- Fun Gun Reviews Presents: Alien Gear Holsters : Is it Hype or Quality? I've seen the slick marketing and all the ads but figured it was a cheap design considering the price. Let's check it out.
Thanks for watching~ Sootch00

I remember watching this review back in 2015 or 2016 when I was looking for a quality holster. 5 years later I’m still rocking the same Cloak Tuck Original patent pending IWB Holster lol. Thank you for having made this video, it was my driving force in this purchase and it remains to this day one of my best purchases. At the time it was like $45, and it’s paid itself off many many times over. This things gone through multiple handguns and 5 years of literally everyday wear and it’s help up immaculately! Thanks Sootch for a solid and honest review!
Sootch: I wasn't interested, until they sent them for free.
Funny how that works ^.^
I have had the original design for over 3 years now, carrying every day and it still hold the same as the day I got it.
These are high quality and I have no issue recommending this company to anyone who asked what holster they should buy. Really great products and really great business practices all around.
I have 3 of their holsters. They are very good quality, comfortable, and nice looking.I've swapped out shells, and the turnover time was 7 days for both. I paid the initial shipping and they pay the return shipping. They also send extra screws, spacers, and an Allen wrench with each swap. This company is the real deal and their merger with old faithful holsters only allowed them to expand in quality. I highly recommend this holster company!!!
I've *almost* bought Alien Gear holsters on several occasions. Very good review, as always. I particularly liked your demonstration of the clip styles. (going to take some discipline not to blatantly copy you on that!)
Great job as always!
That was a great review!!! Thank you for taking the time to put this together. I've been looking for a good concealed carry set up and this is what I will be trying next. Nice touch with the bloopers.
I've had an Alien original for years, but only recently realized I can get a FREE replacement shell, now that I have changed pistol make. You have helped me understand the value of neoprene in daily use, as well. Your analysis, as always, is very thorough and helpful. Your outtakes at the end were really funny -- maybe funnier, as your standard message is always serious, and you revealing that you are not "perfect" teaches the rest of us, it's okay to be imperfect, and even funny. I'm very grateful for your ongoing excellent work.
great video and review on these holsters scootch...I own one and they are well worth the money they cost.
God, I still just dont get the whole scanning 360 thing.. I understand you need to be aware of whats going on around you because you could develop tunnel vision in the event of a high stress situation, however, the whole "Owl" spinning your head around seems ridiculous
Your looking for threats. Making sure there is no other threats and breaking tunnel vision. Problem is alot of people just go through the motions but are not actually looking.
It's range theatrics that absolutely nobody is going to do in an actual confrontation. Who stands still and snatches their gun back rather than moving their body with their scan and quickly changing position? People that learn stupid habits.
It's ridiculous to assume there's only one threat.
It's not theatrics. Once you stop the threat, assess the threat...do you need to re-engage. If not, scan for another threat...and I highly suggest you do so without pointing your gun at anyone/everyone around you. If there are other ccw people around, or off or on duty LEO's, they probably didn't see what caused you to shoot but they will see that you just shot somebody and are now pointing your gun at them. Now you are their threat.
@@jeffohmart7053 A low semi-extended ready could accomplish the same without almost completely breaking your shooting form. Yes, we're not waving things about, but you do not have to snatch your pistol all the way to your body to be passive. As for scanning, you'd want to do so as you move to an advantageous space like cover or a less open area to prepare for further contact, not stand still and wait for it to potentially come to you. Twisting your head about in a dangerous scene without attempt to move away from it makes no sense outside of limited space.
Thanks for the review! I saw their brand but there are just so many holsters I didn't know what to go with, but knowing more details about their holsters in terms of quality, feel, and weight has pretty much made me decide on my next holster!
Sir, I love your channel first and foremost. Thank you for this review because I was thinking about getting one the holsters to try and you convinced me. Keep up the excellent work and thank you once again...Jason
Now they have the 3.0. Time to do another video. ;)
3.5 now
I'm a fan of mine so far; especially for the $
Alien Gear - love mine and recommend! Great customer service, guarantee and excellent quality
Quality. I own two of them.
And how has that worked out for you three years later? Seems like they have been shit.
Also, any hybrid holsters are garbage.
