Please don't take this as a counter-attack. However:
Economize? - Tell that to the expensive leather holsters in my closet.
For the H&K USP's, especially the compact, I've found the Kydex holsters seem to work the best. That's why the foray into the Uncle Mike's (thanks for the tip Lindy, I'll try that).
I wouldn't call the Bladetech I use for my full size USP "economical" however, and it is a very nice holster.
As I said above, in trying out the Kydex Fobus, just because it doesn't cost alot, doesn't mean it doesn't get the job done - Kydex is good stuff.
For lots of on and off wear it's not a "bad" choice.
And, if he doesn't like it,- it won't be so bad when he see's it in the old holster box in the closet!

As was suggested a few post's back, the paddle holster works well in this situation. I use one alot and can vouch that they are very easy to remove and replace while sitting in your vehicle. If you find the paddle a little uncomfortable while driving long distances, it's no problem to remove it to your console or glove box and put it on before you exit the vehicle.
I use a Fobus. They're made in Israel out of Kydex material, have a snug fit and made for most popular model pistols. They may not not be flashy but they are priced right - about $19.00, so if you try it and don't like it, you're not out too much money. (I have an Uncle Mikes belt style made out of Kydex, but I would not suggest that model to anyone due to the fact that I'm not satisfied with it's retention screws-they keep loosening up on me. So even though not satisfied I'm only out about about $20.00 on that P.O.S.
Fobus also makes paddle style single and double mag holders that are just as easy to remove and replace as well.
Hope this helped.
