Springfield XD Mod.2 4 inch Service Model Cloak Chest Holster

Good buy, but could use a couple of upgrades. Review by Karl

This is the third holster I've bought from AlienGear. Their quality is unbeatable, regardless of the price. I bought this chest holster to go hiking, fishing, and hunting. Overall, I'd recommend this holster for those activities, but with two comments.

First, the shoulder pad is uncomfortable when wearing a pack. The material is hard, which is nice when by itself, but when hiking with a pack, the nylon webbing is more than enough to support the weight of a firearm. I had to remove the strap from the buckle in order to take the pad off, an easy fix, but I wish I didn't have to unstitch the strap to make this alteration.

Second, I don't know if this was a QC issue or if was designed this way, but the strap that goes around my back to attach to the holster was not adjustable. Once again, I had to undo the stitching in order to make this strap adjustable. This is a necessary adjustment to make the holster have a snug fit around my torso and make the draw stroke tight.

Once again, this is a good holster for outdoor activities, and I'd recommend it with those two points. The shoulder pad might only be an issue for me, but the side strap was a necessary fix. The rubber strips on the nylon works well to keep the holster in place and the modularity is awesome. I was able to easily change shells when I changed my woods carry gun from a 9mm to a 10mm.

I bought the chest holster for my ruger speed six 357 4in barrel,and yes it does fit this holster.I called ruger and found out what the cylender miked out to and then had mine miked there was about a 100 thousandth of a in difference between the two guns. the gp100 and my speed six. the only thing I wish is the one stripe that goes around the chest was about 12in longer.other wise its is a good holster.Thank you Art B (Posted on 12/20/2020)

Chest Holster for Cycling Review by John

This solved my problem of carrying while riding my bicycle. I have been carrying a G42 in my rear jersey pocket but I didn't like it. So, I ordered an AG Chest Holster. Problem solved! It fits under my race cut jerseys with no problem. I wear an under armour type shirt under the holster to prevent chaffing. Now I always have a secure, concealed, easily accessible pistol on my bike rides. Thanks AG! (Posted on 10/25/2020)

Chest holster for 1911 platform Review by Kim

I have always loved alien holsters. The chest holster I had ordered is great except the snap clip had been sewn on backwards and i had t cut stitching to reverse the adjustable clip, so it would not dig into my side while wearing it. It is something that could be easily looked over.. but having to cut a brand new holster to correct a problem is irritating. I had thought about sending it back, but i did not want to wait another 1 1/2 months to get a new one. (Posted on 9/13/2020)

Glock Fits like a Glove inside Chest Holster. For me, I can wear Holster over either shoulder. There are many Details that I Like about this Rig, but I only have 1 issue with the Stitching on the Nylon Strap with the plastic buckle, that goes under my Right Arm (Right handed Holster).

Needs a few tweaks Review by Doug

This is a great design and generally uses quality materials. However, it has two serious short comings: 1) Only two of the three straps are adjustable. All three should be for optimal fit. 2) The six rivets holding the straps to the holster base and back web are prone to fail (heads pop off), rendering the holster useless. I would implore Alien Gear to return to the screw and post fastening method they originally used and is pictured in their photos. The switch to rivets was obviously a cost cutting measure that is unwarranted and compromises quality and durability. A screw and post system would also make it easy to switch between revolver and semi auto bases without having to have two sets of straps. (Posted on 7/18/2020)
