I got that new Alien Gear holster yesterday I put it on immediately to just see how if fit and felt. My first time with a IWB holster and I had a helluva time getting it on the first time. When I finally did get it figured out, I wore it the rest of the day. WOW, this thing is truly comfortable and does not pinch like the old paddle holster did.

It has six different screw positions so the deepness of wear can be change and the cant of the pistol can be changed. I changed the cant of the pistol and how deep it fit into the pants. This morning, it went on like I had been doing it for years.

Now, for that fat nekked skin:

Nice. I really like mine. I got the black neoprene one and really enjoy it. Again, I like the fact that if you change up carry guns, they will swap you the hard shell for the new one at no charge. Very adjustable too.

It's constructed like the two I bought ( IWB-OWB ). I don't think weight plays a big role with putting them on. I'm 5'8", 147lb. I had a dickens of a time putting it on the first time. I wear a dress gun belt on my pants, brown/black, so it wasn't the belt. Seemed a tad awkward for some reason. They're both great. Pleased you worked it out.

Order one of them. In the paperwork I got with mine, it says you can return it within 30 days if you don't like it or for any reason at all. It also has a lifetime guarantee on everything, ifd something breaks or wears out they will fix it - forever!

I just ordered one for my 1911 a couple weeks ago. I have a Milt Sparks Summer Special and it's an awesome holster but not without an undershirt between you and the holster. I'm tired of wearing a tank T under everything especially in the summer. Looking forward to being a bit cooler. if it works out I'll get shells for other guns or additional holsters. Their HQ is in Hayden, ID less than 10 miles away from me. Tried to buy direct from that location but they are only set up for internet sales. Maybe if I needed customer support I could do it in person.

In May, I ordered another holster for my Son's birthday. While I was ordering, I added one of their Neoprene backings for mine, I like the neoprene better than the leather. I will say that there is one thing that I am disappointed with and that is the plastic belt clips. In about three or four weeks the plastic hooks were all twisted out of shape so I ordered a set of steel ones, I like them much better!!

I'll keep that mind. Did you upgrade to the 3.0 backing with the spring steel? I ordered the 3.0. I watched a bunch of videos and reviews before I ordered. I was torn between the Cross Breed and Alien Gear but the Alien Gear seemed like it would be more comfortable.

No, my original one was bought before the 3.0 came out. It is the Cloak Tuck and at that time I did get the spring steel clips. When I ordered my Son's, it was the same thing and I did not get the steel clips on it. When I gave it to him, I ask him is he wanted the plastic or steel clips. He told me steel so I swapped them out and I kept the plastic. Like I said, the plastic ones were disappointing so I ordered some steel clips and threw the plastic ones in a drawer.
