I remember watching this review back in 2015 or 2016 when I was looking for a quality holster. 5 years later I’m still rocking the same Cloak Tuck Original patent pending IWB Holster lol. Thank you for having made this video, it was my driving force in this purchase and it remains to this day one of my best purchases. At the time it was like $45, and it’s paid itself off many many times over. This things gone through multiple handguns and 5 years of literally everyday wear and it’s help up immaculately! Thanks Sootch for a solid and honest review!

Sootch: I wasn't interested, until they sent them for free. Funny how that works ^.^

I have had the original design for over 3 years now, carrying every day and it still hold the same as the day I got it. These are high quality and I have no issue recommending this company to anyone who asked what holster they should buy. Really great products and really great business practices all around.

I have 3 of their holsters. They are very good quality, comfortable, and nice looking.I've swapped out shells, and the turnover time was 7 days for both. I paid the initial shipping and they pay the return shipping. They also send extra screws, spacers, and an Allen wrench with each swap. This company is the real deal and their merger with old faithful holsters only allowed them to expand in quality. I highly recommend this holster company!!!

Now they have the 3.0. Time to do another video. ;)

I've *almost* bought Alien Gear holsters on several occasions. Very good review, as always. I particularly liked your demonstration of the clip styles. (going to take some discipline not to blatantly copy you on that!)

Great job as always!

That was a great review!!! Thank you for taking the time to put this together. I've been looking for a good concealed carry set up and this is what I will be trying next. Nice touch with the bloopers.

I wish that alien offered a holster to accommodate having a weapon light set up

"We're going to check to make sure it isn't loaded, and it is..."-- HAHAHAAA!

seen it on Facebook decided to see if anybody did reviews found your video and now I'm sold thank you great review a lot of good information

I ordered a left handed 3.0 for my new CZ Rami and they couldn't get it right because of the safety version and decocker version of the gun. It took them 2 weeks to ship the holster, which usually takes 2-3 days and they gave it to me for free. That hooked me...that my friends is what you call real customer service.. love the holsters and now have 4 of them. Buy with confidence, you won't be disappointed.

I'm a fan of mine so far; especially for the $

The purpose is two fold. 1- To scan for any additional threats. 2- To help break tunnel vision. The second to me is the most important, and if you have ever studied the physiology of a shooting, you'd understand it's importance.

God, I still just dont get the whole scanning 360 thing.. I understand you need to be aware of whats going on around you because you could develop tunnel vision in the event of a high stress situation, however, the whole "Owl" spinning your head around seems ridiculous

If not, scan for another threat...and I highly suggest you do so without pointing your gun at anyone/everyone around you. If there are other ccw people around, or off or on duty LEO's, they probably didn't see what caused you to shoot but they will see that you just shot somebody and are now pointing your gun at them. Now you are their threat.

@@jeffohmart7053 ​A low semi-extended ready could accomplish the same without almost completely breaking your shooting form. Yes, we're not waving things about, but you do not have to snatch your pistol all the way to your body to be passive. As for scanning, you'd want to do so as you move to an advantageous space like cover or a less open area to prepare for further contact, not stand still and wait for it to potentially come to you. Twisting your head about in a dangerous scene without attempt to move away from it makes no sense outside of limited space.

Excellent review! Thank you for such a detailed video on their products and options!

I already had plenty of holsters but my father was looking for CC holsters for a Glock 17 and a Smith 642 and bought an Alien Gear 2.0 for each of them. After assembling the holsters with the belt loops, he put the holster on his belt and holstered his 642. The first time he holstered the revolver, the front of the cylinder ripped the synthetic back of the 2.0 open. He contacted AG and requested permission to return the holsters for a refund. AG stood behind their product, issued a refund and told him not to bother sending the holsters back. Since they were his anyway I made leather backings for the kydex shells. For the money, AG might work for you. If it doesn't, they do have a top notch warranty. I would highly recommend the leather backing to avoid any issues.

