Custom-Molded Holsters for Springfield Handguns

Our Springfield holsters are crafted to match the exact dimensions of popular models like the Springfield Hellcat, 911, and 1911 series, ensuring a secure fit for your specific configuration—whether it’s optics-ready, laser-equipped, or standard. From IWB concealed carry to chest and OWB setups, our holsters provide a consistent draw, all-day comfort, and long-term durability.

Our designs use durable, lightweight materials and customizable retention systems to prevent discomfort and maintain a consistent draw angle.  

 

What is the best holster for a Springfield 1911?

The best holster for a Springfield 1911, whether it’s the TRP, Loaded, or Range Officer model, is an OWB holster or IWB holster with a custom-molded fit. Alien Gear’s Cloak and ShapeShift lines deliver superior retention, adjustable cant, and compatibility with specific models, such as the Springfield 1911 5-inch and the 3.5-inch Ultra Compact. These holsters balance concealment and comfort, outperforming generic leather, nylon, or kydex options that can degrade over time.

Will a Springfield Prodigy fit in a 1911 holster?

While the Springfield Prodigy shares the 1911 profile, it often has unique dimensions due to optics cuts, rails, or the AOS system. A standard 1911 holster may not offer the precise fit or retention you need. We recommend a holster designed for the Springfield 1911 DS Prodigy 4.25 inch AOS to ensure secure retention and compatibility with optics.

Can I get a Springfield XD Mod.2 holster that fits a light or laser?

Alien Gear Holsters offers custom-fit holsters for Springfield XD Mod.2 models equipped with lights like the Nightstick TCM-550XL or the Streamlight TLR-7A. Always check compatibility with your exact setup—for instance, the Springfield XD Mod.2 4-inch Service Model with TLR-7A has a specific fit. Generic holsters may not safely secure a light-equipped firearm.

How do I adjust retention on a Springfield holster?

Alien Gear holsters feature adjustable retention screws. Using a standard Allen key, tighten or loosen the screws to achieve your preferred draw resistance. This ensures a secure fit for Springfield models like the Hellcat Pro with MRDS or the XD-E 4.5 inch barrel, while maintaining a smooth, reliable draw.

Do Springfield holsters work for optics-equipped pistols?

Many Alien Gear holsters are designed to accommodate optics-ready Springfield models, including the Hellcat OSP, Echelon with Optic, and XDM Elite OSP. It’s important to select a holster specifically molded for your firearm and optic combination, as not all generic designs offer proper clearance or fit.

What’s the advantage of Alien Gear holsters over leather or nylon?

Leather holsters can stretch and crack over time, and nylon often lacks the rigidity for proper retention. Alien Gear holsters are built with advanced materials that resist moisture, provide consistent retention, and maintain shape—even with daily use. This is especially important for Springfield models like the XDs 3.3 with Crimson Trace Laser LG-469 or Hellcat Pro with MRDS, where precise fit is critical for safety and performance.

Can I use a Springfield holster for multiple models?

While some Springfield pistols, like the XD 4-inch barrel 9mm and XD 4-inch barrel .40 cal, share dimensions, most holsters are model-specific. For example, a holster for the Springfield 911 .380 will not fit the Springfield XDM Elite OSP 4.5 Inch with Nightstick TCM-550XL due to size, shape, and attachment differences. Always verify model-specific compatibility when selecting a holster.
