Ive heard good things. A member on here posted positive things about it but i cannot seem to find the thread now

[brocglock23 4]

I've looked at these before and they seem promising. I probably will wind up ordering one with an extra shell. I just forwarded the link to this thread to aliengearholsters.com asking for them to comment and answer questions and to consider a discount at a group buy or individual. Hopefully they come over and say hi.

[NYMetsFan86 9]

That would be nice, good call on that one

I ordered a holster and second shell for a P99 and G36 back on January 5. They have advised me they're very backed up and to expect a three to four week delay. I'll post up comments when they come in.

 

FYI, they charged my CC the day of the order. I recommended they reconsider that policy and not charge until they ship. They haven't responded to me about that yet.

Nice. They are now sponsoring the walther forums, thats how I found them. Hopefully they'll do the same here

I noticed their ad in a few magazines, read some of the reviews online. Appears to be a good quality product and I like that you can interchange shells as your needs change. I would like to see them sponsor us.

They have good reviews I am ordering one for my ppq

I have IWB holster from SHTF and Goldstar, I have been looking at the AlienGear for my Sig P226, Probably going to try them as I can get the holster plus An extra shell for my Sig Sp2022 and use the same holster when I change what I carry in different seasons.

[kirk2022 43]

Just over on Sig Talk and they are now A contributing sponsor on that for as of today.

[AlexTheSane 236]

I have one, wore it for my vacation in Florida.  Very comfortable and secure with my G23.

I never cared for IWB holsters of that design. All those paddles and clips are more to hide. That paddle gets hot and uncomfortable in the summer. I much prefer a minimalist IWB like a Milt Sparks Summer Special.

It is technically legal. Most companies only charge when they ship. It is against VISA and MasterCard's regulations for a merchant to bill their cards prior to shipping. 

 

Contrary to what some sources indicate, the Fair Credit Billing Act does not address if it is legal for a company to charge you before shipping the product. Instead, it makes it illegal to not ship within advertised time period (or 30 days if no expected shipping date is mentioned in the agreement). If a merchant says "this item takes 90 days to ship", then they may bill right away and not have a legal problem if they ship before the 90 day window.

YEa.. it is... thx

[brocglock23 4]

Just an update. I just left a voice message with their sales department explaining that a thread was started on here and what we were hoping for. I gave them my name and number to call me back. Soon as I hear something I will let you know.

I am reading on a Springfield Armory XD/XDm/XDs FB page there is alot of complaints about them charging and also long shipping times. While some say they got theirs rather quickly,

[checko 180]

Its totally legal. We do it all the time. Need to generate a purchase order before anything gets moving

I have one for my xd 40 and am very satisfied with it. I received it mid summer last year and put some miles on it. the adjustability of it is great, and the clips hold well. I have one pair of jeans that are a bit snug if I carry in the 3 o'clock position and squat and bend over repeatedly the rear clip will come up. other than that issue with that particular pair of jeans I have no complaints.  if I recall it was a little slow on the shipping... maybe a week behind schedule at the time. but still way faster than cross breed

Has anyone with one of these holders practiced drawing?

 

I have a Crossbreed Supertuck and I have one of the MacKenzie holsters from the guy that advertised here on the forum a couple of years ago.

 

The clips on this Alien holster look like the ones on the MacKenzie. They stick out pretty far compared to the Crossbreed which are more "tucked".

 

I find when lifting my shirt to draw with the MacKenzie, my shirt catches on one of the clips because it sticks out so far.

 

Doesn't happen with the Crossbreed.

 

Like to know if anyone with one of these has the same problem.

 

Thanks.

I haven't experienced any snagging when dealing with the AlienGear holster.  I've practiced quite a bit wearing t-shirts, sweatshirts and sweaters.

[njpilot 671]

Thanks Alex.

[tinman22 0]

I havent had any issues with snagging either.

Anybody have the black leather? I'm curious if it stains your skin if you sweat a lot.
