Alien Gear Holsters Reviews

This holster is the most comfortable especially with my beretta 92a1 in it it conceals really nice people can't even tell I have it on me and they know I always wear my gun I would definitely and will recommend this holster to anybody

I've tried every kind of holster, and I've found this to be the best IWB conceal carry holster ever for; comfort, dependability, no printing, great retention, and all day field use. I carry a Glock 27. Regardless of how many different holders I've tired, I always end up returning to this holster as my workhorse holster for daily use.

I've had so many holsters throughout my life and finally I have the best one EVER. I'm happy I took my time to find this company. Any equipment they sell it the best.

Extremely happy with the purchase of the ShapeShift OWB holster for my Glock 42. It carries well, has great retention right out of the box, and conceals easily under a polo, or un-tucked button down. Great alternative to IWB carry for me. Highly recommend a solid gun belt to go along with it. Will definitely be back to AGH for my next purchase.

All of the existing complaints are warranted. Out-of-box, the Thumb Release suffers from binding if you don't hit it in exactly the right spot on the center stalk. It feels sort of cheap because of this. Mine also squeaked, likely due to the new spring. However, I remedied all of these problems by removing the Thumb Release from the holster, applying Hoppe's 9 Lubricating Oil around the insertion points, and operating the release a couple of dozen times until the oil sufficiently covered the internals. After I did that, I get a smooth release no matter where I press it. This could easily have been done during assembly with oil/grease to prevent the end-user from having to do it. Nonetheless, I am now satisfied with the product and would feel more confident using it in an emergency situation.

I have a Cloak Tuck holster for every gun that I carry. I am extremely happy with all of them, very comfortable and easy to hide. I have used the free shell exchange before, great service with that, no different than making a purchase, same great service. Wonderful company to do business with keep it up, I'll be back for my next holster need!!!

I recently purchased this product for a subcompact pistol, my intentions were to utilize each variation of the holster for different applications. unfortunately, I am not a fan of the appendix carry orientation of this holster, it is very bulky and rubs spots on me that make it uncomfortable. another issue is that in the box there is two option for OWB carry either with the alien paddle or to be worn with a belt, for me the issue wasn't with either way of carrying but rather converting between the two. I found the machine screw to be difficult to unscrew without damaging the cut out that locked the nut in place, also it would be inconvenient to switch between the two for different applications, although this may be a small issue it would be great in the future to see a more efficient way to switch the method of carrying for when I want the added security of being locked on to my belt or the ease of use when I just want to slide on the alien paddle.

My first concealed holster. I am not disappointed one bit. It fits my weapon perfectly and it came packaged very well. I tried it on and its pretty comfortable. Now i just need to pick me up a gun belt. I imagine once I do that then it will be even better. Im very happy with my purchase and the fact that if im not happy within 30 days i can send it back no questions asked. I wont be tho. And a life time warranty. What more can I ask for. I will be purchasing the appendix holster for my wife for her .380 EZ. Very very happy. Thank you AlienGear.

Just got my holster today very good quality for the price can't beat it. It's pretty comfortable will be writing another review in a couple weeks.

Best ankle holster I have ever worn. Forget I have it on it is so comfortable. Easy to adjust and stays in place.

I bought this based on numerous YouTube reviews. It features an incredible level of detail and outstanding build quality. It's not bulky. The retention system works perfectly. I wear it at the 4:30 and it doesn't give while attached to a 14 oz gun belt. The neoprene backing is comfortable. I wear it all day while doing my normal routine and I never have to think about the security of the gun. Great product and much better than a kydex-only holster!

This is a great holster so far. The quality of the backing and the plastic is great and it is far more comfortable than I could have imagined. PRO TIP: If you'd like a sticker to rep the Alien Gear brand... don't worry about purchasing an additional one like I did. It was only $0.25, but the holster came with 5 stickers itself! :-)

Once I split the shell and inserted the Trigger lock and installed the shell on to the IWB Pad it was all down hill from there. I have owned more IWB holster then I care to think about and I am not sure what I am going to do with the others,because as far as I am concerned there is nothing I repeat nothing that beats this ShapeShift IWB. I adjusted the Kant to meet the way I like to draw my firearm and then adjusted the belt loops to make it the most comfortable feel I have ever had before. If you are looking for the best system to either carry IWB or OWB be smart and look at the ShapeShift system and you will be as please as I am. In fact I just purchased the ShapeShift Core Carry Pack because I want the best for my wife for her concealed carry and all of our firearms.

Overall good holster!!! 2nd Alien Gear holster

I carry my Glock 30s as an EDC. During the summer I use a IWB holster to help conceal the gun, and during the winter I use a paddle holster to carry either in a jacket or sweatshirt. The cloak mod OWB allows you both options. The holster also comes with a few different options with spacers that allow you to adjust the retention as well as the cant for a straight up draw or a tilted forward draw. Overall, after 3 months of using this holster, I highly recommend.

This holster is great! Wanted a simple way to carry my Glock while hiking in the Idaho back country. The backpack holster mounting system is ingenious and once attached and adjusted I don't even know my pistol is there on my overnight pack strap. Love it!

