Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 3.5 IWB Holster - Comfortable Everyday Carry Gear - Custom Fit - Sleek and Durable Profile - Right or Left Hand - Made in The USA

I've worn many holsters through my career both on and off duty and I have to tell you, this is one of the best holsters I've had the pleasure of wearing. Comfort: I was so impressed on how comfortable it was to carry my 3" 1911 that I bought a second one for my 3" 9mm. The holsters confirms to the body and holds the pistol in place without concerns of mishaps. The trigger is protected and it has three positions you can adjust for depth in your trousers. Retention: The pistol holds secure. If you were involved in hand to hand combat scenario, the pistol would stay in place. We tested it on the mat and was pleasantly surprised on how it protected the pistol and remained in place. My pistol never moved or shifted while wearing this holster. Position: Carrying the holster in the 1-2 o'clock position was not as comfortable as carrying it in the 3-5 o'clock position. I highly recommend a good belt to lock that holster in place and practice your draw to adjust to the proper height setting of the holster. Printing: With other holsters, I was very conscious of the type of shirts to where to minimize printing. With this holster, I found I can wear just about any shirt, pants/short and it does a great job in minimizing printing.

The fitment for my Shield 45 was perfect, easy to access and very comfortable to wear. As an added bonus it fits my Shield plus just as well. Great holster! I'd recommend it to anyone.

This brand was recommended to me as the best holsters sweat proof and comfortable to secure the gun and trigger by the 25 year instructor and former officer who travels and trains all over the country. It makes the gun well secured. I am a very tiny person and I do not recommend this style if you have a very small waist and wear mostly leggings. If you are a woman and built small this brand I would highly recommend but the belly holster they offer instead. It’s more expensive but well worth it !! I highly recommend this holster for handguns to men. The company is excellent and comes packaged well. This is not comfortable at all to wear and do not order if you are a tiny built person or woman with a small waist. I recommend if tiny to order the more expensive but highly comfortable belly band instead. Alien Gear is the BEST and comes recommended by law enforcement

Here’s my disclaimers: I’m a bit critical with my holster I’m not used to carrying 4:30 This is a large frame gun I’m attempting to conceal. Now that that’s out of the way here’s what I like: More comfortable than most Concealment is pretty good when standing still or sitting Very modular and customizable If you’re skinny enough (I’m not), you can feasibly carry appendix semi comfortably, just make sure you’re wearing a big shirt My gripes: God forbid you bend over, everyone in a 2 mile radius will see you’re carrying even on the low tuck setting. Not ideal. Retention is meh, I personally like that positive “click” when you’re fully holstered. You don’t get that with this guy, even after tightening the retention screws. It’s taxing putting on and taking off. This is probably my biggest issue with this. If you know it’s going to be a pain to put on, you’re less likely to carry, especially if you’re in a rush. On top of that, if you need to remove it (say you’re walking into a bar or a courthouse and want to leave your gun in the car), it’s not a quick and discreet process. I also find that I need to wear my belt tighter than usual to keep it secure, which is annoying. Overall it’s not a bad option by any means. I’m concealing a large frame g20, it’s not going to be an easy task. I expect a bit more out of my holsters but this will definitely get the job done if you’re limited on options.

I've had issues finding decent holsters for either of my Caniks (Elite Combat & Elite SC). I finally found an Alien that supported them. I picked up the SC since that's my EDC. I'm 5'8", 160lbs, mid 30 waist and right handed. I initially kept wearing this in the 1-3 o'clock position. It was well enough if I were standing and walking but was an absolute bear if I kneeled or sat down. I adjusted the cant/height and couldn't make it work for all situations. Two weeks in and I finally realize I should keep spinning this puppy around to the 4-5 o'clock and it all clicked. Finally I have an incredibly comfortable holster. The pistol is held tight and secure. You have a few combinations of customization to meet your needs. My only gripe is one of the hex screws holding the shell keeps coming loose. It seems to only hold on by a couple threads so I may search out or make a slightly longer one that I can thread lock. Overall though, a complete 10/10. Comfort for me and my canik throughout the whole day of driving, walking, kneeling, climbing etc...
