Would this holster be something I can easily convert to a tactical style leg holster?

No. The one I have at least, for my J-frame, rides high. It is perfect for just behind the strong side hip. Also fits well for cross draw in front of weak side hip. Maybe the holsters for bigger guns hang differently, but the little one is not at all suited for hanging down your leg.

Depends on the type of extender your using, this holster has a metal belt clip and nylon belt loop on the back. I took the metal clip off as I use this holster on a belt. The Springfield Armory holster would probably be better. I use the Mil-spec style leg holster(UM92) from Bianchi, holster, extender and web duty belt like the military uses/used. Tad pricey though for the whole rig.

Yes it is made from thick heavy duty padded cordura nylon. With the skills and a heavy duty industrial style sewing machine you could add straps. But i do believe you would be much happier just spending a little more on a tactical leg holster. Plus this uses a strap with a snap to secure pistol in holster. Most tactical holsters use passive retention which i also believe you would be much more satisfied with

The size I have would not work as it is for a large frame, long barrel revolver but if you have an appropriate size it would be possible. If you need one for professional duty then I would suggest you buy one. If it is just for casual use you could make something work. Assuming the necessary skill and equipment is available. A safe secure carry is important. Don't risk damage to the firearm for a cheap way to carry it. As much as a firearm costs it is smart to support it with good accessories.

It would be a really good choice for the Sig. The holster is really convenient and you can really get the gun out fast.So much easier than a IWB or OWB.

It's probably too slim. I would look at: Springfield XD Mod. 2 Sub Compact 9/40 Right-Handed IWB Hybrid Holster with Adjustable Retention and Comfort Curve, SHTF Gear ACE-1 Gen 2 or Springfield XD Sub Compact Right-Handed IWB Hybrid Holster with Adjustable Retention and Comfort Curve, SHTF Gear ACE-1 Gen 2

I believe they do make a rig to use this holster as a shoulder/chest holder. You'd have to search Amazon, maybe even Ebay.

Yes, but you can use it for a reverse draw on the left leg for your right hand.I think they sell a left handed holster in the same design, if that's what your looking for.

Yes. You simply turn the holster 180 degrees. Good for left hand or right hand or small of the back with either orientation.

Yes it will fit, but hard to remove quickly. Light causes it to get stuck in holster. Not sure on leg holster. Fits a belt or strap.

although it's a very forgiving holster, and can accommodate many types of pistols, i can't really be sure it would fit your particular gun. sorry i can't be of more help.....but like i've mentioned to many others, "hey" it's a very low price. where can you buy a holster of this quality, for that amount of money. so perhaps, you might just want to take a chance on it. i did......

I don't think so. I have a regular shield 9mm and it seems like that holster fits pretty tight already. You can make it fit with a knife and needle and thread. You would be better off getting a pocket or shoulder unit. I have both and like them way more.

I received an IWB holster with my laser. I suppose if you slipped off the belt clip, you could use it as a pocket holster

don't waste time and short money trying to convert this knife....for a few bucks more you can get a proper set-up for a leg carry....good luck

Absolutely. It is just a platform so it can be ambidexterous. You install your own holster/misc pouches

Hello Andrew,Yes in fact you can. It was the main reason why I bought this. The holster itself is switchable from drop leg to a conceal cqc paddle, open carry belt loop or chest piece. Also look into blackhawks quick disconnect kit so you can switch on the fly without having to reattach to each piece. Any other questions I'd be glad to answer.Jake

Maybe, it is adjustable, but its more of a tactical holster for large autos 4" to 5".

Possibly. It does not taper very quickly so there may be room for the light depending on the size. Plus, if you want to work with it the material is conducive to molding it the size and shape. However, the holster is not designed for quick retrieval of the weapon unless you want to modify the retention strap and buckle.

Bruno I would suggest that You try to find someone or a gun dealer in your area that has the Fobus holster and would allow you to try it out. Preferably this would be at a range where you can see how well it retains your firearm and how easy it is to draw from.
