Alien Gear Holsters Reviews

I really like this holster. The Glock 30 is a chunky gun and I forget I have it on when I am wearing this holster. It has great retention. I looked at many different holster companies, but I know I made the right choice choosing Alien Gear. I would recommend this holster 10/10.

Didn't come close to fitting my ankle and I'm not that big. You better have skinny ankles if you want to wear this holster.

Ordered this Appendix carry holster (Lefty) did take a few weeks to get it but they are extremely well made! Worth the wait in my opinion. It took about a week to fully get used to it, Fits like a glove for my M&P Shield 40c, super fast draw and comfortable and extremely well made. Can't go wrong. Oh great customer service as I ordered the wrong holster the 1st time. Very nice customer service!!

This holster system is great. I purchased this just before going down to Front Sight for training. I set it up for OWB. Over the course of four days training from the holster, I must have drawn and holstered several hundred times with absolutely no issues. It performed perfectly.

Hands down the best holster on the market today, of course this is my opinion based on weapon retension, versatility , and comfort both sitting and walking or standing.

Have had this Alien Gear iwb on my side daily for past 6yrs now and glad to say, It still functions great and I'll be getting at least 4 more of the same version. I know I could just opt for a different she'll but for the cost, I like to have one for each handgun owned. Excellent quality product, conceals well and the leather properly cut to allow a full grip purchase upon drawing.

Ordered a glock 43x ankle holster but got a glock 43 quick release shell, no ankle straps no explanation. Very disappointed.

I have searched everywhere for quite some time to find a quality iwb holster. This included having one custom made but even that wasnt exactly what I was looking for. This holster/ holsters is just what I was looking for down to the last detail as if they read my mind. I wanted just one iwb holster but this pack really fits my needs. I love being able to change the way I carry depending on my situation for the day. The ease and comfort of this holster/holsters is night and day compared to all others. It makes me actually want to carry. Anyone that carries knows what I'm talking about. Just awesome cant say enough good about this holster/holsters. This thing is on a level all it's own simply cant be beat. The best part at least for me is it's made right here in America in the town where I grew up 👍👍. No doubt as I buy more guns I wont even consider going anywhere else for a holster. To all the folks at alien gear huge thank you. Keep up the top notch work and innovation stick with it. I hope company growth wont override your fantastic quality as it does with most.

Just received my cloak shoulder holster and I'm very impressed with the quality. I've bought so many items that have been value engineered to the point of being junk it's really nice to see something that has used quality materials and actual craftsmanship to produce. It's also the first item I've bought in a long time that didn't have a bunch of unnecessary whistles and bells. This is a fine 'Just the fact's M'am' product. I'm sure Joe Friday and Elliot Ness would be pleased.

Overall it is a great holster. The only complaint I have is the screws keep coming loose over time. If I don't check them every day they can come undone. WOuld probably still order for my next pistol.

I bought the IWB for my Sig Sauer P365, it fits like a glove and is very comfortable, love the backing material. No more hard kydek against my skin. It does seem a bit larger than my kydek but is hardly noticeable and very concealable, as with all new things you will get use to any difference. Thanks for a great product.

The shell works well as intended but the "EASY DRAW" trigger guard lock never releases smoothly from the first time out of the bag. Even more, after few tries intended to break it in, the push lever stuck and the firearm cannot even be removed until I find a way to separate the two halves. Imaging this happens when you REALLY want to use it. WOW, your life is in danger due to this faulty part. Design or manufacturing issue? Customer service is contacted for replacement and waiting to see how Alien Wear wants to research the root cause.

The holster rides my Ruger LC9 high, there is full grab on the grip and it conceals well. My only gripe is with the size of the back that holds the belt loops. It's longer than it needs to be and with my 30 inch waist it barely fits between belt loops on my pants. I guess I need a bigger waist!

Overall - good instructions, easy to modify to the different positions, very comfortable. . IWB - Fits great, very comfortable. Its been my favorite so far Appendix - holster fit is good, no problems. I personally have not enjoyed the Appendix carry position. Mount - Nice freebie , used to mount in my car. OWB Paddle Holster - even for an open carry position, this one sticks out further than I like. Fit is good, like the finger release. OWB Slide Holster.- great fit, easy use, very comfortable.

It's a great product all though it only comes with 2 magazine carriers and you have to buy other two at $22 each

Great holster!

I love their gear here but the belt clip gets warped very quickly. I wore this IWB for a while and when I switched to OWB carry, the belt clip is now so loose on my belt that it will not stay put, it slides all over my belt! I've tried to contact customer service 2 times by email and it's crickets for support. I'm so disappointed 😥.

This is a good quality mag holder. It fits my Walther PPKS mag snugly. A reasonable price and quick turnaround. Thanks again Alien Gear.

I bought this holster because I prefer OWB holsters but not all of them fit snugly enough on your side to carry concealed without printing. Well this one did the trick. It draws up tightly to your side and you can wear a nice, light untucked shirt easily without printing. The quality is excellent and the holster came to me in about two weeks. I now have an IWB and an OWB Alien gear holster. The great thing is the shells are interchangeable. I would highly recommend Alien Gear holsters for their quality and excellent customer service.

