I'm all for good retention but I do not expect to have a perp try and shoot me with my own weapon. I choose a holster without "positive retention" features because I do not train with the gear regularly and do not want to have to remember how to present the weapon under stress. Simply pull and extend.

I bought an Aliengear holster to see what the hype was all about. My opinion is that it’s an entry level holster for novices. For day in, day out carry I’ll stick with my Milt Sparks and TT Gunleather holsters. For Kydex, I used to swear by Raven Concealment until they took a shit. I recently purchased a couple of Tulster Kydex holsters and they’ve been decent. I’d save my money and get a decent holster.

I bought it because of the flexibility. I have custome leather holsters too and they are superior. but I like the systems approach. What specifically is entry level? Fit is great. Materials are solid. Retention is excellent. Comfortable. I think you might be a gear snob. Of course I haven’t worn it yet for 10 hours at a time yet. We shall see. For $99 for four different configurations if it turns out to be shit, who cares. Besides, I don’t get in very many gun fights. If it conceals, is comfortable and had solid retention, I’m good to go. I have one custom piece that has no markings so I can’t remember who made it. It’s damn perfect. I believe it took five months to get it. Pissed I can’t remember. |

Again, probably a fine holster for an entry level user who doesn't plan on carrying a gun 24/7. I’d say the Shape Shifter is “good enough” at most things, but not great at anything. Since my mode of carry is pretty consistently IWB, I’ll take the holster that’s widely considered “the best” at IWB. |

I did notice the retention scheme just last night. That’s actually pretty shitty. (The holster has a small adjustible tab that locks onto the trigger guard - definitely will mar the weapon.) I should know better than to ever doubt your gear knowledge. Right on. |