Sootcho00,
After watching reviews on TH-cam for the last couple days it was so refreshing to see that you took the time to produce a quality video. I just want to hit on a few points specifically that I enjoyed.
-You didn't repeat yourself
-You tried the product before offering your review, so many will review right out of the package...
-You showed me the product in use including some fit and re-holstering
Thank you for your quality review.
I know that when I watch your videos I am getting accurate, quality information and reviews, thanks for keeping it real!
I wish that alien offered a holster to accommodate having a weapon light set up
Bought two last week. the claock tuck 3.0 IWB. returning them tomorrow..
arbilois Why? And what do you prefer, why?
seen it on Facebook decided to see if anybody did reviews found your video and now I'm sold thank you great review a lot of good information
I agree with your assessment. I carry a full framed 1911 and this holster is one of the best I have had for IWB carry. Thanks for the review!
1:00 even harder to locate a quality holster, if, like me, you are left handed... I am hoping my OWB I just ordered doesn't disappoint... Coming from an Archery upbringing, I tend to be fairly demanding when it comes to carrying things on my body... Thanks for the great walkthrough!!
Edit: they even make a holster for the Hi-Points!!
all I needed to know. thanks.
+Adam Mack Well, I have been wearing my holster every day since I posted this, and now I have 2 more of them, a cloak slide for my ruger sr9e and for my hi point 380, as well as a tuck 3.0 right handed for my ruger, these holsters are fantastic!
The purpose is two fold. 1- To scan for any additional threats. 2- To help break tunnel vision. The second to me is the most important, and if you have ever studied the physiology of a shooting, you'd understand it's importance.
Thanks Tony.
A couple of deep breaths REALLY helps with vision. Moving prior to shooting may give you the advantage too. The bad guy may have tunnel vision and you may disappear if you move three feet to the right.
I had to do the same thing when qualifying for my armed guard license.
Good info guys.
It's not limited to shooting....we have to struggle against our natural responses in a *fight*. The natural response is to focus on the known threat. If you think it's limited solely to shooting, then I invite you to spend some time on the mat in a decent martial arts training facility.
Hype? Or quality? That's exactly what I thought when I first saw their ads. A buddy of mine ordered one if their holsters and I was very surprised. It is definitely a good, quality piece of gear that will hold up well for many years. I've got to get around to ordering mine.
Great review Sootch. Keep up the good work AND the proper training. Always watch your 6!
Thanks for this video! I was a customer of Old Faithful Holsters that has since merged with Alien Gear and now own a couple Alien Gear brand holsters as well. I do not get to carry everyday due to a restricted carry permit (NY...go figure) but my assessment of the products is the same. I even felt the same way about the Cloak 2.0 until I tried it and as you discovered the comfort is top notch. In the past month I even had Alien Gear recommended to me during a chance encounter with a local LEO that had nothing but praises for the system. I really appreciate you reviewing the OWB holster. I have not yet had the opportunity to try one but have been interested in them and by your review I see they are still pretty concealable for being OWB. Thank you for the straight forward, no nonsense presentation of the information. Great job!
"We're going to check to make sure it isn't loaded, and it is..."-- HAHAHAAA!
Interchangeable shells available for different heaters???
retiredin96 yes all shells fit any base great for multiple firearms.
Perfect timing as I just picked up my CZ 75 P07 yesterday. Thanks.
Excellent review! Thank you for such a detailed video on their products and options!
I love my 2 holsters from alien gear. they are great for the price.
Oh and if people want a negative, the 4-6 week wait sucks
Chris Kelly Mine took 8 but I like it, so no biggie.
I love the 2.0. It is so comfortable i forget i am carrying a gun. I have even carried it into work and a bank before because I forgot i had it on.
tyson cargill Is it wrong to cc into a bank?
Michael Wood it's only wrong if you get caught lol. In OK it's illegal to carry into a bank. It's also illegal to wear a hat and glasses but I do that all the time just in spite. Don't know about other states but I think you can carry into a bank in Arizona. (at least that's what I was told)
Michael Wood totaly up to the State laws.
Thank you for the great review Sootch00. I own three Alien Gear holsters and they are terrific.
