Could be much better for the price.

Ok holster. Backer isn't big or comfortable enough thre holster digs in to my side really bad. not nearly as good or comfortable as the shapeshift holster. I would not recommend this holster not well thought out or comfortable at all way overpriced.

I’m sorry to hear the Photon EDC Pack has not been as comfortable for you as your ShapeShift setup. Comfort can vary quite a bit depending on carry position and body type, but we definitely understand how frustrating it is when a holster digs into your side or the backer does not provide the coverage you were expecting.

If you decide the Photon setup is not going to work for you, you can start a return through our Return Portal here:

https://alien-gear-holsters.loopreturns.com/#/

We appreciate the feedback and will make sure your comments regarding the size and comfort of the backer are heard.

The instructions were worthless

The instructions were worthless. I had to modify (add/cut down rubber spacers) to get the correct retention on a glock189 Gen 6 with streamlight tlr 7. Plus modify the sidecar mag attachment the same way(modify rubber spacers). After about 2 hours of assembly/disassembly I got something usable. I would have been better off buying the owb holster and mag holder ovsd the edc kit and saved about $40.

We’re sorry to hear you had difficulty setting up your Photon® EDC Pack. We do wish you had reached out to our Customer Service team before modifying the components, as we would have been happy to assist with the retention and setup issues you were experiencing.

We have several setup and instructional resources available online, and our Customer Service team is also available to walk Customers through adjustments when something doesn’t appear to be fitting or functioning correctly.

For future reference, our Help Center can be found here:

We appreciate your feedback and are sorry your initial experience with the Photon® EDC Pack was frustrating.

The only issue that I have is that the video instructions should contain a little more detail

The only issue that I have is that the video instructions should contain a little more detail. The product itself is excellent.

Photon EDC pack

I really like the Photon EDC pack. The versatility is great and the quality is really good. I run a Glock 45 w/ aimpoint and TLR7 light as a duty gun and am able to switch to concealed carry when needed. For such a large gun set up it conceals fairly well appendix carry and is easy to get used to.

Older photon pack versus new one

This is in comparison to their older photon pack.

The old one didn't come with the backer for IWB carry as it didn't exist at the time, and didn't have the belt quick detach system as part of the pack I can't remember what it came with for OWB carry, though this is arguably better. As for this attempt to compete with Blade Tech and Safari's system, it feels like it doesn't have the same flexibility for cant.

My biggest gripe is that it doesn't come with both a light bearing and non-light bearing holster, though I can see why. It's just extra cost for something most people didn't use.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such detailed feedback and for sharing your experience with both generations of the Photon Holster. We appreciate your observations regarding the mounting system, cant adjustment, and included accessories.

Feedback like yours is valuable as we continue to evaluate future product improvements, and we'll be sure to share your comments with our Product Development Team.

Thank you for choosing Alien Gear Holsters!

Seems like a nice holster for OWB but rides to high for Appendix carry

Seems like a nice holster for OWB but rides to high for Appendix carry. I will keep it for OWB use and stay with the Cloak series for IWB. The Cloak series is still the most comfortable I have found.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback! We're glad to hear you're enjoying the holster for OWB carry and that the Cloak Series continues to be your preferred choice for IWB comfort.

That said, we understand that comfort and preferred ride height—especially for appendix carry—can vary from person to person.

We appreciate your feedback regarding the ride height and will be sure to share it with our Product Development Team as we continue refining our products.

Thank you for being a loyal Alien Gear Customer and for sharing your experience!

Mid. For concealed carry I'll go back to my phlster. This thing is big, bulky and prints hard for appendix IWB

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

We're sorry to hear the Photon EDC Pack wasn't the right fit for your concealed carry needs. Comfort and concealment can vary depending on body type, carry position, and personal preference.

If you purchased the pack directly from us and are still within our 30-Day Test Drive, you can start a return or exchange anytime by visiting our return portal:

https://alien-gear-holsters.loopreturns.com/#/

Simply enter your AGH order number and email address, then follow the prompts to complete your return or exchange request.

EDC pack is great and has everything you need to

EDC pack is great and has everything you need to get started and thier quick detach system is awesome only complaint is the wing doesnt allow the deepest ride setting without being in the way of the draw
