Holster Selection: Things to Consider

Holster Selection: Things to Consider

During my 1,900 hours as a defensive shooting instructor one of the dominating questions I was asked was about holster selection.  In my experience this is the hardest one to answer.  I have good news and bad new for you:  The perfect holster match for your body shape, selected firearm, carry position, and attire exists.  […]

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

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 […]

Alien Gear IWB handgun holster

Alien Gear IWB handgun holster

Alien Gear pistol holsters have benefitted from some excellent marketing on the internet as of late. Thanks to Facebook’s targeted marketing algorithm, Alien Gear ads have inundated my news feed for months, touting the holster as the “world’s most comfortable” inside-the-belt holster. The price points for these holsters run between $29.88 and $43.88, which seemed […]

The ShapeShift Shoulder Holster

The ShapeShift Shoulder Holster

I have a real affinity for shoulder holsters, and I don’t know where it comes from. I like to say its from living in Florida and being a Miami Vice fan. However, being in Florida doesn’t give me a lot of opportunities to wear a shoulder rig, and good shoulder rigs are expensive. Is the […]

Alien Gear Shape Shifter Holster

Alien Gear ShapeShift Holster

Upon opening the box of the Alien Gear ShapeShift Holster kit, I was bewildered with a vast array of do-dads, nick-nacks and parts. It took me around ten minutes or so to sort through it. I was not displeased with the end results. The holster comes standard, with a variety of flavors which are inside […]

Alien Gear Cloak Tuck IWB Holster: Out Of This World

When you intend to conceal a pistol, you need a holster that can accomplish a few things. It needs to securely and safely hold your pistol, hide it well with minimal printing, be durable enough for extended and rough usage, be comfortable to wear all day, stay put so your draw is consistent, and it […]

The Alien Gear Ankle Holster – The New ShapeShift

I’m wearing and typing something I never thought I’d do. I’m wearing an ankle holster, and I’m typing that I don’t hate it. The ankle holster in question is the Alien Gear Shapeshift Ankle Carry Expansion pack. This is the first Alien Gear ankle holster ever, and its unconventional but well thought out design makes […]

One Marine’s EDC gear – and why I’ll always carry two knives

One Marine’s EDC gear | Why I’ll always carry two knives

When it comes to choosing the stuff you keep strapped to you on a daily basis, there are a number of things you need to take into account: the environments you’re normally in, the laws in your particular state and county, weight, mobility, and perhaps most important of all – comfort.  It may sound awfully soft of […]

Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 3.0 | Review

Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 3.0 | Review

I never gave concealed carry much thought. That was until the summer of 2007 when I found myself assigned to an executive protection team. At this time, I believe, I was like most individuals and I bought the coolest looking holster online. After trying several styles and brands over the years I decided to give […]