Nice review, thank you! I've been trying to decide on a holster for weeks and this video helped a great deal.
I'm not a huge fan of hybrid material holsters especially leather because it gets 120 degrees + in southern Nevada but they seem pretty good at an awesome price point. For the record Sootch I don't wanna see you review a shit product just to appease these fools on here looking to fuel some sort of agenda. Keep doing what you do! Mick-
Thanks Mick.
I hate having to check the screws every time I want to use My Alien Gear Holster. I have the 3.0 and twice the screws have loosened and the Holster has fallen apart... I think they should include a tube of Loctite with every purchase..
So go get a tube of loctite...
I had that issue with my Leatherman Raptors holster. Bit of Loctite, and it hasn't loosened up on me.
Thats kinda what every tread locker ever designed is for...
just saying.
use blue loctite, it's possible to break it with simple torque, but prevents the screws from walking out.
Jiffy GS easy remedy! Use a little lock tight!
Thanks Sootch! I have the Hidden Hybrid Holster that I truly love but I am going to be spending a lot more time in the southeast thus I was happy to know that Alien Gear makes a neoprene backing in one of their holsters for those very hot days. If HHH does not make a neoprene backing holster then I will give this Alien Gear a try. Thanks for sharing and good luck on the 23rd!! 🇺🇸🔫👍
I love the 2.0 I got few weeks ago, after a crossbreed and old faithful, this is just as solid imo.. Also. The leather ones were creating wet spot that actually began surface rust on the m&p. The table mat holster is a great barrier and no wet gun issues. Lighter, just as solid, and no rust issue, I'm in. .. TNJR
Love your channel sootch, but is there anything you don't like?
Ton's of stuff. I don't review crap I don't like.
People ask this question all the time. It seems they fail to notice when Sootch has criticisms of a product, even though he likes it overall... And like Sootch said, why bother reviewing stuff that sucks, when there's so much good stuff out there? Yes, negative reviews can be useful, but so are good reviews, and I imagine good reviews are more fun.
Howjadoo22 I couldn't have said it better Howjadoo22. It takes so much work to produce a video and good solid products are what motivate me. Yes, I do point out issues that I see or preferences but it's not about what fits my style but the design of the product and quality.There are too many great gear options out there to bother with stuff that has inferior quality or poorly designed.
Please call me out if I've missed something or misrepresented a product, because if I have, it's not intentional. Too many people buy on my recommendation and I take that VERY seriously...... my word is more important to me than anything I review. Thanks~
Consider everything he reviews as gear he likes and everything he does not review to be things he does not consider quality.
FILMZ1994 Well I wouldn't go that far, I guarantee there are things he'd like that he hasn't reviewed yet.
3:14 MAGAZIN... oh... sorry, force of habit.
You're right, they're clips. Carry on.
Defx10 I did the same thing.
Okay, that's funny.
Haha
Haha good one
I was looking at buying a holster to start carrying my pistol. This video really helped me out. Thanks for the great work! Love your channel!
Have had my alien gear IWB for many many years, still like new other then the normal gun imprinting, super super comfortable! A MUST BUY!!!!
"Knee-Oh-Preen"
;-)
Been watching Cory and Erica huh? xD
ErikBeckner93 Took the words out of my mouth
Great review Sir..... I have been looking for a IWB holster for some time now and I ran across Aliengear after watching your review I order both the IWB and OWB combo for my full size and compact M&P. Keep up the good work sir
I'm a little picky about who I Subscribe to, but the last shot of you having to put on the glasses made me laugh out loud and it won me over, thanks for the video. I use Alien gear as my primary now, great holster, comfortable and concealable.
0:16 unnecessary range theatrics
their customer service sucks , I guess they got too popular too fast. didn't even get try out holster Cuz they couldn't manage to get it to me after I ordered it
Really good video review ,well done. I've been carrying the cloak tuck 3.0 for for 2 months now and am really pleased.
EXCELLENT, informative, and easy to understand and follow along with the examples. A BIG thank you...
sootch the promoter for everything ever made.ill call them tell them ill do a review
and get a free holster.
OH GOD looking both ways before holstering just makes me angry. It's tactilol just like you see all these "operators" on TH-cam with their stupid "push" stance where they look like a robot. None of this is necessary to shoot a gun well, it hinders most as they focus so much on this shit and not just shooting the gun well.
