Runs With Fire
Black Belt
I have had my alien gear cloak tuck holsters for a week now. I have been carrying my glock 20. I staryef with it on my hip in the 3 o-clock position. But my tool pouch either blocks it, or makes it stick out. So I went to small of the back. Doesn't work well. It sticks out every time I bend over, which I do alot in carpet installation. So, I went to apendix. The holster comes with a 15 degree can't. That made for a pretty goofy draw from apendix, however, the company makes it easily adjustable. I went with more of a 0 degree cant. Besides all the jokes about packing big "firepower" and the "I couldn't handle a gun pointing at my prize possesions" it seems to work alright. The holster I have is leather backed with a moulded shell. Once the leather softened, it was fairly comfortable for shoving a large pistol in my pants. I do think the holster will wear out fairly soon, as it takes alot of streach as I am constantly bending over and crawling arould on the floor. But nothing in my job ever lasts long. I may consider a pistol that's thinner and a tad smaller as it just might allow the holster more life(smaller one should have less bend and pry to it right?, I need to experement with that. All in all, the holsters are nice and do their job.
P.s. if you read the alien gear holster manual, I didn't, it apherently tells you to apply blue loctite on the holster anchor screws after the desired retention is desired. I did not. I had two of four fall out, luckly the holster comes with extras.
