I've had the Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 3.5 for a bit more than a year. I find it's my preference if I'm going to be out walking and standing. If I'm going to be seated more than up and about, then I prefer a basic leather pancake holster.

Anyone using an Alien Gear OWB holster? If so, a penny for your thoughts?

I had one for a small 1911. I used it for a week and sent it back. It was too thick and I felt like an old time gunfighter. Might have been ok for competition holster or for a woods gun.

Yeah, I've been doing internet "research" for the past hour or so, and the AG doesn't get high marks for comfort.

I've got 4 of the owb slide holsters, one of the cloak paddle holsters.
I prefer the slide for comfort and effortless concealability under an over shirt. I've found the comfort is gun dependant. I don't even know when I've got my shield on, my M&P compacts are barely noticable. But for whatever reason, I notice my P365, a lot.
The cloak paddle isn't noticable no matter what I have in it. It's tight enough it doesn't need a belt, and if not using a belt, it's easy on, easy off. When using my belt, I don't put paddle inside my pants, and I pretty much have to feed the belt in and out as it's tight enough it's a chore to try to install or remove otherwise. It doesn't conceal as well as it's bulkier.

Which model are these reviews referring to? If it's the original, I understand, like a new pair of shoes the leather bases needed to be worn and broken in. Once broken in, though, they are amazing. If you look at the 3.0, 3.5, and the newer 4.0, these are terrific right out of the box. My best testament to Alien Gear is from a trip several years ago. I had to travel to New Mexico to pick up my Granddaughter. I wore a Beretta 92 IWB for 3 days straight. Never a moment of discomfort. Their OWB Cloak Slides are great. I actually carry my Shields, M&P, and 1911 in one of these.

Yep, that's the holster I have 4 of. It's also the only holster I use when I want to carry a 1911 cause fits it to me well. Price on this one is hard to beat.

I got away from the Aliens for my Smith, just didn't protect the gun form my skin when wearing a t-shirt for cover, I went with the Houston IWB. Softer, thinner and separates the gun from my body.
I have an AG Shapeshift AIWB for my Shield 9mm 2.0. I often forget I am wearing it.... I also have one of their holster mounts in the center console of my car, it fits perfect. I like the whole set up. Plus a lifetime warranty, can't beat that.
