Holster for shield ???

Thanks guys. A few companies that I have not heard of on the lists above. Not good to hear that Alien Gear is this far behind with their orders.

But that applies to any Kydex maker. The holsters are probably just parts in bins, waiting to be screwed together, have the edges polished, then packaged, packed, and shipped. Unless a company has maybe a backlog of thousands of orders , I'd say five to ten business days should be ample time to deliver the goods to a customer.

I'm a holster maker and... no.

Kydex does not just magically get molded to the shape of a gun in each choice of color,cant, side carried etc etc, then cut and shaped, drilled, put together, the fit checked.


Alien Gear is a big name so 7 weeks + seems pretty excessive. I think most around four. I'm at two but I'm a small shop and mainly go off word of mouth.

I have a Comp-Tac Infidel (IWB) for my Shield 9mm; pictured is their Glock 19/23/32 version.

I have an iwb, tuckable, with a single adjustable clip that came from mccabes custom leather. I love the holster, however it took a long time to get, like 9 months. but like I said, I love the holster.
I have a kydex 2 clip one like you and others have shown. I found it would cause my boxers to ride up. the single clip one seems to take up less space.
 
Shield Holsters REMORA

I tried a few before I found the Remora holsters. I have one now for my 642 and my Shield.
Because it is not restricted on location or cant, I can put it anywhere I need based on my clothing choice.
It is the most comfortable and secure holster I have. The weapon never moves and is easy to draw and replace. But with no hooks or clips or clasps, it gives me the freedom I wanted in an IWB holster.

Plus they are reasonably priced and the owner is a very customer oriented person.
 
FOXX, similar to CBST and other Kydex manufacturers has a quick turnaround time (at least they used to). I have several of their products for my Shield. The only thing I don't like, not necessarily related to FOXX (since most Kydex makers use 'em), are the metal clips. The bottom of the clips, that sticks out/away from the body, tends to make small holes in clothes over time.

I had both the Foxx hybrid & Little Foxx for my SD9VE but sold them with that firearm. Went out and got the shield and immediately ordered the same two holsters for my new EDC. I ordered them on Friday and expect them by no later than Thursday.

I upgrade to the kydex clips ($6.50) which is what I did before and they work very well. In short, I wore one or the other for the better part of 3 1/2 years basically everyday and the quality was tremendous. $39 shipped (before the upgraded clips) is a great deal.

Foxx Trapp for me. Extended slide guard, upgraded clip. Best thing out there.

I also bought their grip enhancement for the Shield. Similar to talon grips but not quite as aggressive.
 
I have an original alien gear iwb and I will say I love it I'm small framed at only 5ft6 and 150# and I can completely conceal a fs m@p40 and have no problem wearing for 10 hours but I was truly disgusted with my 11week wait and poor communication from there customer service but I'm glad I didn't cancel once I received it and tried it on
 
Watchdog,
I have not contacted them but they send me a "we haven't forgotten you...........thanks for your patience...." e-mail about every two weeks.
They also "ensure" me that they appreciate my bsiness. All that for what it's worth.

Nothing says "we care" like an automated email.
 
I have a Alien Gear Holster but I had the backing and just order the shell for my Shield. I have both style the first one and the 2.0 I love them both. I also pick up a Blade-Tech softy holster and a Stay Holster Kydex which I can just grab and go.
 
I use the Bianchi Allusion™ Model 135 Suppression™.

  • Very comfortable holster
  • Easy to get a full grip on the draw stroke
  • Re-holster one handed
  • Belt c-clips are very inconspicuous (unlike some that are huge and have emblems on them)
  • Mesh covered foam backing is very comfortable even in hot weather.
  • Tuck-able
  • Reasonably priced, around $50

I don't know when you bought yours but, they're $78.00 now.
 
I had a R. Grizzle City Slicker 2 for my Ruger SP101, and really liked that style. Ordered a Tucker Texas Heritage last night for my Shield, as it was hard to beat the sale price of $85, for an all leather tuckable holster.
 
I ordered my holsters from Foxx on Friday the 24th and received my tracking number for both products today. I expect to have them delivered by Thursday.

Great product, great price point, unbelievable customer service, and turnaround time. It's worth a look for sure.
 
I currently have a simple iwb JBP ambitexeriois belt slide holster for my Sheild. I am looking to upgrade and get a better holster.

I have a friend that has an Alien Gear cloak tuck 2.0 and raves about it.

Has anyone tried one of these?

I use the Blade-Tech Nano IWB for both my Shield 9mm, and my "Pro-Series" SW1911 Sub Compact .45acp. Sometimes, I can still feel the SW1911, but most of the time, I don't even feel the Shield back there (4 O'clock).
 
I just ordered a Cloak Tuck 2.0 for the Shield 9. It was clear during the checkout process that the wait time was 6-7 weeks. From reviews I have read I was willing to wait it out or I would have passed and went for something else. Hope it lives up to the reviews.
