RE: Alien Gear Holsters - jfergus7 - 01-22-2015
I am thinking of ordering another holster soon and they still have the deal going for 2. Curious if anyone would be interested in going in on it with me and splitting the deal. Would save us both some money. Not in a huge hurry to get it ordered but would like to in the next month or so.

Have the Cloak Tuck 3.0 IWB on the way. Will see how it works.
RE: Alien Gear Holsters - AcilletaM - 08-17-2015
Been trying the Cloak Tuck 3.0 IWB for my M&P compact for a while now. Very comfortable. At first tried wearing it at the 3 o'clock position but it didn't feel right. The recommended 4:30 position did feel right and I really don't notice it is there, even while driving.

Thats good to know.. I'm about to get the new one for my xdm. I have the original for my xds and like it, but I want to try carrying my XDm so it's time to get a few holsters for it! Got one from RDA, now to get one of these to try out

They have good stuff but shipping is so slow.

Thats good to know. I liked what I saw and was thinking of picking up a IWB and a OWB.
RE: Alien Gear Holsters - Ringo3632 - 08-18-2015
Yeah the shipping took forever for my first one... It's been a year since then so I was hopeful they've made some changes but I'm going to assume not so I'm not disappointed when it takes a while...

Nope, nothing has changed. Ordered a Mod Pack Plus (basically spare parts for the holster) last month. Order was placed on July 26th, they dropped the package in the mail on July 30th and it was delivered on August 6th. Why did it take five days to take a package off the shelf and mail it I don't know. Just the way they do business.
RE: Alien Gear Holsters - AcilletaM - 08-18-2015
Yeah, my order took longer than they estimated. I don't think they stock anything so you wait until they do a production run.
RE: Alien Gear Holsters - Ringo3632 - 08-18-2015
That would make sense... Still sucks, but I guess if you plan for it, it's not as bad...
Anyone try the owb holster yet from them?

I sold my IWB 2.0 in favor of keeping my OWB. Maybe it's just my body or small size but I prefer OWB for from anything as large as a Glock 19 or larger.....just my preference.

Suggestion to anyone who may want to place an order with Alien Gear, call your order in and try to engage in a friendly conversation about how messed up the gun laws are in Illinois and Chiraq.
For those who are in a rush, you might try my strategy that I posted back on 12/31/14.
RE: Alien Gear Holsters - Ringo3632 - 08-24-2015
I forgot about that! When I can order mine I will most definitely call it in. Just in the off chance that I can get lucky enough to have the same good fortune.

When you say you sold your IWB and use the OWB due to body type. Please explain. I am not a slim trim small guy.

I'm 5'3" 145lbs. I have a short inseam. I just feel more comfortable with OWB.
Granted OWB is not always an option so I'm currently in search of the a more comfortable IWB for for myself. I have some old
leather/suede IWB pouches that fit my purpose for now.

I am 5'11" and come in at 226 so I know what you mean. I ordered the IWB from Remora and while it fits nice it is going to take some time from my body to accept it. I am looking for an IWB that has a higher mount middle or lower belt clip so the holster will ride a little higher. I am also wanting to get a higher end shoulder holster.
RE: Alien Gear Holsters - Ringo3632 - 09-01-2015
Bradberry what ones are you looking at? I've been searching a few different companies lately
RE: Alien Gear Holsters - Ringo3632 - 09-01-2015
Galco, stoner holsters, Tennessee Leathers holster, and the tagua were the ones I was looking at for my XDm 3.8". Kinda leaning towards the Galco at the moment
RE: Alien Gear Holsters - daveN - 11-25-2024
I know that this thread is ten years old; but I thought I would add a comment.
Over the years I have ordered two Alien gear holsters. The ordering process was easy, the wait was maybe about three weeks for both holsters.
I use the holsters almost every day, and I like them a lot.
five out of five stars
best
to all
