What is a hook and loop holster?
A hook and loop holster is a versatile carry solution designed with Velcro-style fasteners. The hook side (the rough side) grips onto the loop side (the soft side), allowing users to securely attach the holster to a surface, such as the inside of a bag, a fanny pack, a car, a backpack, or a dedicated mounting platform. This system offers modularity, allowing for flexible placement and easy reconfiguration. Our hook and loop holsters are crafted with superior materials that outperform typical leather, kydex, or nylon options, ensuring lasting durability, retention, and safe concealed carry.
What is the difference between a hook and loop holster and a Velcro holster?
"Hook and loop holster" and "Velcro holster" are often used interchangeably, but Velcro is a brand name, while hook and loop refers to the fastening system itself. Both terms describe holsters that use this two-part fastener system for secure attachment. Our hook and loop holsters go beyond standard designs, featuring a higher-grade fastening system that delivers stronger retention, more reliable adhesion, and enhanced longevity compared to typical Velcro-based products.
Can a hook and loop holster hold a full-size pistol like a Glock 17 or a Sig P365?
Yes, our hook and loop holsters are engineered to accommodate a wide range of firearms, including popular models like the Glock 17, Glock 19, Sig P365, P365XL, and P365 XMACRO. Whether you're looking for a Glock hook and loop holster, a Sig P365 hook and loop holster, or a 1911 hook and loop holster, our designs provide a secure fit, excellent retention, and quick access. The adaptability of the hook and loop system makes it ideal for mounting in bags, packs, or vehicles.
Is a hook and loop holster safe for concealed carry?
Alien Gear hook and loop holsters are specifically designed for safe concealed carry in non-traditional setups, such as inside a backpack, fanny pack, or even mounted under a desk or vehicle seat. The superior fastener system ensures the holster remains securely in place, while the custom-molded fit protects the trigger guard, reducing the risk of accidental discharge.
Can I use a hook and loop holster for a fanny pack or backpack setup?
Alien Gear hook and loop holsters are perfect for mounting inside a fanny pack, backpack, or any platform that accepts hook and loop fasteners. The modular system allows users to adjust the angle, position, and height for optimal draw access. Whether you're setting up a fanny pack holster for everyday use or creating a discreet backpack holster system for travel, our holsters offer flexibility without sacrificing retention or safety.
Is leather or kydex better for a hook and loop holster?
While some hook and loop holsters use leather or kydex, these materials have limitations. Leather can stretch and lose shape, while kydex may crack or deform over time. Our hook and loop holsters are built from advanced, high-strength polymers that outperform both leather and kydex. They deliver a secure fit, superior moisture resistance, and reliable long-term use, making them a smarter choice for those who prioritize durability and safety in concealed carry.
Which side of Velcro or hook and loop should go down in a holster setup?
For optimal security, the hook side (the rough side) of the holster should connect with the loop side (the soft side) of the surface or platform where you're mounting the holster. This configuration ensures a solid grip and prevents the holster from shifting during carry. Our hook and loop holsters come with pre-configured surfaces designed to maximize adhesion strength, so you can carry confidently without concerns about slippage.
Are hook and loop holsters legal for concealed carry?
Hook and loop holsters are legal in most states for concealed carry, provided they fully cover the trigger guard and securely hold the firearm in place. They offer a discreet option for off-body carry methods like backpack holsters or fanny pack holsters. However, always consult your local concealed carry laws to ensure compliance.
Can I get a hook and loop holster for a Glock or a Sig?
Alien Gear offer hook and loop holsters for a wide range of firearm models, including Glock hook and loop holsters (like the Glock 19 and Glock 17) and Sig hook and loop holsters (including the Sig P365, P365XL, and P365 XMACRO). These holsters are engineered for precision fit, providing secure retention and smooth draws.
