this point, but this was nothing short of dishonest and juvenile.
Sorry bud--you lost my respect on this one.
I bought one a month ago for my p938 just to try it, its a piece of crap just like that one. The new "upgrades" make it even worse. Can't even sit down with it. Returned the next day.
Do not have this hack review shit. He did a terrible job reviewing this and he would do a worse job reviewing a g2. He didn't even bother to wear or use it at all. Look how he says it'll fall out when he CLEARLY doesn't close the flap right or pinch where the pants would be for the expressed purpose to look oh so smart. I'm not saying the urban carry is the bestest and for everyone but what a dishonest shit review.
Looks like OJ trying to show the glove doesn't fit. I usually like these clips but you clearly were intending to slam the holster before you started, making a number of incorrect comments and assumption. You didn't even hold it up correctly. They may not be the best ( I have one and don't think it is too bad with the right sized holster) but you need to apologize to UC for this hack job.
lacruiser no they should say sorry for making a shit holster that only dumb ass liberals would buy. ur obviously new to carrying or you would already have a nice holster that's specifically designed for ur gun so that it works properly, please stfu and do a little study b4 wasting ur money on shit. ty
shinninsword Dude you upload videos about Black Ops 4 and fucking Fortnite
@@Optropicraft And he says "ur" instead of "you're." Clearly a fan of that Justin Bieber. But the Urban Carry does suck ass.
Is triggered like a mother but talks about a liberal buying a stupid holster come on dude you can represent much better than that if you are who you say you are. And yes a stupid holster and yes a stupid review now we have that out of the way without loosing our sanity lol
I LOVE my Urban Carry holster! I need a holster to wear discreetly in a suit and tie, and there is nothing else on the market that comceals as will as the Urban Carry. It's got it's drawbacks! The biggest drawback is that it is very difficult to draw while sitting and impossible to draw in the car. Training and carrying an extra gun in the car fixed that! "Can I draw reliably", yes! With training and practice!
It doesn't meet the requirements of an acceptable holster. ruclips.net/video/Ox7GrdjqRXk/видео.html
You cannot draw from anything but a stationary standing position, which is almost never what happens in real defensive encounters. VERY often on the main channel we see people having to draw while moving, and that fouls the draw on the Urban Carry holster even while standing.
@@ASPextra And you obviously don't meet the requirements of a valid reviewer that could for an instant be thought to be credible.
I carry the urban 3...it is great....works great ...fast on the draw.....you can't see it ....has a magnet and a clip inside that holds it in place......practice with it....its the best thing out there.....from Texas.......justworks great
@@ASPextra I see what you are saying, but I spend about 9 hours of my day (the biggest chunk of time) in a stationary position. With my job I can imagine few situations where I wouldn't have the ability to draw. That being said, I have switched jobs from this post, and do not wear the UCH very often, but I do believe it does serve a purpose. I appreciate your insight!

Says Urban Cary holster sucks. Reviews old model that they improved upon by listening specifically to criticisms about the older model...
Not a fanboy, don't even own a handgun, but come on dude. This was a crap review.
Edit: For those that don't get it, I was reviewing his review, not the product. If you watched the official video demos by the maker, you can see that he is not even attempting to use it properly. If he had, and still gave it a negative review, I could respect that. His Serpa review is an example of a proper review. Having waited for my paperwork to clear, I went with a Vedder Light Tuck for my EDC and have been happily carrying since shortly after my post. I could not care less about this product as I did not feel that it met my needs, but this review did not have any factor in that because his presentation made the information useless for an informed decision.
ruclips.net/video/yyFwa4gSam8/видео.html
Watched part 2, just more of the same. You're pants are too tight, you're not wearing it in the correct position, you're not leaning back to help get your gut out of the way...
I'm sorry, but its not a good review of even the old one, and you're trying to judge the new one based on that. It may still be bad holster, but as presented, its just the review itself that's bad.
PFirefly06 not leaning back to get gun out? Wtf dude come on!!!! If you had a choice to wear a holster that requires zero manipulation of you and your body, to get your gun out you wouldn’t choose it over this piece of shit? You’d rather have to fidget and finagle with yourself to get gun out of this pos???? This was honest review. You said yourself you don’t even own a gun, so obviously you don’t carry. Without doing either of those things than your opinion means jack shit, and is also INCORRECT. If you don’t own or carry s fire arm, than you really and clearly and obviously have NO CLUE what your talking about 😂😂😂😂😂

God man, you look like you lost sleep over this holster lol you are the man, thanks for the great videos.