It may look silly to you or whatever, but it is a smart move (do it before drawing too). Just off the top of my head, Google the Las Vegas cop killer couple from back in June that went into a Wal-Mart and planned to kill responding officers there as well. Joseph Wilcox, a concealed carrier, did try to engage the male shooter. The female shooter walked up behind him and killed him because he never considered there were multiple shooters working together. All too easy to lock in on one and lose situational awareness. If we could ask him, I think Mr. Wilcox would tell you that shooting a gun well doesn't much matter when you never get off a shot at all. Interestingly, the couple killed themselves right after that, so Wilcox still stopped them. I guess they chickened out when customers started trying to take them out - don't think they planned on that.
I have no idea why they even do it I allways wonderd what road are they about to cross what is the supposed purpose of doing this?
NO it's checking for additional threats before you re-holster, It's good to practice it so it becomes habit to scan for other threats, Sootch has been doing that in many of his videos...And why do you have the screen name xXxBlackwaterXxX
If you have "operators" so much? Blackwater has been the biggest posers of the real "Silent Professionals" such as US Army Special Forces and US Navy SEALs...Just saying, We didn't have any respect for Blackwater while I was in the military since they didn't abide by RoE and put our guys at risk because they wanted to act "Operator" for other trash like Haliburton...
totally agree, and they put 15 accessories on their rails lol...nerds...but hey, to each his own
Yeah to be fair to some of them, Some do have military background.
Great review! I was a little skeptical about them but you answered my questions. Thanks!
I have several of these holsters and I really like them. I just purchased the cloak tuck package for my Glock 30s and it is great. I pretty much only use these for all my carry needs. I even suggested they make a holster for the Canik TP 9 and they returned my e-mail the same day. This is a great American company and you will not be disappointed.
are they going to make one for the tp-9?
Another fanboy toy!!! Okay , here's my opinion. I wear business attire to work everyday to include dress shirts which require tucking in. I just recently bought a new S&W Shield .40 a few months ago. The day it arrived i purchased a DeSantis SOF-TUK holster because it was highly rated, available in store locally and very inexpensive. There a couple of things i didn't exactly like about it at first, but overall, this holster was really nice and i liked it a lot, until; Until the day i decided to buy an Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 3. I watched all the videos and listened to all the rave reviews and man, did it look cool. I could not wait until it came in. it did, and i got the whole package of goodies. I was happy. Then....I put it on. Something wasn't right. The fit, was tighter, bulkier, harder to maneuver and just plain weird. My first thought was , okay wear this thing for the month they provide and let it adjust. This is week number three. Today I am wearing my DeSantis SOF-TUK and what a difference. I will not purchase or wear another Alien gear holster. It was the most uncomfortable holster to date. Why? Okay, I'll list the problems i had:
1.) It was bigger and bulkier than my DeSantis. I had to adjust one extra notch in my belt. My pants were very snug (almost uncomfortable) and was so after 8 hours.
2.) The belt clips would NOT remain in place. They insisted on canting outwards. They wold not stay straight up and down, and looked very awkward on my belt. I can provider pictures but i think you get it. The belt clips would not remain vertical.
3.) I read about the screws coming loose and they were right. I tightened all of them after opening and one week later, all of them were loose. Probably why the belt clips kept moving. (okay, i could have used loctite, but why should i have to?)
4.) The width and height should have made it more comfortable, but it didn't. The top of the holster poked in my upper back, while the wide sides of the holster poked in my lower back on occasion.
5.) now the really fun part. Try tucking your shirt into this baby...Holy crap dudes/dudettes! This took 5 or more minutes in the bathroom in front of a mirror to get right. You have to tuck under one belt clip, then tuck down behind the holster, then tuck behind the next clip, and then finally you have to untuck/blouse evenly from the non-holster side back around the holster side. This took time and often i had to completely undo and redo. (p.s. they make it look so easy in the videos, lol.)
