Not safe! Do not purchase. Review by Jeff

This is my third Alien Gear holster and by far the worst, most unsafe, design. Based on my experiences I will be looking into different holsters going forward.

I utilized this holster on a 7-day hunt in Prince William Sound, Alaska. The holster was carried 16+ hours each day, so I am very confident in my experiences with this holster. Starting at the top, the holster does not offer any protection for the safety lever, which caused branches to disable the safety three times during my trip. Carrying a locked and cocked 1911 without the safety is dangerous, which was never my intent.

The next issue, the magazine eject button is not protected. On two separate occasions the magazine dropped from the pistol. Thankfully, I was able to recover both magazines as I heard the metallic drop sound.

Moving down, the barrel is not protected at all in this holster. On several occasions, I had to slide down cliff/hillsides, which caused the barrel to get plunged full of debris. Only the outside of the holster has plastic, the side against your leg is fully open.

With the inside being fully open, every branch was tearing into my Sigs finish, which caused damage to the firearms cerakote. I don't really care about a woods gun getting finish damage, however, it's not acceptable for a poorly designed product to be the cause. (Posted on 11/3/2019)

Since purchasing of this holster, I only have a few things to say. 1: I wear this holster every day and I love how it keeps my far arm in the exact position i need for a sold, clean, and quick draw. 2: customer service at the time of purchase helped me out very quickly when I accidentally clicked right hand instead of left hand. 3: The only downside that I have found is the velcro main loop that attaches to my belt remains stiff as well as it walks around my belt. But as for security of the velcro, I have to pry it off to take it off. Which is very good. (Posted on 7/20/2019)

Not impressed Review by Mattie

The gun likes to rotate to front of my leg when running. The strap to the belt rubs on my fingers when drawing gun from holster. Still to much tension even with larger spacers. The screw for the larger spacer was extremely difficult to set. I am very surprised because I have loved everything else I have purchased. (Posted on 4/9/2018)
