I agree on your #1 choice. I wear the Aliengear CloakTuck 3.5 and forget im wearing it all the time. I was outside just yesterday and bent over to pick up a rock to remove from my patio and had to think if i was wearing my holster or not..reached around to make sure it was still there. That's how comfortable it is.

Alien gear also has a solid trigger guard on both sides I love my alien gear holster hands down the best and I’ve bought a lot.

Love my alien gear shapeshifter holster best holster I've had so far

Great video, Chad - we certainly appreciate the shoutout!

Very good video. A few years back, I purchased the MP Shield and got the Alien Gear Shapeshifter holster and love it. The padding on the back without any screw posts is the way to go. I love the fact that it is toolless also. A few days ago, I purchased the Hellcat and now all I have to do is buy the shell for the Hellcat and slap it on my existing base and I’m good to go. AlienGear has a customer for life. The price, comfort and Gun Expansion system is amazing for me. The quality is there for sure.

Great clean and thorough straight to the point review. I appreciate it brother

Great rundown! I just want to add that you don't need to buy the whole Aliengear starter set for $100, you can just buy the shell and piece you want without needing to get what you don't.

I have one of the newer black arch holsters and I have to say they are my favorite holsters of all time.

At the end , he said it was a bit long winded. But, I really enjoyed his presentation. And I like how he isn't a slow talker. Awesome.

I really like how the pistol and the mag snap into place on the 1st holster.

I have loved the StealthGear Ventcore Appendix holster

From the moment I saw your intro I knew this video was going to be good. Subscribed within 5 seconds

Nice. Subbed saw the alien gear shoulder holster review on another channel. Highly customizable

I love the Allien Gear holsters. Very comfy like you said.

Excellent video filled with information and nuances of each of these four favorites. Well Done

Great video! Comfort is def most important for concealed carry. I will be getting 1 or 2 of these holsters because I am still looking for the comfort that will allow me to carry full time. Just subscribed!

I was confused with the black arch and alien gear holster. But after watching the alien gear shape shift video. I love it.

It’s been a while since I have been to your channel. Great content as always. You do an excellent job at providing great detail and allow us to take away what works best for our circumstances. I have to say that 125 dollars for a Last Line of Defense holster is not a good price. It’s a fantastic price for a top quality customized holster for your specific pistol.

I don't know why but I'm not getting notifications for your channel. Glad you're still here!

FoxX Holsters, plugging them since they are a local company to Michigan. They have three different styles of hybrid holster as well as two styles of magazine carrier.

Very informative. I'm currently looking for a more comfortable holster and you gave me some great tips and sources

Thanks for the information. I’m about to a gun and I was wondering which holster to get. Actually I love the alien gear. Thanks. You were very informative

Doggo sayin sup was my fav part of video. I knew the alien gear would come in #1

I am new to the concealed carry world and I definitely appreciate the break down. Thanks

Alien Gear builds exceptional holsters. From their beginning, they have always upd the bar in innovation. Great video.

All the way from South Africa 👍 brilliant video, excellant insight straight up real & honest commentry, thank you. Rory

Great video! Can you do a review on the M&P 2.0 3.6"? I've been wanting to get one as well. Keep up the good work!

Thanks. Helpful perspectives for a Newbie tryin' to sort out options.

Thank you so much for this video. I just got my CCL, and I was thinking small of the back was going to be the way I thought I would go, and the "muzzling yourself"... best info for me for sure. Thank you so much, had not thought of that! I'll be doing the 4 O'clock I think. Just built an AR so I don't have quite the price range for any of these holsters, but I like the Alien...probably get that later! Oh, and that got a sub, and notification bell click! Can't thank you enough.

I appreciate your honest opinion. I tried out a few different concealed holsters at the gun shop, including the crossbreed and alien gear ones, and I personally liked the fit of the alien gear the best. I was on the fence on which one to buy for my Glock 17 but after watching your video, I’m going with the alien gear set. Their multi-carry options make it very attractive for the price too.

Shout out to last line of defense! Been watching his vids forever now.

I realize this video is 2 years old, but I ordered a LLOD holster several weeks ago. I carry appendix, so excited to give this holster a try. Thanks!