Have had this holster for years got a new gun and alien gear did exactly what they said they would and exchanged the kydex to fit the new pistol it was quick and easy

LOVE my new shape shift 4.o holster! I got my CC license about a month ago and have really been looking forward to getting my first holster. I saw all of the awesome reviews for Alien Gear holster and decided to go with them. I was NOT disappointed. Never having carried concealed before, there was a small learning curve as far as what ride height and pistol cant but fortunately the shape shift 4.0 is incredibly customize-able and I was able to find the perfect setup with very little trial and error! I'll be purchasing all of my CC gear from Alien Gear from here on out!

Long story short, arrived days b4 I assumed it would, and was LITERALLY perfect. Fits like a dream, comfy, and sturdy! Endless warranty... What's NOT to love?!?

After I retired from the Military I had to turn in all my holsters. I carried mostly open in a full shell for years. I wasn't sure what would work best for me. I bought this kit because of it's versatility. I thought I'd like the IWB the best. To my surprise I actually liked the OWB slide holster. It was just the best fit for me. For price I got try them all!!! I don't see the need for another holster. It comfortable, versatile, and functional. Even though I mostly carry using the OWB slide configuration,I can, and have, used the OWB Paddle,and IWB configurations. Great product!!!

I had ordered the Shape Shift Kit a few days ago and did not order the extra c and j clips with that order. Today I called them and they are taking care of that for me. I will be a repeat customer.

I like traditional leather holsters and never cared much for molded plastic or poly or whatever this is made of. THIS HOLSTER CHANGED MY MIND! I didn't know what I was missing. I could not be happier with this. I will buy one for every gun I ever own. I can't think of one negative thing about this product. In my opinion I would have expected to pay more. Walther PPS M2 9mm

i love the fully adjustable straps and placement fittings.. the padded shell cover is really comfortable as well. my only wish with the same cover over the mag holders

You cannot and will not go wrong with these holsters they are the best that are out there hands down period.

I purchased the Shape Shift 4.0 IWB holster for my Glock 43. I want to let anybody that reads this know, it is worth the time and money. I am a short stocky guy (5'7", 240LBS). I searched for weeks to find a holster that would allow me to carry comfortable at work(Construction). after watching video after video of skinny guys that only carry appendix, I thought I would try it. I've had this holster now for a few months, and I have zero complaints. It took about three 8 hour work days to "break in". after it molds to your body, it is extremely comfortable. No pinching or binding. Durable and rugged enough that I am no longer worried about breaking my holster or pistol when I bump a wall or carry something that rests on it. so for all you bigger people out there, this is definitely the holster for you, I just purchased another full set for my wife, and an additional shell so I can swap different pistols out at my leisure.

I absolutely love it, I have quite a few other concealed and open carry holsters but the shape shift is the best holster i ever wore. It is so comfortable that i feel asleep with it in the other day and didn't even notice. It is also the best concealment holster on the planet, no wonder it is call aliengear everything about it is out of this world. I love it for glock 43 and to get one for my glock 23. Keep it up yall

The fit and finish on this holster is excellent. Fits my FN-five seven perfectly. Finding a holster in left hand is difficult to say the least but not with Alien Gear. Very satisfied with this product.

This holster really beats all others it's so comfortable and well built I love it.....at first I thought it was uncomfortable but later found out it was the grip on my gun has sandpaper texture so keep that in mind quick throw on of undershirt and was fixed I love this holster would buy it again and would also recommend it to anyone wanting to carry a gun thank you alien gear holster for making such a great product

I just received my holster; wearing it around the house to get used to it and so far it is the most comfortable holster I have ever worn. Perfect fit for my pistol; nice and secure.

This is by far the most comfortable holster I have ever had. Great quality and great price.

Really well made holster, super comfy, almost forget its there. Friction hold is adjustable from really easy to get out, to strangle hold, death grip, nearly impossible to get out. The only thing i would change on this; would be to attach some sort of push button trigger guard, so your weapon wont be able to be grabbed from behind, or fall out.

this is hands down the most comfortable IWB holster there is, I have been recommending it to everyone i know who is looking for one. the padding is great, unlike other holsters ive had this holster does not pull at my skin and it stops the pistol from jabbing into me. i highly recommend this product

Ordered product with separate billing and shipping address. Order was shipped to shipping address with billing zip code and therefore unable to be delivered. AlienGear re-shipped product (same slow speed) to proper address/zip. Now, gun is catching on elastic at top of holster. ShapeShift Shell appears to work properly, landing pads look fine, but gun catching on holster during draw is a workmanship problem. Returning item for warranty replacement. Hoping AlienGear will do the right thing and express ship warranty replacement so I can safely conceal carry with their holster more than 1 month after ordering it.

It a great holster, Easy to put on and take off. Small enough to conceal.

so i have had the 2 holster combo for about two years now. cant recommend it enough. 2 years of every day wear and i bet i get 5 more easy. i recommend the steel belt clips worth the extra cost for the firm grip. steel core belt is holding up nicely too. extra shell so you can change carry guns. just shut up and take my money.