6.) and finally the straw that broke this proverbial camels back; Drawing my weapon! Everyday when i come home, I practice drawing from the holster before putting my firearm away to get used to drawing from this holster. On several occasions after i came home, i grabbed my shirt and yanked upward as if to draw, only to find the tucked in shirt was caught up underneath the holster or under a belt clip and i could not draw. AT ALL. I ripped one dress shirt in the process. DONE!
I am sending this holster back. It looks amazing! It comes in neoprene! It has super detailed kydex shell! it has the cool alien logos and comes with stickers and extra goodies. But at the end of the day and as much as i hate to write this, it is the most uncomfortable and unwearable holster i have tried. I really wanted this holster and tried for weeks to make it work. Today i am wearing my DeSantis and I am very happy!
Good luck to those who purchase this holster, and i hope it gives you a better experience.
I see in one of your comments that you dont review bad stuff. Ok to that. BUT, there are no such thing as a perfect item. Everything have pros and cons.
An objectiv reviewer will tell both.
That's what the comment section is for, calling me out. So what point in the review do you think I missed? Give me a con? It's an inexpensive holster... are there higher quality options? Sure, if you want to spend twice the price, but you won't get twice the quality IMO.
***** I agree, have been using the original IWB with a M&P 40c for six months. just ordered the new neoprene backplate and will swap my kydex onto it
***** I'm with you 100% on this review. I was skeptical because of the price BUT I now have 3 of these myself and will keep getting new shells with any new gun purchase. And I will say, I like this holster MORE than my crossbreed.
This review just sold me on the alien holster. I was looking at them and was wondering since it was so inexpensive. Thank you.
This is not just one of the best Alien reviews I've seen, it's one of the best "holster" reviews I've seen. This video is even better than holster maker's marketing videos. You show practical drawing demos wearing a T-shirt. That's what we want to see (not some posed model in a pressed shirt purposely to conceal any impression) 3 guns +3 different holsters, materials description, 360 close ups, weight. EXCELLENT REVIEW! Not sure if I'll buy but the only concern you didn't inform is if I should get their gun belt. EXCELLENT job
+maximusmarine and yes I know they now have the 3.0 but this review still stands up
Alien gear is shit. The screws on the clip constantly loosen on there own. They also make it to big. They need to round the bottom and figure out a way to keep the screws from backing out. Hidden Hybrid Holsters are the way to go.
+j pun DUH! They told you to put some stay or clear fingernail polish on them.
j pun I tightened the screw once and have worn it all day everyday for the past 3 months... most comfortable holster I've ever had.
are Loctite or nail polish completely foreign to you? If you're too much of a puss to be seen buying nail polish, then buck up and buy Loctite and quit your bitching.
1stFallschirmjägerRgt Haven't had to use them on mine yet.
I’ve experienced what you’re talking about, I went to my local hardware store and picked up some Loctite threadlocker (blue 242) and that solved the problem.
Whats he doing? Checking to see if he shit himself after he fired? Dude, its called situational and spatial awareness. You should ALREADY be aware of your surroundings BEFORE you fire.
You obviously have no clue. Gunfights aren't static.
I do have a clue thank you Mr Keyboard warrior. Its called situation awareness. You CAN be aware of whats going on around without taking you eyes off the immediate threat that you CAN see. This exaggerated looking all around after firing two shots is bad discipline. But, hey you're one with the mighty internet. You're obviously way smater than me.
Yes, obviously I am smarter than you. Thanks for at least acknowledging that. Where are your videos showing the proper way to gun fight? Oh I forgot, there are none.
Name calling? Refuting an argument? I can (and admittedly did) do both, albeit with a heavy load of sarcasm. But its called reading comprehension. Not being an attention seeker is a very valid reason for not having posted any videos. I already have the knowledge, so what do I care if you believe me or not? I have nothing to prove to an anonymous asshole too afraid to even post with his real name. I could, if so inclined (which I'm not, cause you really don't matter) provide proof of my employment history, the fact I've literally been working with guns and explosives since I was a child due to my dad, my extensive credentials in various martial arts, the weapons courses I've taken, or the armorers courses I've taken since I decided to legitimately start a small business as a gunsmith, but I won't. Cause again, the opinion of a keyboard warrior means nothing to me. But by all means, continue to embarrass yourself to the internet. Very obviously, my attention brings you validation, and you so desperately cling to it you'll continue responding.... But I won't. I got better things to do. I await (not) your next irrational response.
lol
I ordered my 3.0 on 2/3/16 around noon. Because I liked your review of it. I received it today 2/6/16 put it on and loved it. Thanks !!!