First . You don't have the holster on to demonstrate how good or bad it functions. Second. You do contradict yourself in the video
I showed you exactly how badly it functions. Right there. On camera. Can't do that with it stuffed down my pants.
The urban carry 2 has solved a few of these problems there are several different sizes and a very powerful magnet to give retention to the gun I don't have one but I have looked it up
Ha, ha, thanks for the laugh from the video title John. Your passionate commentary was great too (I couldn't stop laughing)!
Put it on then try to test then maybe I will believe you it don’t work
I showed you exactly why it won't.
Active Self Protection Extra No you didn't you just mocked it. Get the newest version and actually demonstrate it correctly...again it's not the best option but it is not as terrible as you are making it out to be
John, your mistake was trying to appeal to people using common sense. : )
@@TheDjcarter1966 Yes it really is as bad as he made it out to be.
Your bad and you should feel bad.
Good points, I was thinking of buying one, not anymore. I would advise you taking it easy on the coffee though.
Requires two hands
H2BpullsK20 it is a crap holster, but deep concealment almost always requires two hands.
I can draw my sig with one hand out of it jest takes practice
This is so funny. I've seen that ad for that holster dozens of times and always thought to myself that is absolutely redonkulous. Went to see a video on this to prove that it is redonkulous.

I considered this holster for concealed carry right before I got my permit. The biggest flaw with it is how difficult/impossible it would be to draw in any position other than standing straight up. They literally tell you in order for it to work you have to wear your pants somewhat loose. Drawing this thing while sitting is simply not happening, and drawing one handed is going to be extremely awkward. It's a cool concept, but there are better alternatives for the situations this is designed for.
Is that actually true though? The guy in the video never actually showed him sitting down with the holster in the proper position to demonstrate that. All I see him is holding the holster and putting it upside down and not actually using the holster how it’s supposed to be used. Not sitting nor standing. There was no demonstration
I agree with you, John. I don't like this holster at all. However, all the points you made will undoubtedly be refuted by the makers of this holster (if they haven't already), but above that, I gotta be honest with you brother, you really sound kinda unprofessional and peevish in your presentation of why you don't like it. Don't take that the wrong way, that's just how I see it. Keep up the good work.

It's an okay holster the new one has a magnet so it won't come out. My gun completely fits inside I can pull it out easily. The issue I have with this holster is reholstering and it does point up a bit too much no one has ever noticed it but still. Maybe I picked the right firearm with the new G2.
Still a wretched, pulsating ball of suck and fail.
But this would look so good with an Urban Sombrero.
Check out the new g2 or g3 holsters. They revamped each new holster after the previous generations. G2 had a retention magnet and G3 now has a retention clip that clips to the trigger guard
5:25 That looks like a perfect fit to me (for that revolver) in order to a good grip. I think ASP made up his mind beforehand without even trying on the holster... as the problem that he's complaining about (lack of grip exposure) goes away when draw it from your belt. And in 2018 he's using first version that was designed years ago and they improved upon in version 2. I really get the impression here that ASP thinks that there's ONE holster that is the best and that everyone should be using. I happen to disagree and his idealize HOLY GRAIL of holsters probably wouldn't work for jogging or exercise (something he knows nothing about)... in my opinion, I don't think there's ONE holster that can fit everyone's needs. I'm sure the Urban Carry holster works for a lot of people... and good for them... it just doesn't work for me... but just because it doesn't work for me, you're not going to see me trash talk a holster that might be perfectly suited for someone else's situation.
Whereas with a traditional IWB holster, you have to have your shirt untucked. With Urban Carry, you can tuck in your shit. That's the real purpose of this holster: It fits into a category of holsters that offer DEEP CONCEALMENT for work where nobody can know otherwise you'll be fired.
Other options for this category of deep concealment (at work) are pocket carry, ankle carry, cargo carry, Smart Carry, 3speed, JJ Racaza, etc.. or possibly even belly-band might work. Out of the belly-bands... probably the two best that I've seen are Comfort-Tac and Crossbreed.
That's a lot of options... each person has to decide what works best for their situation.
No, that's not the case at all.
@Nikolai Kalashnikov wrote "That's the real purpose of this holster: It fits into a category of holsters that offer DEEP CONCEALMENT for work where nobody can know otherwise you'll be fired."