I took a CCW class at the beginning of October 2015. The Instructors were Ex-Marines who now worked in the business of protecting Stars and VIPs'. They had "Raven" Kydex Holsters. I looked on-line and found them on the expensive side. However after searching the Internet I found a similar Kydex Holster at "Pale Horse Concealment Solutions". I purchased an Outside the Waistband Kydex Holster for my Ruger LC9s-Pro pistol. I love it. It is nice and thin and hugs my body. Plus I like the way the gun clicks into place.

I hate having to check the screws every time I want to use My Alien Gear Holster. I have the 3.0 and twice the screws have loosened and the Holster has fallen apart... I think they should include a tube of Loctite with every purchase..

Yea man this is my experience as well. I got my Cloak Tuck 2.0 in about 4-5 weeks. I then ended up buying a new M&P9c so I ordered a new shell and I'm going into my 5th week of lead time. In the email it says partial products such as shells have a 1-2 week lead time so I contacted support to see what the issue was. They apologized like mad and are sending me a free series of clips at no cost. (Keep in mind I didn't complain on the phone just called to make sure my order didn't get lost.) They said if it doesn't ship by the end of the week to keep calling back and they'll keep sending free merchandise. They really want your business and I think they deserve it. I will probably buy holsters from them exclusively just due to their customer service and warranty.

Steve Rouse If you ever saw the small facility in Republic you'd know why there have been delays from Crossbreed.

I've had an Alien original for years, but only recently realized I can get a FREE replacement shell, now that I have changed pistol make. You have helped me understand the value of neoprene in daily use, as well. Your analysis, as always, is very thorough and helpful. Your outtakes at the end were really funny -- maybe funnier, as your standard message is always serious, and you revealing that you are not "perfect" teaches the rest of us, it's okay to be imperfect, and even funny. I'm very grateful for your ongoing excellent work.

their customer service sucks , I guess they got too popular too fast. didn't even get try out holster Cuz they couldn't manage to get it to me after I ordered it

OH GOD looking both ways before holstering just makes me angry. It's tactilol just like you see all these "operators" on KZread with their stupid "push" stance where they look like a robot. None of this is necessary to shoot a gun well, it hinders most as they focus so much on this shit and not just shooting the gun well.

It may look silly to you or whatever, but it is a smart move (do it before drawing too). Just off the top of my head, Google the Las Vegas cop killer couple from back in June that went into a Wal-Mart and planned to kill responding officers there as well. Joseph Wilcox, a concealed carrier, did try to engage the male shooter. The female shooter walked up behind him and killed him because he never considered there were multiple shooters working together. All too easy to lock in on one and lose situational awareness. If we could ask him, I think Mr. Wilcox would tell you that shooting a gun well doesn't much matter when you never get off a shot at all. Interestingly, the couple killed themselves right after that, so Wilcox still stopped them. I guess they chickened out when customers started trying to take them out - don't think they planned on that.

I have a Cloak Tuck for my FNX 45 for about 8 months now and am very satisfied with it. One thing worth mentioning is that their shells are not kydex but plastic, that being said, nothing wrong with plastic, and mine has held up well.

Have had my alien gear IWB for many many years, still like new other then the normal gun imprinting, super super comfortable! A MUST BUY!!!!

sootch the promoter for everything ever made.ill call them tell them ill do a review and get a free holster.

