Holster for shield ???

[BigJoe Rooo]

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?

The Shield is so easy to carry in an OWB holster, are you open to that?

I got a great IWB holster from http://www.firearmholster.com/

I also have an Alien Gear, but I prefer the Firearm Holtster that Gavin makes.

For EDC which will be most of the time I will need to IWB.

I have no personal experience with this company, but I'm starting to hear good things about On Your 6 holsters and mag holders. Their products seem very reasonably priced.

I'm also not a Kydex fan, but their holsters seem well designed and you have choices. Most of their holsters offer adjustable cant (which I like a lot) and you can get your holster for different belt widths.

So you might take a look at them.

I'm WAITING(???) to love my Alien Gear IWB holster for my Shield 9 and my Glock 23. About 7 weeks now and that's UNACCEPTABLE!!!

I have a DeSantis Cozy Partner IWB for a Shield. If you like IWB holsters, it is a fine one.

I cancelled my order for an Alian Gear holster after waiting a month a a couple of weeks. I did this after I visited their Facebook page and seen dozens of other people complaining who claimed to have placed an order before me. On top of that, I hear the retention is c-rap...

Bianchi Allusion™ Model 135 Suppression™

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

Do a regular google search for "Alien Gear Cloak Tuck" and you'll find a few negative reviews about the cloak tuck. Alien Gear (aka oldfaithful holsters) in itself has a pretty good reputation (besides the usual 'wait time' complaints). When they were lesser known, turnout time was very quick, but once they got more well known as a Crossbreed alternative, as popularity grew, so did their wait time.

Personally, I don't go for holsters that are made to order (have a wait time), so the first place I check is the Crossbreed Seconds site. Unlike the 'Regular' Crossbreed site, No waiting, usually Half Price and (normally) one needs a magnifying glass to actually find the blemish.

Good quality Belts too.

2nd that....have two already, and another double stitched in two color being made. Gavin's holsters are the best bang for your buck out there. AND they have a sweat shield and fleece backing for comfort!

Have you contacted the Alien Gear people? If not, why not? If so, what did they tell you?

But I kinda have to agree with you about the long wait time. Seven weeks is too long to wait for what's basically two pieces of plastic that's probably already pre-manufactured and waiting on the shelf to be shipped.

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.

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.

Look at HighNoonholsters.com

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.

I realy like my N8 holster. It is by far the most comfortable of anything I have tried and I have a drawer full!