I'm a big fan of Aliengear and I have several Cloak tuck IWB holster. Quality is good as ever but this holster missed the mark for me. Perhaps its personal preference but this holster rides too high. If it had adjustments to the cant angle and ride height I think this holster would be perfect..

I love this holster! It's comfortable and I'm able to change how I want to carry. I've been telling everyone about the holster. it's well worth what you pay for and plus to be honest, it's not a bad price. Their customer service is great and with the lifetime warranty, it's awesome!

Ordered the extra large because previous reviews said that if you are close to the end of the size you need, then it is best to order the next size larger. So that's what I did, and it was way too large. Re-ordered the large size and it barely fits. This is my only negative but it does fit. My waist including the pistol is 45". I.m wearing the pistol between the belly band and my undershirt. I tried a stretchy type of belly band and it lasted two days before it deformed. This belly band doesn't stretch and works like a large woven belt. The good news is it seems to be made very well and I love it. I carry a full size Beretta Px4 and it works great. When I re-ordered the large instead of the x-large I was surprised that Alien Gear Customer Service didn't charge me any freight . They swapped it out at no charge even though I told them that it was completely my fault that I ordered the wrong size. Great customer service.

I've been using the paddle holster for about 3 years, and it has performed well. I'm bery please with the durable construction and ease of adjustment. I have to mount and remove it a few times each day, and it has stayed tight. I've only had to adjust the screws once, but that was after the first few months and I wanted the hold to be firmer.

I own another holster & It's a single gun holster 9mm I wanted something I could change with the weapon I carry, Aliengear fills the bill.

This holster, like others that I've bought from AlienGear, is top notch.

Very nice holster!! I got the brown leather option and over time the leather will conform. The multiple configurations are a bonus to get the right fit for what's comfortable to you, Very pleased with this purchase. Thanks Alien Gear for developing an awesome holster!!!

I cannot believe that there's not any adjustment on the cant of this holster. If your wearing this at 3 o'clock you certainly don't want the grip of the gun tilted forward... your gonna want to draw the gun straight up. I'm also disappointed in the placement of the outer kydex shell because it hinders your web of your hand getting high into the beavertail of the gun.... All this could have been avoided bye having multiple holes of the outter shell so the customer can adjust the cant bye the outter shell location. Poor design in my opinion

Appendix holster without a claw was the deal breaker. Without the claw the grip sticks out too far for me. My other appendix holster for my G21 has a claw and it conceals better than this. Very disappointing, will be returning.

I purchased the Shapeshift OWB Slider Holster and the Shapeshift Shoulder Holster to see how they would work for me. I am a paraplegic and use a wheelchair for mobility. My fanny pack is what I had been using to carry my weapon but never felt comfortable not having my gun on my person. The Slide Holster is carried on my right hip at 3:30 position. All I need to do is lean to the left to unholster my Glock. I'm quite pleased at how comfortable it is. As to the Shoulder Holster, a review will be forthcoming after I break it in. An additional benefit to the Shapeshift system is that I was able to order different shells for the other Glocks I own. Thanks to the customer service people that I spoke with. They were most helpful.

My wife bought me an Alien Holster for my .45 and in return I got her one for her Bersa .380, you cannot nor will not beat the quality, durability and craftsmanship of the holster. Recommend to anyone to buy.

I realy like the Holster it is very comfortable. My only complaint is some of the screws fell out thus I lost other parts. Customer service was very good about replacing the parts and I now put Blue Loctite on all the screws. THe holster is my every day carrie and most days i forget I have it on. I have not had a problem with it printing either. I am very pleased with it.

I bought an Alien Gear Cloak Carry IWB for my Six P938. Absolutely love it and it is my constant conceal carry when off duty. I am a LEO and our agency recently transitioned from Glock to S&W M&P2.0 9mm. I love the change, was never a big fan of Glock for me. I purchased the Shape Shift Core Pack last month. For what you get it is a really good deal. I set up and used the IWB for a few days while off duty and was comfy during the carry, however not nearly as comfy as with my Sig-smaller framed gun-. I had training the other day out of our area so I assembled the OWB Paddle Carry. I was not as impressed with fit and carry, holster felt, well kind of wobbly. I was on a time crunch so figured I would just see how the rig held up for the day. Middle of class just before lunch break, I am seated when I hear a "plink" noise and feel something hit my leg. I look down and see rolling on the floor the backing hex nut to part of the holster. I am not sure which part but from going through all the spare parts when I first got it I recognized it came from the holster. I excused my self and went to the bathroom to use the sink counter to fix the issue. The hex nut came out from the small "I" bracket that holds the holster to the belt clip. I tried to remove my firearm but the screw set was inside the holster and had wedged against the inside of the holster and gun, basically locking the gun in the holster. I had to gently pry the plastic apart to make enough space for the screw to drop to the bottom of holster. I then got gun out and was able to break the holster down. I did not have an Allen key tool to put the screw back into the hex nut and neither did anyone else at training. I was able to spin the "I" bracket around once to tighten the top screw enough to allow me to wear the holster. but boy was it wobbly. Customer Service was spectacular even though I opted to return for refund, sorry but I have to have confidence in my gear. I feel this is probably just one of those rare quality issues that snuck by at the factory, however...Fortunately I am with-in the 30 day test drive period for full refund minus my cost for shipping.