Another fanboy toy!!! Okay , here's my opinion. I wear business attire to work everyday to include dress shirts which require tucking in. I just recently bought a new S&W Shield .40 a few months ago. The day it arrived i purchased a DeSantis SOF-TUK holster because it was highly rated, available in store locally and very inexpensive. There a couple of things i didn't exactly like about it at first, but overall, this holster was really nice and i liked it a lot, until; Until the day i decided to buy an Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 3. I watched all the videos and listened to all the rave reviews and man, did it look cool. I could not wait until it came in. it did, and i got the whole package of goodies. I was happy. Then....I put it on. Something wasn't right. The fit, was tighter, bulkier, harder to maneuver and just plain weird. My first thought was , okay wear this thing for the month they provide and let it adjust. This is week number three. Today I am wearing my DeSantis SOF-TUK and what a difference. I will not purchase or wear another Alien gear holster. It was the most uncomfortable holster to date. Why? Okay, I'll list the problems i had: 1.) It was bigger and bulkier than my DeSantis. I had to adjust one extra notch in my belt. My pants were very snug (almost uncomfortable) and was so after 8 hours. 2.) The belt clips would NOT remain in place. They insisted on canting outwards. They wold not stay straight up and down, and looked very awkward on my belt. I can provider pictures but i think you get it. The belt clips would not remain vertical. 3.) I read about the screws coming loose and they were right. I tightened all of them after opening and one week later, all of them were loose. Probably why the belt clips kept moving. (okay, i could have used loctite, but why should i have to?) 4.) The width and height should have made it more comfortable, but it didn't. The top of the holster poked in my upper back, while the wide sides of the holster poked in my lower back on occasion. 5.) now the really fun part. Try tucking your shirt into this baby...Holy crap dudes/dudettes! This took 5 or more minutes in the bathroom in front of a mirror to get right. You have to tuck under one belt clip, then tuck down behind the holster, then tuck behind the next clip, and then finally you have to untuck/blouse evenly from the non-holster side back around the holster side. This took time and often i had to completely undo and redo. (p.s. they make it look so easy in the videos, lol.) 6.) and finally the straw that broke this proverbial camels back; Drawing my weapon! Everyday when i come home, I practice drawing from the holster before putting my firearm away to get used to drawing from this holster. On several occasions after i came home, i grabbed my shirt and yanked upward as if to draw, only to find the tucked in shirt was caught up underneath the holster or under a belt clip and i could not draw. AT ALL. I ripped one dress shirt in the process. DONE! I am sending this holster back. It looks amazing! It comes in neoprene! It has super detailed kydex shell! it has the cool alien logos and comes with stickers and extra goodies. But at the end of the day and as much as i hate to write this, it is the most uncomfortable and unwearable holster i have tried. I really wanted this holster and tried for weeks to make it work. Today i am wearing my DeSantis and I am very happy! Good luck to those who purchase this holster, and i hope it gives you a better experience.

I have several of these holsters and I really like them. I just purchased the cloak tuck package for my Glock 30s and it is great. I pretty much only use these for all my carry needs. I even suggested they make a holster for the Canik TP 9 and they returned my e-mail the same day. This is a great American company and you will not be disappointed.

It has a little wear on the leather, but this is to be expected on a piece of leather that is subjected to sweat and high humidity conditions. It has great retention and is very comfortable. Couldn't be happier with my purchase.

I ordered my 3.0 on 2/3/16 around noon. Because I liked your review of it. I received it today 2/6/16 put it on and loved it. Thanks !!!

Thanks Sootch! I have the Hidden Hybrid Holster that I truly love but I am going to be spending a lot more time in the southeast thus I was happy to know that Alien Gear makes a neoprene backing in one of their holsters for those very hot days. If HHH does not make a neoprene backing holster then I will give this Alien Gear a try. Thanks for sharing and good luck on the 23rd!! 🇺🇸🔫👍

Thanks for another good video. I've been doubtful of this brand so it's good to see a thorough review.

Waited about 8weeks for holsters, and it was worth the wait, they notified me via email when they were shipping it out and they followed up the day it was shipped out. Fits very very comfortable can't complain about it worth the money!!!

I got an original "Cloak Tuck"last spring (2014) for my full size Para 1911. I've tried a bunch of different IWB holsters. The Alien quickly became my favorite. It has been my primary IWB and has seen near daily wear since last March. I have an Uncle Mike's that is a smidge more comfortable but it gives up stability and securing the firearm in place.

These guys even had the holster for my Ruger P94. Almost no one has that outside of specialty makers or something custom or "universal" holsters (blegh). I haven't tried it yet but that stood out to me.

After years of searching for that perfect holster "for me" I finally found them. They are the Alien Gear IWB 3.0 and, the Alien Gear Cloak Belt OWB. These holsters have AG's new super soft and even more breathable neoprene backings AND, all the studs on the back are completely covered for out of this world all day comfort right up against your skin. No t-shirt required is you don't want. - The new Cloak Belt Holster's neoprene backing wider so it spreads out the weight of your pistol even better. I have both of these holsters because they're so relatively inexpensive and I don't like swapping the same kydex shell back and forth between IWB and OWB for my Glock G30S. I carry nearly 24/7/365 in hot and muggy NE Oklahoma where summer time humidity and sweat are measured by the bucket. These AG holsters make carrying while doing all sorts of manual labor and relaxing on my small farm/ranch a breeze.

