I'm looking for a right-handed belt holster, not something I'd necessarily carry with, just something to hold the gun when I'm at the range. Suggestions?

I've got this holster for my USP 45, P2000SK, Sig P229, and S&W 1076. I also have one on order for my "reserved" Sig P220 Carry, although I don't expect the gun to show up for a few....years.... Anyhow, they are top notch and you won't find another leather holster which matches this quality for $48. Expect 8-12 weeks turnaround time on these. Such is the price of quality leather.

I use a Mitch Rosen "5JR" for my USP. Best leather maker I've found yet.

Is leather the way to go? Do you need to do anything to maintain it? I was kind of looking for something more tactical like a serpa, but if leather is the real deal then I'll have to look into it

For an economical Kydex option I'd consider taking a look at Fobus Paddle and belt slide models. If it is just for the range or field use one of those would get the job done.

Sorry for the delayed response.

Leather is something I prefer. Kydex is some amazing material but if either kydex or leather runs the risk of rubbing against my skin, I'll choose leather.

Based on your mention of a "range-use" holster, I'd still go with the Don Hume [open top] OWB leather holster, not only for comfort, but for the option of concealed carry if you're willing to wear an untucked shirt.