Amazing holster Great quality fair price is this wagon perfectly

In over 40 years as a shooter, I have owned several shoulder holsters and never liked any of them in the long run. The AGH Shoulder Holster is by far the best quality for the best price that I have ever owned. The break in is quick once you dial in the fit. I love wearing it even on the motorcycle because it is so comfortable; almost like not being there (as is all of my AGH holsters and I own about 8 now). You cannot go wrong with this Shoulder Holster. I love it!

I've had this product for about 3 years now. Bought it originally for my Glock 43. Carried it OWB, but my favorite is appendix IWB. With the two different places for your belt clip to go, you can really set the perfect depth for the mag. I carry my 43 mags with +3 Taran extensions, and I still find the bottom adjustment hole for the belt clip just fine. Just switched over to the Glock 48 and bought some Shield Arms Mags and a +5 extension. My same Alien Gear Mag Bucket fits it great!!! I moved the IWB belt clip up to the top hole and now I'm carrying a 20 round spare mag in nearly the same footprint as my old setup! Great product and I may have to buy more just to put up for the future. However, this thing seems to be bombproof!

One of my belt clips had a gap in it and i was afraid it would come off my belt online chat fixed me up sent me 4 new clips at no charge i have a few of there holsters and this one clip out of all of them did this . the customer service gal was awesome! Thanks AGH .

After contacting support a few times, we were never able to get the retention to a point where my P229 wasn't loose. The build quality isn't what I was hoping. I have a different model from Aliengear that I really like but this one is pretty poor by comparison. I wasn't able to exchange for another product or refund. I would not recommend this.

This is a great option for a duty holster. A very good competitor for well-known duty holsters. It functions very well, and is a solid platform. Very secure and reliable.

This is the best paddle holster I have, hands down. Fit for the FNH-9C is perfect. Tension adjustment is spot on. Highly recommended.

Shipped fast and works perfectly!

This holster is great, I can drop in my pocket and no one can even see anything, I used this on vacation everywhere we went and without the belt bulge you don't draw any attention to yourself.

A little over a year and a half of heavy use I noticed a little tear on the backside where the metal insert comes in contact with the inside edge. Nothing I couldn't live with but I sent an email to let Alien Gear know about it. I am extremly hard on this holster and it doesn't get a break, I received an email with an apology and instructions on how to return it. Prepaid mail and all. New one is working flawlessly. So impressed I just ordered one for my newest gun. If only they we available in local retail stores. Sheels carries them but not for lefties. Fantastic holster.

I have been looking around and reading reviews on different brand shoulder holsters, for over a year. I'm 6'5" 235lbs, so fitment and comfort were a big concern. I finally settled on Alien Gear and I have no regrets. It's very comfortable and doesn't take long to adjust. I also like the fact that even though I have it setup for a Cz Phantom, I have inexpensive options should I buy a different pistol. 5 Stars, I love this setup.

Well made and well designed. My only gripe is that the set up instructions could be much better.

Always satisfied with aliengear products. But i think rapid force is a little overpriced.

I had my eye on the Grip Tuck for a while and when I got to review it I was super excited. It's the most comfortable holster I have and because of that I carry it more than my other holsters. Watch my video review here: https://youtu.be/EIFIIHTz0oE

Been using alien holsters for some time now, the ability to switch outer shells for my different handguns amazing, Not to mention the quality.

I'm a retired paramedic and I worked at a place that didn't want us to carry on duty but in my 30 year career I had to guns pulled on me. So when I got my CCW I would carry and no one except my partner knew. I would work 24 hour shift and when we was slow we could lay down and rest. This holster made it possible to sleep with a Taurus 40 cal on my back and stayed completely counseled. Like I said best holster I have ever owned!!!

This is my first Aliengear holster. The fit is great as I like how close the holster rides on my belt. It we a breeze to change shells. The first shell was not formed correctly and customer service put in an replacement order promptly, I really appreciate the fast service. I had to change the spacers on shell for a better fit to my pistol. The kit made it an easy task. I will definingly be recommending aliengear holsters.

Purchased this OWB holster after Customer Service said that I could holster a Sig Sauer P320 M17 with manual safety. Well, you really can't. It will holster but it will disengage the safety on a draw. Further 8 months into ownership, the holster cracked. The base of the holster lining is showing abnormal wear. Discovered upon receipt that you MUST use thread tightener or the holster will have the screws dropping on the floor. I'm eating the purchase as a lesson learned.
