Alien Gear’s Cloak Tuck 3.5: A Holster that Fits Comfortably

April 17, 2019 by Heath Layman Leave a Comment

“My Sights Are Off” and other Pistol Accuracy Myths

Alien Gear Holsters Cloak Tuck 3.5 IWB (Inside the Waistband) Holster is a holster that fits over 500 different pistols, comfortably.

I’m a little more “girthy” than I wish I was.  Inside the waist band or IWB holsters aren’t something I’m very drawn to – until I tried the Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 3.5 IWB holster a try.

What’s Missing

The first thing to take note of when looking at this holster is the absence of any screws, rivets, or protrusions on the side that rests against your body. The entire back-side of the holster is covered in a cool vent neoprene which allows air to flow and moisture to wick away.  You won’t find anything against you or your britches to snag or jab.

The clips are sturdy and when worn with a quality belt, this holster isn’t going to pop out or wander away.

Many different holsters offer the user the ability to adjust where the retention clips are for adjusting the depth or cant of the holster.  Alien Gear has come up with a slick way to make it more realistic that the user will actually adjust the clips and dial it in to their body.  Simply rotate the clips down and pull them out.  Insert the clip into the hole that you think is going to make the desired adjustment and rotate it back up.  It’s really that simple and that quick.

Alien Gear Cloak Tuck, It’s Cool

The Cloak Tuck holster is comfortable and sturdy.  Behind the cool vent neoprene is a steel core.  The design allows for rigidity where you need it and flex where you want it.

With the holster, I received additional retention spacers, allowing me to adjust the tightness for the amount of desired retention I was looking for.  The one it came with seemed to be spot on for my Glock 19 when being worn.  While not being worn against the body, the gun will come out too easily but I’m not sure why that would be a bad thing.

American Made, No Hassle Warranty

As with all Alien Gear products, this holster is American made with a no hassle warranty/guarantee.

Remember to get a great belt to wear with this Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 3.5 holster and if you’re a bigger fella or gal, get your pants one size bigger for some wiggle room, and wear your gun!

Try this holster for 30 days and if you don’t like it, Alien Gear will take it back…. no questions asked.

MSRP: $49.88 as tested.