I just ordered the cloak tuck 3.0 with the stainless insert, looking forward to trying it out. This is a great channel, thanks.

Love ur Videos Sootch. Everytim i look up gun stuff i try n see if i can find one of urs. Keep it up.

I'm convinced that the winged IWB is the best concealed carry option for anyone wearing jeans and a belt. The comfort level i have is amazing and second to none especially considering the concealability you get with it.

Great review as always. I own the original cloak tuck and carried a Sig P250 subcompact .45 for some time in it. I later bought a M & P Shield 9mm. I called Aliengear customer service and I swapped out the shell I had for the sig for one for my Shield. Free. No charge. The customer service rep was very polite and helpful, which kinda surprised me. The quality of these holsters is pretty darn good. I can't see paying at least twice the price for another brand when these are as good as advertised. I carry every day, all day and they are comfortable. I just bought a 1911 rail gun and need to order one for it. This time I think I will go for the tuck 2 since it is supposed to be even more comfortable.

This review just sold me on the alien holster. I was looking at them and was wondering since it was so inexpensive. Thank you.

Thanks for this video! I was a customer of Old Faithful Holsters that has since merged with Alien Gear and now own a couple Alien Gear brand holsters as well. I do not get to carry everyday due to a restricted carry permit (NY...go figure) but my assessment of the products is the same. I even felt the same way about the Cloak 2.0 until I tried it and as you discovered the comfort is top notch. In the past month I even had Alien Gear recommended to me during a chance encounter with a local LEO that had nothing but praises for the system. I really appreciate you reviewing the OWB holster. I have not yet had the opportunity to try one but have been interested in them and by your review I see they are still pretty concealable for being OWB. Thank you for the straight forward, no nonsense presentation of the information. Great job!

Sootcho00, After watching reviews on KZread for the last couple days it was so refreshing to see that you took the time to produce a quality video. I just want to hit on a few points specifically that I enjoyed. -You didn't repeat yourself -You tried the product before offering your review, so many will review right out of the package... -You showed me the product in use including some fit and re-holstering Thank you for your quality review.

I'm buying the ppq Monday and was hoping to find a way to conceal carry it. Ive only seen you conceal sub compacts. I'm so happy I found this video!!! Thanks sootch

I have a Bersa Thunder 380. I've had a hard time finding a good holster for it. After seeing your review I went to the Alien Gear website and checked it out. I chose the Cloak Tuck 2.0 IWB holster. It is the most comfortable holster I've ever had. Thanks for the review. It was spot on.

My brother just purchased the 3.0 combo. We will see if he likes it. I have the 2.0 IWB and I love mine.

Great review. Just received my cloak tuck 2.0 and wore it all day yesterday...couldn't believe how comfortable it was. Highly recommended!

I love the belly band and the cloak tuck holster. I wore mine for the first time today. Very comfy!

Thank you for the great review Sootch00. I own three Alien Gear holsters and they are terrific.

I'm a little picky about who I Subscribe to, but the last shot of you having to put on the glasses made me laugh out loud and it won me over, thanks for the video. I use Alien gear as my primary now, great holster, comfortable and concealable.

This is not just one of the best Alien reviews I've seen, it's one of the best "holster" reviews I've seen. This video is even better than holster maker's marketing videos. You show practical drawing demos wearing a T-shirt. That's what we want to see (not some posed model in a pressed shirt purposely to conceal any impression) 3 guns +3 different holsters, materials description, 360 close ups, weight. EXCELLENT REVIEW! Not sure if I'll buy but the only concern you didn't inform is if I should get their gun belt. EXCELLENT job

+maximusmarine and yes I know they now have the 3.0 but this review still stands up

Thanks so much for the review I've been looking at them and getting ready to order mine

thanks again sootch just ordered my first 3.o holster. keep making the vids

I finally bit the bullet & bought the 3.0.I've had it about 3 weeks & use it every day, carrying either a full size or compact 1911What an amazingly comfortable holster. I can carry all day long, even longer when I'm at home also. I can sit, stand, move around without being uncomfortable.I also got the OWB cloak with the deal. Haven't used it as much but with cooler weather upon us, I'm sure to use it more often than the IWB.Thanks for the great review Sootch.