How do you propose being able to actually _draw_ said firearm? Seriously: let us know what kind of draw times you get out of your "deep concealment" holster. I'll bet I could make an even deeper-concealed holster out of a pair of Spanx, a square foot of neoprene, some PTFE sheet, etc., that wouldn't even show-up in a pat-down. _But it would take like 30 seconds to be able to draw._ By that time, the wearer is already dead, embalmed and buried.

As you can see, none of these take "30 seconds" to draw.
Try using the holster the way its intended. With it on the damn belt where it might solve the problem of the gun falling outta the holster. No product is perfect but it's a good step in the right direction for deep conceal carry.
It's really not. There's another video on the channel with me trying it on and it still sucks.
@@ASPextra well like I said. No product is perfect but I feel it's still a step in the right direction of deep conceal carry. I really haven't seen to many if any product that goes below the belt completely concealed. When you're going conceal carry in public if your a gun on the waist person you gotta make sure your shirt or coat is constantly covering the gun grip especially if your moving a lot, bending over to tie your shoe maybe you dropped your phone. You never know. This holster eliminates all that. It's better to be a little uncomfortable to possibly giving away that you have gun on your waist line.
Been wearing for 3 weeks. Great Holster!!
Sorry, but you look like one of those minimum wage actors having a tough time pouring salad dressing on a ronco commercial. Can agree but don't over play it
My friend just linked me their website and it's a decently cool concept, their new g2 supposedly has improvements but I had to explain to him why it's no good and that being 100% comfortable is just a sacrifice you have to make for safety.
If they sold holsters at the "As Seen On TV" store, this would be there best seller. I carry concealed everyday at work in a high risk environment and when I need my gun, I need to be confident I can get to it. The Urban Carry looks ridiculous, reminds me of a fanny pack too much to take it seriously. I think if they targeted their ads to people that drive Saturns or Mini Coopers they would probably be a hit. John, not a bad video or anything, but it was a bit over dramatic. I would have liked to see you strap that tampon pouch on and just show everyone it sucked
Very solid point about being in a sitting position trying to draw your holster
I own one. It does work...if you wear pants 2 sizes too big, a loose belt and have 30 seconds to a minute to wrestle it out all while looking like you're giving yourself a frontal wedgey. Oh only attempt to draw while you are standing straight up and have no gut at all. Attempting to draw while seated will result in an epic fail, unless drawing it while seated in a fully reclined lazy boy, while wearing said pants and belt or a bathrobe. By the way when you wear it...prints like a champ so you do not have to worry about that pesky concealment. John where was this review before I bought it a year ago? Thanks for having my back...lol. great video as always
ken Q That was hilarious. Mr. Kentucky seems a bit butt hurt about your comment (and butt hurt about other comments as well) but all I know is that is funny stuff. Idk who is more accurate, I’ve never had this holster in hand. I’m just here for the entertainment
What do you think of the new G3 urban carry? Did they improve on the issues you lost here with the G2?
This hasnt been my experience with the UCH. The marketing is stupid as hell, and I think everyone can get on board with that... They do make them in various sizes, I use them for CCW with large frame revolvers as they honestly are the only company I have found that I can do that with. Now, I'm no stranger to carrying full size guns in CCW scenarios and often those guns are chosen over my revolvers for the same role, but all the same I've found them to do quite well with them. I wont call them the greatest holster in the world as they very clearly do have their problems and issues with the application with certain firearms.
But again, when carrying large frame revolvers, heavy metal frame full size autoloaders, and things akin to that nature it's been quite nice.
If you carry a revolver for cc, I don't wanna hear it. Anyone with experience knows this product is garbage and won't give you an advantage in a life-or-death situation.
@@kamp.4466 Well I'm somebody with experience and I disagree. I just laid out how it's effective with either .410 or .45 Colt but let's just ignore that ok? .45 Colt in a short barrel has more power than .38 Special and better expansion with JHP's. .410 Slugs have more power and velocity as well. .410 Buckshot with the right load also meets these parameters. All of which meet FBI minimums, all of which are more than lethal at 21 feet or less. I fail to see how it's a disadvantage in any of these "life or death situations".
I've been in 3 self defense shootings... 2 were resolved in a single round, one took 8 as they returned fire and cover was needed. If you research average number of rounds fired, while there's no conclusive number using our brains it comes out to around 3-4 rounds. 5 in a Judge or 6 in a Governor both pass those. So statistically yes, even a 5 shot .38 gives you an advantage.
