Detailed Component Breakdown
Every component of the tactical drop leg holster system is engineered for stability, durability, and maximum mobility.
Dual Swivel Points

- Adapts to walking and running strides
- Heavy-duty rotation hardware
- Prevents holster binding

- Toolless configuration changes
- Secure locking mechanism
- Highly adaptable setup options
- Compatible with Alien Gear QDS mounts
Heavy-Duty Leg Straps
Purpose: Slip-free stability
Adjustable straps constructed with strong nylon webbing and elastic expansion zones. Designed to keep the harness tight and prevent side-to-side shifting during high-movement operations.
- Fully adjustable tension
- Elastic section for breathing comfort
- Stays in place during running
- Quick-release buckle design
Low-Ride Harness Plate
Purpose: Drop-ride clearance
A comfortable, contoured polymer backplate that lowers the holster carrying position below your hip, ensuring clear draw clearance even when wearing vests or belts.

- Flexible yet highly durable polymer
- Evenly distributes weapon weight
Details & Specs
Fits great. Doesn't slide around on leg when walking. Not too large to be uncomfortable while sitting in a vehicle.
Great product. Quick shipping.
Its good but no optic cut or light well not fit but other then that it awesome
Let me say that the drop leg was fantastic. The ride height was perfect. The QD connection is sturdy although the release buttons were a little tight but have become easier with use. The quick release belt clip puts the holster, when not using the drop at almost the perfect position. A little bit lower would have been perfect (only because of arthritis in my shoulders) but should be perfect for most users. Now the bad. The shell for the px4 didn’t fit right and no matter how loose I adjusted it, it just wouldn’t draw smooth without binding. I swapped it out for the extra shell I bought for my echelon 4.0C and it works fine. All in all I am happy with my purchase. I just have an extra shell I can’t use
I love this holster! It was pretty easy to set up especially after I Youtubed how to attach the holster to the belt. Great instruction by Alien Gear Holsters! Very comfortable as well.
It was an exciting fit for my firearm and very simple to make adjustments
Works as advertised. Would order again.
First off... Hats off to the people that have answers to all questions holster related!! Pointed me in the right direction I wanted to go holster wise! Once it arrived,the juice is definitely worth the squeeze! From fit to finish,and an amazing holster with "Quality" in mind and nothing short of that with the drop leg kit!!!
Now I need another holster for the Sig P211 GTO I recently purchased for my drop leg system that currently holds the echelon..
Best holster I’ve ever worn side arm feels right where it’s supposed to be solid.! Doesn’t ride up.
It was too much of a hassle to set up.
We’re sorry to hear you found the initial setup of your Cloak Drop Leg Holster to be more involved than expected.
The holster does require some initial adjustment so the straps, positioning, and fit can be customized to the individual wearer. Once properly adjusted, those settings should remain in place for regular use.
If you're having difficulty with any portion of the setup, please contact our Customer Service team and we'll be happy to walk you through it. You can reach us through the Contact Us section of our website or by calling 208-215-2046, Monday–Friday from 8:30 AM–4:30 PM PST.
It is a little tight I had to adjust it to make it fit properly. Screws all had to be looser
Hi Eric, thanks for your feedback. We’re glad you were able to adjust the drop leg for a better fit. Please know though we do not set retention for you as that is a personal preference and the holster is designed to allow you to do that. Also, we do recommend using a mild adhesive for a thread locker such as Loctite (medium retention blue bottle) or for a quick fix clear nail polish does the job to secure your hardware. Loctite can be purchased at any hardware or big box store. Apply a dab to the threads of each screw. Usually a very small amount will suffice. This should keep the screws from backing out, but will allow you to remove them if needed. We recommend this so the vibration of your body doesn't rattle the screws loose causing loss of them and/or dropping your firearm. If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out!
The Glock 40 fits into the holster. It fits tight and it seems that after many draws the friction will wear the finish off the Glock. I would like to return all that was ordered and received.
To start your return, simply visit our return portal at: https://alien-gear-holsters.loopreturns.com/#/ with your 'AGH' order number and follow the steps—it’s quick and easy.
The holster is good. The shipping time was awful
Hi Joseph, thanks for your feedback! We're glad you like the holster. Sorry to hear about the shipping delays—your input helps us improve. Let us know if there's anything else we can do for you.
I like it
Very comfortable fit . Pistol is very secure. I can wear it all day and never notice it
Very good quality. Leg strap fits small trees to thin twigs. Sitting, standing, squatting, running, it's comfortable and stays put like it should. The adjustable retention is excellent and the draw is easy and smooth.
The SD9 is heavy, and requires a secondary 'gun' belt for proper support. The Cloak Swivel adjusts easily and securely. Very impressed.
Just wish duty holster was available too.
You don’t have one for a Remington r1
Customer service was excellent and helpful throughout the process!!
This holster is great. I wish I looked as good as it does!
Comfortable and swivels with every movement I make
Quality product, nice retention and fits a pistol.I've not been able to find another holster for.
Love it.
Love this leg drop and holster. Feels great fits good after a little bit of adjustment. Adjustments were easy to do. Also like how you can take the leg drop off and attach the holster right to the belt.
Great holster. High quality well made, perfect fit for rugger 5.7. Recommended
The holster seems to be an extremely tight fit for the Glock 19x.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. The Cloak Swivel Drop Leg Holster is designed to provide secure retention; however, if the fit is excessively tight or you're having difficulty drawing your Glock 19X, we'd be happy to help troubleshoot the issue.
Please contact our Customer Service team at 208-215-2046 or support@aliengearholsters.com, Monday–Friday, 8:30 AM–4:30 PM PST, and we can review your setup and advise you accordingly.
The Rig itself is awesome. I love the way it breaks down tand the modular nature of it. However, the shell is not great and my review of that explains it why. But the system itself is awesome, i will have to adapt another style shell to it.
Was a gift for my father and arrived just before Christmas. He was very excited and loves his new holster.
Perfect holster
