Description

This lot consists of 2 identical vintage Uncle Mike’s Sidekick soft gun sleeves, designed for use as bandolier or hip holsters, typically accommodating large frame pistols or scoped handguns with barrel lengths compatible with Size 11 (historically correlating to approximately 10 to 12 inches). The sleeves are constructed from durable, heavy-duty synthetic canvas or nylon fabric featuring a classic four-color camouflage pattern (brown, green, black, and tan), characteristic of hunting gear popular in the 1980s and 1990s. The edges are professionally finished with brown nylon piping and robust stitching. Each sleeve includes an integrated closure strap made of brown nylon webbing, secured by a brown plastic quick-release buckle prominently marked “SIDEKICK.” A black woven label identifies the manufacturer as “UNCLE MIKE’S SIDEKICK™” and specifies the size as “SIZE 11.” These accessories are highly sought after by collectors of vintage hunting gear and accessories for iconic firearms like the Thompson/Center Contender.
