There are plenty of holster options out there and some may simply appear as just another holster, with no unique features that will entice many.  Some are custom and some are universal but honestly, most are pretty much the same and serve the same purpose.  With only a very few exceptions, in my experience, the only real difference between most is their price tag.  That’s where Sticky Holsters comes in.  I want to emphasize on the word “sticky” because it is what sets them apart from the rest in this class.  Sticky Holsters makes universal holsters for a large variety of popular handguns.  They look like pocket holsters but they are much more versatile than that.  Thanks to their unique outer material, these holsters live up to their name.  In this article, I will provide a detailed look at them and test them with three different pistols over a period of time under different conditions and carry methods.

They sent over two holsters for review.  One supports all popular pocket pistols while the other is slightly larger to support sub compact models or pocket pistols with mounted lasers.  Models provided are SM-2 and MD-2.  Nothing much to brag about packaging.  Holsters are shipped in a standard ziplock bag with a brief info sheet on its supported models.

A while back, we very briefly covered the introduction of the Ruger SR40.  This was a full-sized pistol in this higher caliber primarily known for its much lower recoil based on its design.  Now, Ruger has just introduced their compact version of this pistol, the SR40c.  Maintaining the same features, this smaller version is at least a bit more enticing for those looking for a carry pistol with a bit of a punch.  Still quite large an heavy for concealment, but it is substantially smaller in comparison.  While I personally would not own or recommend a .40cal pistol, Ruger does claim the new SR40c remains one of the slimmest and most ergonomic .40 caliber pistols on the market today…now in a more compact version.