I just got my holster yesterday a didn't get around to adjusting and trying it out until this morning. It is my fourth holster and second for my Walther PPQ M2. This holster is so comfortable and adjustable I can wait to order one for my Gen 4 Glock 19. You hardly know its on, fits like your own skin. Hell, I might even ware it to bed

Ive been waiting to buy this holster it is a great fit for my taurus g2s i recommend buying the extra shells for the shapeshift starter pack im going to buy extra shells for mine it just seems like it would be easier to use that wat but a great product i would recommend it to anyone and will

I've been using this holster for about a year with my Ruger LC9s on almost a daily basis. As with any holster, it takes a little time to determine the best carry position for comfort and use. Currently, I wear the IWB at the 2 o'clock (appendix) carry position, with the holster adjusted to the highest attachment point to reduce interference with my thigh while sitting/driving. Every aspect of the design has held up well, and for the most part all the screws have remained tight. Periodically, I have slightly tightened them as a part of routine maintenance. Recently, I added a LaserMax to the front of my LC9s. Fortunately Alien Gear offers just the outer shells (which I just purchased). Not having to replace the entire holster is another great benefit of this design, and Alien Gears business model. I'm still trying to determine how much wear the holster is putting on the finish of the front of the slide, but it hasn't been too bad yet.

Holster is comfortable. I bought it for my Walther Creed. I can wear it with most button up shirts tucked in. totally cool there. Obviously its not the most comfortable while driving. But that's to be expected. My only complaint is that the belt hooks will work out over time and go AWOL. other reviews for the belt hooks said that warranty covered the replacement... Apparently its hit or miss as to how good their warranty actually is. I am not impressed. Their products are good, service may or may not be. Apparently there is holes in the "Iron cladness" of their warranty.

Just got my shape shift holster, I have no problems with it at all very comfortable. One of the best holster I found and best website.

More comfortable than my 3.5 Iwb I wear it every day my shirt stays tucked better and feels more secure I recommend alien gear to everyone I meet who carry

As a friend of mine once said before you find the perfect holster for your firearms you will accumulate a drawer full of holsters and he was so right. I can not say enough about the quality of this holster and the way it fits my Sig Sauer P365, the thumb release works like a charm so your firearm can not just pop out and fall on the ground or wherever it decides to land. Also the staff at Aliengear Holster is by far the best with knowledge of there products and the customer service is tops. The holster fit me so well My wife wanted one for herself, so guess what I ordered her one also. If you need a holster for your firearm do yourself a favor look here at Aliengear Holster I be you will be as happy as we are with there products.

Love the holsters in the shape shifter system. Only wish they would give credit to customers who had already purchased previous products by Alien Gear. Shape Shifter system has made them obsolete for me.

So i recently bought my Springfield .45 acp its my first handgun. I am a lefty and its difficult to find a left handed holster. I was told about aliengear by a friend . Got my order yesterday and the set up was easy. And its super comfortable for iwb carry. I love it and will only be getting my holsters from aliengear from now on.

One of the best holsters ever made, so comfortable you can almost forget you are wearing a holster. so well made plus great in summer with just a tee shirt conceal your hand gun well. Plus guaranteed for life plus, free shell exchange if you change guns what more would you want. I own six of these holsters.

I purchased this for a Glock 23 and am not disappointed. It is comfortable all day and even when driving. I did not have to adjust any of the screws and it fit my gun perfectly. I did swap out the nylon clips for belt loops to make it a little easier to take off when I get home, but otherwise love it.

This is an amazingly comfortable holster. It attaches very securely to your belt and you forget it is there. It's design greatly reduces the print of your firearm. It's quality is outstanding. I would definitely recommend this product for anyone who is looking for a high quality holster at a great price.

I've had my concealed carry permit for 4 years and never carried until I purchased the Shape Shift Core Carry Pack. I carry my Sig P365 IWB and hardly know it's there! I also bought a Shape Shift Shell for my P320 full size that I'm going to use OWB at our local sportsman's club and a holster mount that will enable me to mount either gun on a hidden hard surface in my home. The holsters are almost infinitely adjustable without tools, light and strong, The kit has so many parts it can be a little intimidating but Alien Gear has a neat video that makes the holster's shape shifting easy and fast!

It took me forever to find an IWB holster for my Springfield XDs 45 ACP 3.3" w/laser. Finally after months of searching I stumbled upon Aliengear. The holster arrived on time and I was surprised about the adjustable fit and how well it conceals. I highly recommend and even purchased one for my Springfield 911.

I am a big fan of Alien Gear and constantly push the product to all my friends. This is not a complaint on the product because it has done everything it said it would do. But as for the ankle holster it is not something I would recommend. I had a hard time putting it on and positioning it the way I could feel comfortable with. It may be more me than the holster, but unless you just got to have it then I wouldn't buy it. After the failure of trying to get it to fit it has set in the package it came in on and in the drawer where it has collected dust. I can urge enough this is not a knock on the product because it is an awesome product but the ankle holster did not work for what I wanted it to do.