Hype? Or quality? That's exactly what I thought when I first saw their ads. A buddy of mine ordered one if their holsters and I was very surprised. It is definitely a good, quality piece of gear that will hold up well for many years. I've got to get around to ordering mine. Great review Sootch. Keep up the good work AND the proper training. Always watch your 6!

Awesome. I have a P-64 makarov that is pretty much my small summer carry when I'm not carrying my Glock that needs a holster. Have an XD sub compact too that needs a holster. I will check them out.

excellent review, thanks sootch!

Great holster review,you answered all the questions I had reguarding these holsters. I had been on the fence until this review,I will order mine tomorrow for a taurus pt 111

Good stuff! Looking forward to that ALS Ice water vid!

I have some of these holsters and I love them. Very comfortable and good quality. I carry every day. Good prices and service, I highly recommend them.

I already ordered one and I am just waiting for it to show up in the mail. So excited.

Great review.. Getting ready to purchase the Cloak Tuck 3.0 here soon! Looks like a winner!

There are many different ppl making same type, if you like that big bulky holster find the cheapest one that style and buy it bc later on you will toss it in the drawer and get a smaller one

I bet you he doesn't use that type of holster, just got paid to do the review

I bought two of the IWB cloak tuck style. I wore one almost every day for about 6 months and it started to rust on all the back sides of their little rivnuts against my skin. Not long after, the plastic liner that is in between the neoprene and the vinyl outer side cracked and it became very floppy and weak. I was also disappointed with how the neoprene was holding so much moisture! Most of the day, it was glued to my hip and all damp! I called them directly and explained my situation, they mailed me out a rush package with new LEATHER bases for both of my holsters for FREE! That's worth something right there! So now I am three days into trying our the plain old simple leather style. I'm hoping for the best. The stupid little rivnuts are still made of steel ( should be stainless ) and they are a bit sharp on the edges- or should I say "were", I filed them down a little bit to take the edges off so it won't scrape my soft white ass like the last one did. One of those situations where I wish I could walk through their factory for a day and point out all the stupid oversights for them. I would highly caution against buying the plastic/neoprene style as much as they try to sell it, it just doesn't work. Not enough stiffness to hold your piece up and it will crack all apart eventually. Their guaranty is their only saving quality for me right now..... Go leather.

Love this holster!!! I have a Cloak Tuck 1.0 for my Ruger P97. The P97 is one of the few guns that is not included in their selection of available holsters. I ordered the P90 holster and it was almost an exact fit. I modified the small variations with my paint stripping heat gun. To increase the retention, I heated the area that covers the trigger guard and pushed the kydex into the opening of the trigger guard just enough to create a little bump inside the holster. I also ordered extra shells for two other pistols and change them out as necessary.

I bought a 3.0 Tuck for my PPS. Very comfortable for all day wear and no sweat problems from the neoprene. Secondly, you can order different holster shells to fit the harness; I can get a shell for my Sig Sauer, Kahr, etc. and change the shell as I change the weapon.

I have 7 handguns and have tried many holsters and Alien Holsters are great in every way. Because of the price I have one for each gun. You can conceal very large guns with these great holsters.

A+++ Absolutely the best holsters I've ever used. I have both IWB they offer, the cloak tuck and the newer version, and I have the OWB. All work very well and are extremely comfortable. I forget I have my full size Ruger SR9. I bought the hat they sell on the website for $8 to help promote them. I recommend them to anyone needing a holster.

I purchased a IWB holster (Cloak Tuck) for my Glock 19 approximately 3 months ago. I have been wearing it almost everyday of my work week. It is very comfortable and very easy to draw from. Because of the very hot summer I have always worn an t-shirt underneath because of sweat. I would recommend this holster because of quality and price. I also have a Crossbreed Holster (IWB) for my 19 but have favored the Alien because of comfort.

This truly is a system; one that can be adapted for all shooters and ALL of their handguns. Nifty.
