Alien Gear ShapeShift Appendix Holster for Concealed Carry - Custom Fit, Right/Left Hand - Adjustable Retention, Made in The USA, Secure & Comfortable IWB Concealment Option, Choose Your Pistol Size

II carry concealed almost everywhere (LEO). I've had many bolsters, but was never completely happy with any of them. My pistol (Sig P229) sits lower on my hip with this holster than the other ones I've had. It took a few weeks to get used to drawing (practice draws). When I bought this holster, I was mainly looking for one that would pad the hammer from digging into my side as it did with some other holsters. It did did this and more. For the first time in 18 years, I actually forget I'm carrying. This holster is extremely comfortable and is adjustable to the tension I like. So far I'm very happy with this purchase and will most likely stick to this brand of I purchase another holster.

I like the build and structure of this holster. The fit to the gun is perfect. Angle of the gun adjustment was decent. Clips inside high in the belt line and that makes for some discomfort when sitting. Also gets some imprint on untucked shirts. Love the holster just wish it would sit a bit lower in belt line. All that being said it is still one of the better appendix holsters out there in my opinion.

I can wear this holster appendix carry all day and be comfortable. I can bend over while wearing it no problem. I've worn it all day doing outdoor work no problem. I can sit down wearing it no problem. It works. Walther PPS M2, Glock 19.

This actually arrived earlier than the promised by date. I really like the holster. It's easy to use and easy to adjust. The only thing that I am curious about are the extra pieces that I received. The info says to hang on to them, But I would like to know what they can be used for. The product is sweet!

Excellent holder and the modular functionality of the shapeshift platform is perfect. This is my first concealed holster, so I do not have much to compare to, but it did buy it for what it is and for the options and conversations -modularity. The pad is comfortable on the surface, but can push into waist or leg when working and doing a lot of movement depending on position. I feel that mo matter what position, there will be some dig or push of any holster. It just goes with it. The only thing I took away a star for is that they presently only offer a clip on the front. Maybe soon, they will put out an O clip option of a snap loop option to change it out. The clip is great for now, solid and easy to slip over pants/belt, but I do understand as they say that it will wear over time. When it comes available, it will be one of the first changes. I will be getting some of the other expansion packs for other carry options and review them as well. I am only testing presently and found that for my full size M&P 11:00 position offers the most comfort and least print with length of the grip and bulge from the clip and thickness of the complete unit. 1:00 position is a bit more comfortable but prints more. It isn't very noticeable, but it does print. I may consider a mag pouch as well and the other IWB pancake expansion pack to try to spread the bulge and make it print even less. It is a great holster for what it is though. Highly recommended.

I recieved a extra "side" ? for my Left Hand holster. I see nothing about how or why. It SEEMS to be for right hand? I ordered LEFT HAND. It came LEFT HAND but includes right hand part?Looking at the instructions I don't see how or why I received this large part.The right hand part had a nice spring release button. I wanted that on my left hand. Instructions were cryptic and made no sense. I tossed them aside and I started playing with it. I took it all appart and after a lot of guesswork. I swapped the spring release over to the left hand mold that was installed. I put it all back together and now it seems like it will be very nice. (If I did it right).My springfield 3" fits nice. CLIPS in now that I put on the spring clip. (else the gun can fall/slip out of the holster. Once I started playing around with the disassembly and reassembly it seemed logical and pretty easy. I wish the instructions would explain what this huge right/side part is? Maybe it comes with both and the one we choose is the one installed by default? The is another part that is installed on the right hand side plate. It looks like a GEAR that protrudes out (maybe it's for other accessories to add on?)This is my point - TO MANY MAYBES... why do the instructions not explain what all parts are and what they are for? I don't need instructions to tell me to use the hex wrench to losen the hex screws. Or how the clip connects to my belt. (Really?) It's like instructions that show how to plug an AC plug into a wall power outlet. - Not actually worn it yet. I may report back later.

I recently purchased an alien gear holster. Somehow I ended up with a left hand draw so requested an exchange from Amazon with a change to right hand draw mentioned in comment area. Apparently Alien Gear did not get the part of the request for switching to right hand draw so I ended up with a left hand draw again but it was a fast exchange. At that point I decided to bypass Amazon and wrote diretly to Alien Gear explaning what happened and requesting a change to a right hand draw again. I offered to pay for shpping since I did not feel it was Alien Gears fault. Within a few days I had the correct holster and no charge for shipping. I am more than a little impressed to say the least. Holsters for me from now on will come from Alien Gear.

Very comfortable holster. Great fit. Rugged and cool looking. I've tried many and this is by far the best overall.
