Alien Gear Holsters Reviews

Shape Shift 4.0 in a comfortable holster. I purchased an IWB and could feel the improvement over the 3.0 I have worn for about 3 years. Great packaging and instructions I'm going to try the level 2 retention button (included) verses the adjustable twisting retention.

I have had SEVERAL holsters and nothing is half as good as Alien gear shape shift kit. From conceal carry to OWB at the range, it does it all. Definitely worth every penny. Spread the word!!! Alien gear is crushing the competition.

I'm really liking this iwb holster. I am carrying my all steel 4.25 inch 1911. Comfortable. Weight is balanced. I'm impressed Definitely a holster to consider if you don't have one yet

i've never had customer support greater than alien gear!!!. And well let's be honest there's not another holster out there that compares when it comes to comfort and capability... They're surpassing everyone!!! Thank you Alien gear

This is a superior setup. The versatility and adaptability make it a great value, Of course durability will be tested over time, but I anticipate a long service life.

As a new CCW carrier, I bought the pack to get a feel for the different types of carrying. My thought was to spend $100 for the pack now and then I could drop money on holsters of the types I like best. I watched the videos and saw how quickly and easily they changed the shell to the different formats and I though "yeah right." But it actually is that easy. I use IWB for every day and it's very comfortable (when I do notice it at all).I have one critique and that is that the AIWB is a little thick. If there is a way to make that slimmer that would help a lot. And my only complaint is that they don't make the shapeshift for my PX4 Storm (full size).

best concealed carry holster,These things are built to last ! Strong material and so many options ....unbeatable ! Fyi get the shaptshift kit with all the options and pay alittle more for shipping ....mine took 10 days to get...UPS to USPS .

all you need in an iwb; solid, comfortable and adjustable. fits nice, doesn't fail. great customer service, too. and btw; good concealment, too!

Fits my Pro Covert w/laser grips like a glove. The material is comfortable and not the tacky feel of leather, it's actually soft an seems to breath. Have only had a short time but can say will not use leather for IWB ever again. Also truly great customer support will recommend to all you won't be sorry.

I received my Shapeshift holster kit a couple weeks ago and was very impressed with the whole thing. The kit contained everything needed to understand the pieces in the box and how to assemble the four different carrying methods. It is super comfortable to wear and made with very high quality. I would have no other holster system.

Bought the holster to carry my backup weapon on duty. Unable to do so. The retention strap at the bottom doesn't fit with anything higher than a low top sneaker. I wear high top duty boots and there was no way to make it work. I also wear some medium height boots and it wouldn't fit in those either. I wear skinny/slimmer fit jeans off duty so definitely wouldn't be able to use it that way either. It seems like a good holster but just not for me or my purposes. Also the instructions were not very informational as far as taking it apart or adjusting it. I spent 20 minutes fiddling with it afraid to break it.

Four screws removed new shell on very nice fit. Now I can rotate what I carry sense I shoot all

I am extremely happy with my purchase. The holster is very comfortable, fits like a glove. I also like the additional spacers and the belt attachment that was sent with my holster. There are a lot of ways to customize this product. I have spread the word to my LE Friends looking for a great holster. I only wish I had more pistols so I could purchase more holsters.

I've been using other hybrid type holsters for years and I loved them. Having trouble finding one for the Steyr s9, I thought I would try Alien Gear a shot. What a huge difference! This will not allow the gun to slip out at all, even with the biggest spacers. The clips also will not let go by accident, due to the way they are made, and very rigid plastics. I'm second guessing the other holsters now. These are very much worth their price. I'm extremely confident with the security of the weapon staying where it belongs. Kudo's to Alien Gear Holsters!

I've only had it for 2 days, so I haven't been able to give it a real good go, but man I'm so freaking happy with this holster!!!. When I got it out of the package, everything was already assembled, all I had to do was adjust the retention. Which was so easy and quick. As soon as I had it set up, I put it on, and man! I'm gonna tell you what. It is soooo comfortable. This is my first concealed holster. I've always had an owb on. Which was always sticking out, and hard to make discreet-ish. Do this is a different world for me. Once I got it in position, and right where it was a feel good draw for me, I was amazed by how much it really was concealed. And what amazed me even more was the fact that it was almost unnoticed being there by me. It didn't get in the way of sitting down, The backing is so soft you couldn't tell it was there almost. I'd swear that if it wasn't for the weight of the gun, you'd forget about it being there. I am very very pleased by this. And the fact that I can get more options to carry with the same holster made me even happier. I am very very pleased, and plan on buying more set ups in the future for my shape shift. Many many thumbs up. I've been telling everyone!!!

The IWB configurations are good. The OWB configurations are so bulky and wide I'll never use them for daily carry, I want to be able to put a shirt over my gun when carrying OWB but the options here put the gun so far out there it can't be hidden.

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!

Had to swap the shell on my Cloak-Tuck 3.0, The new shell came in record time, and I was up and carrying in less than ten minutes. Great fit and finish, Superb customer service. I will be back to try a Shape-Shift next.

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've bought 10 or so of the AG shells for the different semi autos. Haven't been disappointed yet. They fit like a glove. I highly recommend them. They work great on the 3.5 Cloak Tuck neoprene backing.

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