If you had some sort of evidence to back this claim of yours up I will be happy to discuss it with you. But for now you're just parroting the masses with nothing going for you. And if your argument is or is going to be "This is better! Thats better! Those are better!" I've already prefaced everything with that yes, the Judge/Governor series are versatile and not specialized thus for many particular tasks other things will be appealing or considered better. All I've done is point out they aren't useless but it seems the "butt hurt truth" goes both ways. Fanboys get butt hurt when you say it sucks, the rest of you get even more butt hurt when I point out it's not as pointless or useless as you seem to believe.
@@Predalien195 You must be hanging out in the wrong side of town to have already been in 3 shootings. I don't know you, and I can't confirm that's true, but with that aside, I'll stick with my G19 with 17+1 and an extra mag in my appendix carry holster. If a revolver works best for you, good on ya. But forget reloading in the heat of battle. You better hope you don't encounter more than 1 person, not to mention the UCH design is inherently slower to draw a firearm from. Also, I know you carry a revolver, but if someone wants to carry an extra mag, where do they put it? I like how most kydex holsters have a slot for an extra mag, but that's just me.
@@kamp.4466 I carry both revolvers and semi autos. I'm no more biased towards one or the other, they are all tools to me. That said, I have a rule that if I'm carrying anything with 10 rounds or less, I carry a spare. Most guns with 12, 15, or 17, I wouldn't bother personally as you'd likely resolve the situation long before you ran out of ammo but again that's just how I do things.
As for reloading, during that last instance I had where 8 shots were fired, I had ample cover and time if needed to reload even a revolver. Probably not if I was single loading rounds, but with a speed strip or speed loader it would have been adequate. That said I had a 15 + 1 semi auto on hand at the time.
As far as extra mags or even speed strips or loaders, pouches, kydex holsters for magazines, and all other sorts of things exist. Even for those wanting to go a little more concealable, I've seen some that tuck down in the pants like IWB holsters and don't protrude or print hardly. Options for those things are about as limited as spare mag holders which to say the least isn't that limited.
And no, one of my shootings was a guy breaking into my house, the other was much like the last... drunk person started some mess and grabbed a gun. While the city these things happened in does have a fairly high crime rate, very few places within that city I'd consider to be extremely bad areas. I've since moved however and life is much quieter. Most of the shooting I do as before is on the range or hunting related.
That's a gen 1 model. I can reliably draw out of my gen 2 and it securely holds my gun. My only issue is that it adds 1 full second vs my IWB... but what can you expect with a deep conceal.
"The gun flops right out" because I'm always in a gun fight while standing on my head.
Not always. But I see enough gunfights involve physical fights and drawing while not on your feet that it's a serious issue.
My uncle absolutely loves his that he carries his S&W M&P in, but he had to go to the next size up.
He runs his own plumbing business and wears his all day even while working.
Not sure if he'll use it forever, but he finds it the most comfortable and discreet.
I definately wouldn't have one.
Thank you for saving me $60.00!!
This one was very funny. I love how passionate John is about holsters. Cracks me up.
What are you talking about I only need my hand to carry my gun.
*herpderp*
You should try the newest generation, it's a whole lot better.
The newest one has a hard trigger guard and a good solid adjustable retention system.
I use mine all the time even working around the house.
The main perks of it are how unbelievably comfortable and concealable it is once broke in.
I've even worn it while asleep when camping.
I have one in the safe breaking in with a VP9 in it.
@@ASPextra Nice.
It's definitely not the holster for every use, but there really isn't one.
I wear my shirts tucked in so I find the deep concealment and comfort to be great.
The action of pulling the holster is basically the same as clearing a garment for "traditional" appendix carry so I can train basically the same for both forms of carry without worrying about training scars.
It's another tool in your arsenal for specific situations.
I don't work in an office or similar setting but if I did I think it would be most excellent.
Man you’re fired up today lol. BTW I change my mind, go back to the beard.
Hey, can I get my wretched, pulsating ball of suck and fail back in Richmond next month?
This was really sad to see from you. You're better than that man. You teach all the time that there is no right holster. It's not about howany rounds you carry or the size of the gun itself. It's all about what you feel comfortable with carrying everyday. This holster might work for many people, even if it doesn't work for you. I say this with love ❤️
It’s a bad holster even by bad holster standards