Great review as always. I own the original cloak tuck and carried a Sig P250 subcompact .45 for some time in it. I later bought a M & P Shield 9mm. I called Aliengear customer service and I swapped out the shell I had for the sig for one for my Shield. Free. No charge. The customer service rep was very polite and helpful, which kinda surprised me. The quality of these holsters is pretty darn good. I can't see paying at least twice the price for another brand when these are as good as advertised. I carry every day, all day and they are comfortable. I just bought a 1911 rail gun and need to order one for it. This time I think I will go for the tuck 2 since it is supposed to be even more comfortable.
I stopped watching as soon as he did that stupid look left & right thing after he shot. Opinion ofically invalid.
For real! Who would practice clearing the scene like ya should before returning your gun!?! Safety?? NO!
"As you train, so shall you fight." ...and that's the truth. (he DID look really awkward while doing it, though, lol)
RevRichmond1
If you don't practice something, it won't be second nature. I've had several police officers recommend this to practice for when the time comes, you don't have tunnel vision after shooting someone but are used to checking the rest of the area. Make sure his buddies aren't coming. Don't discount. If you don't want to, don't.
Yah sorry but I'm not taking my eyes off the potentially still dangerous / armed man that I just shot to look for his "buddy" that only could be coming from my left or right....not behind me..... Perhaps in your fantasy land when you shoot someone they instantly die. In reality that does not happen.
Jared W no need for rudeness, just stating why it's done. Other people have stated the same thing on this thread. If you want to watch him bleed out and get shot from the side, go for it. Its to help from getting tunnel vision. Best of luck to you.
At least spell officially right before you claim your authority over the internet.
Thanks for another good video. I've been doubtful of this brand so it's good to see a thorough review.
I'm buying the ppq Monday and was hoping to find a way to conceal carry it. Ive only seen you conceal sub compacts. I'm so happy I found this video!!! Thanks sootch
I have a Bersa Thunder 380. I've had a hard time finding a good holster for it. After seeing your review I went to the Alien Gear website and checked it out. I chose the Cloak Tuck 2.0 IWB holster. It is the most comfortable holster I've ever had. Thanks for the review. It was spot on.
Great holster review,you answered all the questions I had reguarding these holsters.
I had been on the fence until this review,I will order mine tomorrow for a taurus pt 111
Great review. Just received my cloak tuck 2.0 and wore it all day yesterday...couldn't believe how comfortable it was. Highly recommended!
thanks again sootch just ordered my first 3.o holster. keep making the vids
They run great deals on these all the time. I ordered two and a extra shell a couple of weeks ago, can't wait to try them out. good review.
I have used alien gear for years..and have them for all of my pistol and have had zero problems..The 2.0 by far is the most comfortable holster I have worn...great holsters.
I have a Cloak Tuck for my FNX 45 for about 8 months now and am very satisfied with it.
One thing worth mentioning is that their shells are not kydex but plastic, that being said, nothing wrong with plastic, and mine has held up well.
Thanks for the thorough review. I just ordered an IWB Cloak Tuck 3.5 from them.
Great review, I bought the 2.0 IWB for my Springfield mod2. I carry it with the 16rd clip. The holster is comfortable to wear all day long. Even here in Florida with hot temps I find it easy to carry all day long in the heat. Great review, great product, I highly recommend this holster!
Love ur Videos Sootch. Everytim i look up gun stuff i try n see if i can find one of urs. Keep it up.
I already ordered one and I am just waiting for it to show up in the mail. So excited.
I finally bit the bullet & bought the 3.0.I've had it about 3 weeks & use it every day, carrying either a full size or compact 1911What an amazingly comfortable holster. I can carry all day long, even longer when I'm at home also. I can sit, stand, move around without being uncomfortable.I also got the OWB cloak with the deal. Haven't used it as much but with cooler weather upon us, I'm sure to use it more often than the IWB.Thanks for the great review Sootch.