Chad always knows his stuff. Last line of Def kydex is what I have and its stellar. Love it.

I Love my Alien Gear Holster. It works so well. wouldn't trade it at all.

Great review of these holsters.

Thanks Chad! Very helpful video.

I love the alien gear holsters also, I have a older one from 3 years ago with the leather backing, been using it everyday, they were 35 bucks , but just a great holster besides the price , im sure there more money now, but I will keep using alien gear, and really like that new one. Thanks

I already have the Alien kit in a shopping cart and now I think you convinced me to drop the coin and get it in the mail.

Excellent video. Informative and to the point. Liked & subscribed.

Excellent video! Very helpful and informative just Subbed! Thanks!

I carry with the Alien Gear IWB, but I modified it carrying @ 10 O'clock with a slight forward cant as a cross draw option. Mainly so I have full access while driving. I got the notion from watching Walker Texas Ranger I also saved $$$ by purchasing the Shape Shift System. It is by-far the most comfortable holster I have ever worn and has a Life-time warranty.

Long time no see bro love all the vids

Awesome video, this helped me out a lot. Thanks man

Ok...ok....I’m gonna try my first alien holster...Excellent Video Brother!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Chad I notice your sporting a Kore leather cc belt. I have same one and totally love it Oh and nice review of crossbreed holster too. You always do a super job dude, keep it up.

Now that's how you make a "Short & Sweet" KZfaq video! 🎉👍

Always wanted a shoulder holster ever since i saw the mummy as a kid when Rick o'Connell used it for his revolvers

Just bought the alien gear for my glock 19. Cant wait to try it out

I bought 2 of the #2 inside holsters 3yrs. ago. Didn't like how long they are. But I still love the Company.

Thanks for the suggestions. I've been trying to determine which holster to get. I like the first one you mentioned, Last Line, due to the clip holster.

Excellent critique, Chad! I, too, invested in the Alien Gear Core Carry Pack. I have quite a few IWB, OWB, and AWB, as well as a myriad of duty holsters in my personal inventory (Ret LEO). Wearing my shapeshift IWB 4.0 system is THEE most comfortable set up I have. It's my "go to" holster for my EDC (S&W M&P Shield 9mm). You forget its there. Nice review; totally not surprised it was your #1.

I love it! So perfect! Thanks!

Very informative video and found this helpful - good job!

So overwhelmed with options. I'm trying to make a decision. Some hate Alien Gear and others love it.

Hey Chad I agree. Like many people I have a draw full of holsters and see the merits of many. Best kydex have been from Vedder. Some leather holsters have good comfort but always lack somewhere else (poor retention, sweaty, whatever). My Alien Gear 4.0 is the one I always go back to as well. Works for 3 of my guns with a 10 second shell swap and gives me iwb, owb, and shoulder holster options for any given day or activity. Very innovative system. Less bulky than it looks on camera too. People who knock it haven't tried it. I use it for everything from subcompact to full size 10mm.

Great review, thanks.

Great video! Thanks for information!

Thanks I was looking for holster for my sig for when im out hunting plus everyday wear.

Mike made a glock.43(LLOD HOLSTERS) holster that is incredibly small and comfortable,.the best kydex holster I've used, and I've bought around 7 different brands, the Alpha concealment is top notch , but a bit bigger, my favorite for several guns is my Stoner leather vehicle holster, puts massed produced shoulder rigs to shame, and really comfortable, from ultralight commander to Shield performance center, to XDS mod 2.

Nice straight to the point video man 👍

Just purchased the Alien Gear solution based on your input. Thank you.

Thanks for the great review. I have been an Alien Gear holster user for years. I have two sized backers (small and large) and a shell for each gun I own. My guns range from the micro P365 all the way to a 1911 commander. My Alien Gear system is fantastic. It is comfortable enough to wear any carry gun all day and I forget that I even have a gun on my hip. I prefer to carry around the 3:30 to 4 o'clock position. I haven't tried the new system yet as my existing shells are not compatible with the new system. I recommend Alien Gear for their quality, durability, and their customer service is the best. Thanks again for the great review.

