I have one of the Uncle Mikes Kydex paddles for my Glock 22. I like it ok, I am not a big fan of paddle holsters but occasionally they come in handy. I think the belt loop version of this holster would be fine. It is well made and inexpensive, the Glock Model fits the gun well and of course the tension adjustment provides decent security from the pistol working its way out of the holster. It is thicker than some of the upper end kydex holsters and I think it is actually some polymer other than kydex but it works. The only concern I would have is that it is a much bulker holster than a lot of the other designs and could cause some concealment problems as far as printing goes if you are lookng at it for concealment purposes. In retrospect, if I were looking for a belt type holster, I would probably go with one of the leather pancake style holsters for concealment which is what I carry most of the time, it holds the pistol closer to the body and doesn't print as bad. As I said, I only bought it because it was a cheap but functional paddle holster and I wasn't particularly worried about concealment just convienance. I generally only use it if I am sent to the store after I am in for the night or some other quick unexpected errand and while I throw a jacket on to cover the pistol, if you look hard you can tell there is something there. With all that said if you are just looking for a holster for the range, or IDPA competition or such the holster would be fine.