Great review! I'm waiting on my 2.0 for my S&W M&P Shield. I never really cared for carrying inside the waist band, but this one looks really comfortable! I will be happy to get it.
I have the cloak 2.0 coming and I can't wait this video made me want my holster more, great review.
I just ordered the cloak tuck 3.0 with the stainless insert, looking forward to trying it out. This is a great channel, thanks.
Have had mine since April and love it. Its also the first holster i have found made specifically for my CZ SP 01 Phantom.
My brother just purchased the 3.0 combo. We will see if he likes it. I have the 2.0 IWB and I love mine.
I keep hearing great things about this company. Good video as usual Sootch
Thanks so much for the review I've been looking at them and getting ready to order mine
I'm one of their earlier customers. I now have five of their holsters.
Really comfortable.
Left handed Bersa Thunder 9 Ultra Compact? No problem, had it in 4 days!
Waited about 8weeks for holsters, and it was worth the wait, they notified me via email when they were shipping it out and they followed up the day it was shipped out. Fits very very comfortable can't complain about it worth the money!!!
I just looked at one of these on-line last night. Thanks for the time to review it!
Love this holster!!! I have a Cloak Tuck 1.0 for my Ruger P97. The P97 is one of the few guns that is not included in their selection of available holsters. I ordered the P90 holster and it was almost an exact fit. I modified the small variations with my paint stripping heat gun. To increase the retention, I heated the area that covers the trigger guard and pushed the kydex into the opening of the trigger guard just enough to create a little bump inside the holster. I also ordered extra shells for two other pistols and change them out as necessary.
I've had the cloak tuck 3.0 for over a year now as part of my EDC and I am very impressed by it. Extremely comfortable, great retention yet cleanly releases, lots of nice features. You will want to use Loctite on all the bolts holding it together or they will work their way loose eventually. That's really my only criticism.
I have one of the cloak tuck holsters in black and I love love love it. Very high quality material and workmen ship. The leather is thick and the pack of extras you get is great. Amazing product and they stand behind them 100%. I would recommend them to anybody.
I ordered a left handed 3.0 for my new CZ Rami and they couldn't get it right because of the safety version and decocker version of the gun. It took them 2 weeks to ship the holster, which usually takes 2-3 days and they gave it to me for free. That hooked me...that my friends is what you call real customer service.. love the holsters and now have 4 of them. Buy with confidence, you won't be disappointed.
excellent review, thanks sootch!
I bought a 3.0 Tuck for my PPS. Very comfortable for all day wear and no sweat problems from the neoprene. Secondly, you can order different holster shells to fit the harness; I can get a shell for my Sig Sauer, Kahr, etc. and change the shell as I change the weapon.
I bought my Alien Gear 2.0 IWB several months ago. I got it for my PX4 Storm Compact, but it works great with my Walther PPS without changing shells. It took about a month from order to delivery, but so worth the wait! Because of the adjustable cant, I can carry my 12 round capacity PX4 with a T shirt and shorts.
Nice video! I already ordered two of their holsters and am glad I did! Thanks!
Good stuff! Looking forward to that ALS Ice water vid!
Ordered. I was lean toward alien gear but this video sealed the deal..
Thanks Sootch00!
Great quality and great price, got the cloak and tuck 2.0 - soooo comfortable, thanks for great review and I highly recommend it too!
I ordered the cloak tuck 2.0 earlier this month. I am eagerly waiting for it to come in. Awesome review
Good review, thumb up! Coincidentally, I was just on Alien Gears site last night, and suddenly this pops up on my recommended youtube videos? Hmm.
Best review of the Aliengear I have seen. Thanks I now know this is the holster I want.
I have a couple of hybrid kydex/leather holsters which I like. I did look at the Alien Gear for a new pistol I just purchased, but decided to stick with Comp-Tac. Looking at the Alien Gear kydex shells, the flat flanges on the sides of the shell where the screws are fitted are excessively wide. That doesn't seem like it would be comfortable to me. Looking at other holsters like the Comp-Tac MTAC or the SHTF hybrids, the flanges are MUCH narrower and I gotta believe they would fit the curve of the hip better and more comfortably. Each to their own though, and as sootch00 said the price point on the Alien Gear is tough to beat.
