    I've had mine since September 2018. I really waited for it simply for the AIWB holster. Unfortunately the AIWB is way to bulky and prints big-time. Tried it for a couple weeks and gave up on it.
    I use the ShapeShift IWB holster on a daily basis.
    I must add that I have all the Alien Gear Holsters from the Cloak Tuck 1.0 leather backing IWB, to the Cloak Tuck 3.0 IWB, the Cloak Tuck 3.5 IWB, the Cloak MOD OWB, the Cloak Slide OWB, the drop leg holster, the Cloak MOD Car Adapter, the Cloak Dock IWB Holster Mounts, the Cloak Dock OWB Holster Mount, the Double Mag Carrier, and the AGH gun belt.
    Started with the Cloak Tuck 1.0 IWB holster and never looked back.
    My EDC is the ShapeShift IWB holster and the Single Mag carrier all supported by the AGH black gun belt.
    Excellent products!!

      I'm in the same boat as you... Loved the idea of variety for experimentation. However, when I set the retention so that my firearm does not fall out (flipped it upside down and shook it), it was difficult to draw smoothly and efficiently. If I set the retention so that I had a good draw, the firearm fell out when I shook it upside down. Just couldn't win... So, with great disappointment, I am returning it. A shame, because I was really excited with the concept.😞

    I continually hear how Alien Gear has the best holsters around. I purchased the Shapeshift Core Carry Pack for my Springfield Hellcat. Though the idea of being able to convert into different carry types is awesome, the AIWB, IWB and especially the OWB Belt slide seem to have a design flaw. When wearing them, your belt pushes against the padding which then pushes against your gun making is harder to insert and remove. The tighter you make your belt, the worse it gets. It makes the OWB Belt-slide holster unusable for me and the Hellcat (Even with the retention adjusted all the way out). The clips are too close to the padding, so when you thread the belt through the loops, it has to curve away from your body (the opposite direction the belt would curve when on your body. This puts tremendous pressure on the gun as soon as you put the belt on (even before you tighten the belt) I tried different belts and different carrying positions from 2 o'clock to 5 o'clock all with the same results. I thought I might be doing something wrong so I contacted support. The rep confirmed I was doing it correctly, and though they were professional and courteous, they told me there was nothing they could do. I'm just over 2 months of owning this setup so I'm past the return/refund date. Life got really crazy for me so I just now had the time to really test this thing out. The AIWB and IWB are still usable, but you can definitely feel the added friction. Hopefully your other models work better, but this is my first experience with Aliengear (I'm fairly new to the world of firearms). It's not a very good one

    It seemed like a good idea to be able to build and rebuilt holsters, but unfortunately, it doesn't do any of them really well. It now sits in the box of unused holsters we all have. You can only wear one holster at a time, so you're better off buying a holster designed for each mode of carry.

Unless you are some objective holster expert, it seems just as likely that while this didn't work for you in any mode, it may just be perfect for other folks in other modes, such as the countless commenters here who seem happy. I would argue that if I can buy a holster for $100 bucks that fits my needs for several holsters that this would be the smarter buy. Wanting to save money is not the same as not being able to afford $280 for different holsters. Honestly trying to make fun of someone for not having enough money seems like some junior high level stuff.

    Was this thing designed by committee? I thought it would be simple things would snap together like safariland who don't make a holster for the sig yet? But no! You have to take things apart with little plastic nuts and move things around and slide things together and push them as hard as you can to make them fit cuz they're so tight. This is ridiculous! It's going back immediately. I just opened up my alien gear core carry pack which actually has 4 different holsters for my sig Sauer p365 XL with Romeo red dot. That's a mouthful. Basically with my glock 26 I ended up buying a half dozen or more holsters and returning them all because they're all crap and cost anywhere from 30 to 75 bucks. You can get a 15 or $20 cheapo Chinese holster from Amazon and it functions exactly the same. So I ended up with a couple of urban carry lock leather holsters inside and outside waistband and the inside waistband are comfortable for both pistols but the outside waistbands for some reason has a huge design flaw and the leather goes flat and you can't get the pistol back into the holster! I returned both owbs and kept the iwb's. So I'm shopping around for holsters for this new sig and most people are making all the same crap and they're way expensive. I wanted an outside paddle holster style and realized I can get four of these things for the price of one with this alien gear. Yeah they're a bit convoluted and you have to snap things together and figure out how the pieces fit because they've obviously shaved the pieces to make it look so easy on their videos. However once you get them together they seem pretty good but a huge problem is you actually have to take the holster itself and break it in half and you lose the function of the secondary thumb break because that part only fits on the paddle holsters! They've got this huge belt loop IWB contraption that is impossibly hard to take in and out. The paddle holsters are much easier but then you have to take apart the appendix carry holster and put the two halves of the shell back together again to use the paddle holsters. I finally got the appendix carry together and it looks like an alien spaceship for sure the retention nut thing is most definitely difficult to use but I got it to move without finding a different tool and tightened it down to the point where the gun won't even come out of the holster so I backed it off a few couple clicks. I figure I could put this on my side instead of the lock leather and when I look at them they're about the same depth the thing is do I want this gigantic mechanism inside my pants because the lock leather iwb pulls my pants away to the point where they won't stay on no matter how tight I make it. As for the owb holsters good God they stick a good 2 in out from your body great if you're a cop not so much if you trying to conceal it a bit. In the end simply impossible. They always show these thin buff guys putting these things on and it sits right against them and their pants don't sag. Maybe it comes down to the belt? Anyway I wanted to be able to change these things out quickly and I doubt if I'm going to use all four of these crazy things but I'm tired of shopping for junk I just wish lock leather Urban carry made a proper owb I even suggested I said put a kydex frame inside of the leather for crying out loud! I'm sure somebody at alien gear thinks this is really neato but you got to be kidding?

    I just got mine today! I fuckin' hate it. I mean, WOW! This is an awful product. Uncomfortable, cheap feeling, and overall just a bad design. I'll stick with my $30 universal holster that I barely notice.
