I have had this OWB holster for about 3-4 years now and its the most comfortable one I've had. I now need to buy another one because the leather is starting to wear pretty bad, but its been on my hip probably 350 days every year. (Posted on 8/26/2020)
Better than the IWB original Review by DAVID

I purchased the first IWB years ago and HATED it. I had to use a shell that came close to my pistol. After a few modifications, it worked ok. The biggest flaw was that the holster did not go past the grip. Thus it bit into you whenever you sat or bent over.
PLUS you had to buy pants a size larger.
Purchased the Cloak Belt. It's OWB, but a million times better. Love that the holster goes above the grip, and the shell actually fits my pistol.
Keep up the great work. (Posted on 3/12/2020)
retention completely inadequate Review by DK
Quality

Bought this because I liked the modularity of it. One of the guns I intended to carry with this is a glock 26, but unfortunately, the shell molding does not lock into the trigger guard enough to give secure retention. The gun can easily pop out of the holster during vigorous movement. And before you ask, yes, I tried all the different sizes of rubber spacers. There was no combination that created a decent fit.
I contacted support and got basically a shrug and a blank stare. They didn't seem to think there was a problem, and offered nothing to resolve the problem. Needless to say, I won't be buying another alien gear holster. I much prefer my holster from a competitor. (Posted on 1/20/2020)
Alien Gear Holsters responded:
Hello DK, thank you for the review and feedback. Our Cloak series holsters are passive retention holsters so they do rely on the screws and spacers to adjust the retention. They also rely on the tension from your belt. We recommend wearing your holster tight against your body. With the shell, if the holster is adjusted too tight it can cause the firearm to not fit in the shell correctly and it may cause it to be pushed out of the holster. Please reach out to our customer service team if you have any additional questions regarding adjusting the retention.

Poor Quality and Service Review by alex

After very little use, in under two years the belt loops broke. Wanted me to send the entire holster back for warranty, would not send me the parts. Very poor quality and service.
I do not recommend. (Posted on 11/26/2019)

Hello Alex, thank you for the review and feedback! With this specific holster, we actually are unable to send just the loops. We do want to make this right for you, if you reach out to our customer service team we can work with your needs!

I ordered my first holster from Alien Gear and realized after placing the order I chose the wrong model. The support team was extremely helpful and very responsive with my issue. They took the time to ensure that they were sending the correct holster to fix my error. I look forward to buying from them again!
Thanks guys! (Posted on 8/22/2019)
OWB Walther PPS Review by Richard

The OWB was ok. It would be nice if the backing was higher to enable the gun to go in easier. The leather loops have loosened up over time (so do all the screws) and it tends to flop around a lot now. Support told me over chat they can replace the base under warranty, but still comes with the same sub standard materials. It was good while it lasted, but time to switch to another brand of OWB holster. If the backing was cut higher and the belt support was a hard material, sure, I'd send it back in for replacement, but it's not that great. (Posted on 7/8/2019)
Alien Gear Holsters responded:
Hello Richard, thank you for your review and feedback! We do have a specific holster that may work better for your needs. It is the Cloak Belt holsters. Having the higher backing and the plastic belt loops, it sounds like something that may work better for you! Please reach out to our customer service team and we will be able to get that taken care of for you!

Alien Gear Cloak Slide OWB Holster fits so well with my new revolver. Super comfortable to wear. Easy to holster and unholster. Very smooth. My experience with the OWB for my auto is exceptional also. No other holster I tried feels this good. (Posted on 2/11/2019)
Very Happy Review by Hugh

Recently got a first generation Sig P250c and was looking for a good quality and comfortable OWB left handed holster for concealed carry on a fairly regular basis. Being left handed and a rather larger guy that can be a pretty tough task.
After some research and talking with my father in law. I decided on the LH OWB cloak slide holster. When it arrived the first I recognized the quality and craftsmanship of the Alien Gear products. So the the next day I took it for a test run, I wore it all day with no discomfort and best of all complete concealment. These holsters are great and I look forward to future Alien Gear purchases!
P.S. one of my favorite parts of these products and this company is that they're made right here in the U.S.A.