I have the Alien Gear Shape Sift. Really nice system.

I’ll be buying alien 👽 gear been debating on them and watched ur video so I’m sold.

The ShapeShift 4.0 is currently listed at $55.88 so if you want one good holster and you don’t want the whole Core Carry Pack then that would be your cheaper option 👍🏼 Great Video!!

I use a legacy firearms light bearing cronus. Love it!

As a point of reference for AIWB, Zorn and LAS CONCEALMENT Rampart are excellent. Zorn is slightly better for butt concealment but LAS is slightly more comfortable when bending over. Comfort is the same when sitting. I wore the Zorn yesterday and LAS today and no issues with either. I have no extra clip for either.

I agree with you on Alien gear. I have many holsters but when I carry Inside the waist I go to a alien gear vary comfortable . Plus the customer service is second to none for me at least. I got shells free for lights that came out before the shell was made. If it takes more than a week to ship it’s free.. That’s what they did for me anyway. Plus the free shell change is great.

Very well presented and articulated!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I just got my ShapeShift Core Pack yesterday. Love it. Very comfortable and versatile. A great solution to go from concealed carry to truck carry. Good video. Great info. Sub'd!

Great information! Thanks!

Great job. Thank you!

Small of the back you can really hurt your spine if you fall backwards. The new protos M with mesh is so comfortable. Also didnt mention the unique 3/4 trigger gaurd covering that locks it in like a full kydex holster.

Nice thorough review

Mike's holsters are my top favorite appendix,especially for a Glock43,it dissapears,real minimal

first time viewer . Thanks I've been looking for a holster for my 365 xl . Also first time carry also . Thanks

I just saw mikes holster selection. I will be ordering one for my 19 this evening.

Still rockin that give rise tactical in southern utah Chad! Still my favorite and best fitting shirts!

Good reviews . Thank you .

I still love PJ holsters. Slim, streamlined and quick to tuck.

Great review bro

Looks like the KORE belt I love! Own several

Great content 👍🏻

Thanks Chad, very helpful. 👍👍😎

Some good information. I've found sticky holsters work best for me

Have a Hidden Hybrid appendix, very happy with it.

I go with a galco leather shoulder holster for a glock 23. Very comfortable

Great video. Thanks.

Personally alien Gear make the best holsters, you have to tell them the exact model you intend to carry because they injection mold the holster so that it fits your gun like a glove and secures it, they are completely comfortable, Affordable and durable enough to last a lifetime! I bought mine for my Springfield Defender XD Subcompact 9mm for $59. I highly recommend them!!! P.S. I’m not paid to say this, I just love the product!

IWB, four o'clock, Clinger holster for 9MM. Concealed carry vest for .380 with extra ammo in other side. Those are what I like. Depends on weather, etc. Thanks.

Great video. Was going to try the 4.0 but nothing for S&W 45c. Guess I'll I'll keep looking.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Awesome job explaining

I have a crossbreed on the way but I love my alien gear as well since if I buy a new gun, I would only need to buy a shell instead of the whole thing!

Very helpful, thanks! I won’t mention the name because they seem like great people, but I’ve been looking at a light flexible Kydex shell holster with an ulti clip. But the thing is sometimes I’m going to be wearing the back of the holster against my skin (at 4:00) when I only have a t-shirt covering it. With this other I’d need to put the IWB against a shirt then a cover garment over that. I don’t think plain Kydex against bare skin would be comfortable all day. They all look good, but I don’t see me sitting down with an appendix style holstered pistol, so will check out the Alien Gear. Thanks again!

I like the sencond holster cause the back clip really helps pull the grip into your body and print so much less. The only issue I run into is so many companies don't make a holster for my EDC and some companies I can find make one for a similar model but I want one form fitted to my model even though the model is pretty much exact it's not exact

Bravo Concealment. Order 2 holsters for about 90 bucks. 1 outside waist band and 1 inside. Got them to me in about a week. Seems pretty good so far plus a 30 day money back. 👍🏾

Great upload

I'm with you on Alien Gear. Just wish they made light-bearing shells for it.

I appreciate the useful information, it has been helpful to choose my first holster.

Very helpful Thank you
