I'm looking at holsters and considering the Alien Gear 3.0. My concern with this or with any of similar style is how well it fits on women. I wear anywhere from a 6-8 with a smallish waist. Does the holster wrapping around your hip bother you or do you just get used to it?

You dont say what weapon you intend carrying. I use the holster you mention for the Shield and Sig P238. Loose clothes and a vest when weather allows. A Galco SB2 belt carries great. A proper gun purse when attire forces me to lose the holster.

The shield. Do you find it comfortable?

I use a Nate Squared (also known as N2) original holster to carry my j frame IWB. i've tried many iwb holsters and it's the only one that works for me. Very comfortable, and not outrageously expensive.

My wife uses a blade tech UCH with her 3913 ladysmith .She used the same type of holster when she carried a Glock 26/27.Only issue with holster is the screws need to be lock tighted.She carrys every day and it works well for her.

For my particular set of circumstances, I forget it is there. My carry comfort is built first on my holster belt. Then a holster that keeps the grip tucked in tight to the body at my preferred four o'clock carry position. Then clothing that conceals but gives access. Following these criteria, I comfortably carry a 686Plus revolver with a 2.5 inch barrel which is substantially heavier than the Shield. I also carry reloads in a magazine carrier or speedloader carrier. I am a largish grandmother and my size eliminates appendix carry but my petite granddaughter carries a full sized semi-auto at appendix position, even with snug tops.

Great thanks, I placed the order the other night , hope I like it.
