Thank you for your feedback, we are currently working on the locking back-strap.
Do you have an approximate date as to when that feature he suggested for the locking back-strap, would be fully addressed and completed? I would like to purchase the holster with that particular locking feature for the strap, and I hope that locking feature would be the same for the red dot sight hood.
Jason Blundell I agree, I was just about to buy one but I think I will wait for this addition.
It’s good to see Alien gear watching, listening to, and interacting with their customers and reviewers. Great job, guys - keep being awesome.
Any update on the looking back-strap?
@@Thetromboneman09 Updates and improvements are coming soon!
Great video! Thank you! We do offer a Quick Release System that will soon work with Molle, Drop Leg, Paddle, high/Standard/Low Ride Height!
Is it possible to remove the thumb swipe option from the level 3 holster?
For $35 extra dollars, which places it over the cost of the comparable holster from Safariland.
Very good review and knowledge. Alien Gear is listening as shown in comments. ☺
What brand do you use that the hood locks open on? I have als and t series and neither lock open.
Second I’d like to know as well
He won’t answer. Because safariland doesn’t…
Can you run without a light?
Great review. I too asked Alien Gear about the lack of a locking hood & the inability to run a Kagwerks Slide Stop. For reference the Safariland holster don’t lock forward either (as I’m sure you know), so it’s not a huge deal breaker, but I’d agree it would be a nice feature to have. Think it’s more of an engineering issue as they would need another release mechanism in order to release the hood from the forward position.
Ended up moving away from the Kagwerks slide stop after running into more unintended lock backs like you had with your stock slide stop. Back to stock for now. Guess I’ll take lack of slide lock at empty vs it locking back when it shouldn’t
Excellent review, brother. You covered everything I needed. Stay safe out there and keep holding the line.
My perspective of why a duty g19/g45 holster is a half inch less of material for it to bump against or catch on.
Great video 👍 you made a excellent point for it to locke open if they fixed that this holster would be absolutely perfect . I only curious do they make a size for the G17L
Why the "45" model? That's 1/2" less it will ride up on you in the car. Or, looking at it the other way, 1/2" you can lower it on your belt.
TXn for that video, it helps a lot. Eddie from Sweden. I will buy one.
The sls hood dosen't lock on safariland either
But it is super easy to actuate with a gun in hand if it pops up.
No Surefire X300 to test, this video is an absolute fail (but you have Olight) 🤣🤣🤣
I wonder if it will work if you have a RMR on your gun?
What kind of accessories do I need to change the cant to zero on a Safariland holster. I know this video is about the Alien Gear, sorry. Hoping you would know.
Do you have a holster recommendation for OWB, plain clothes, open carry that is lower profile than a “duty” holster, yet has ALS?
Great video, love the molon labe tat!
Not locking hood? Yuck! I'd have to be caught in a situation where I had to holster, CAN'T HOLSTER, especially as a cop? I think that's a deal-breaker. Even security needs to be able to re-holster to a lvl2 retention and if the hoods up and locks back, you take your eyes off someone or turn with your body fiddling with your off-hand? Not good imo. Just a bad thing to occur, even if it happens ONCE in a fight or situation ONCE is one time too many that someone could grab that gun or take advantage of the situation.
Sorry alien gear, fix that. Holster looks great tho, Looking for a new holster. I hope they've fixed it by now.
Very good review. Thank you. Just remember our flag is red white and blue.
There is a "QLS" system that works for rapid force and that's the black hawk's "QLS" system i don't know the name though nor do I know if it's good or not i just saw a video that used that "QLS".
I'm sorry but if your gripping the g19 correctly you will not cause the slide to lock out of battery... I guy that are almost 7' tall and I can guarantee have bigger hands than you, and have ZERO issues with shooting a glock 19.....
Did you rep ever get back to you in the easy disconnect? I was curious. This is the first time watching one of your videos. So if you have made another video. I haven’t seen has of posting this video. Thank you Jason
I can't wait for another one for CZ P10F with RDS and full size/Compact light!!
Website only shows for Glock 17 and 19 any recommendations for a Glock 45?
Can't you use the safariland's QLS on it co I see there is a 3 hole holster on the back? you might be able to use the safariland's UBL also Sir.
If you had your weapon drawn because you were in a struggle it's kinda going backwards reholstering?
Awesome review! I’m just starting and did one too.
When you buy the holster one of the options are
Quick disconnect: +35.00
Would it fit the olight baldr s / baldr pro R or streamlight TLR 2 , tlr 8 , TLR vir gun light . Stream light laser sight is under the light
Lost me at the Punisher tattoo...
I think this is extremely innovative and kudos to Alien Gear for constantly coming up with new holster designs. I've owned an Alien Gear Holster for something like 5 years now and I love it! I've bought several as gifts for family members, and always recommend them. They are Flawless! Admittedly, I'm a pessimist so my mind thinks like this: If the locking back-strap fails or catches on something preventing if from opening, you lose! Again that's just me.
Does some safariland duty hoslters hoods lock in the open position? Because mine does not.
So why are you afraid to mention safariland ??? SMH Thumbs down
THAT is a very good point to bring up, that hood not being locked open, wow, that's big, easy to overlook but I think that's huge.
would you be able to stick a QLS fork on it? The screw pattern looks really similar, it would open new possibilities for the system.
Do they make these holsters for the XDm 10mm 4.5 ?
As of now, they only make these for Sig and Glock
Will this fit a Polymer80 g19 Frame with a TLR1 ?
The fact this holster is not light specific is awesome. I've spent to much time finding holsters I like to find out they don't have a model for my pistol light combo.
What you said about the hood locking open made total sense after you explained the scenario. They should definitely change that.
Working on it!
Alien Gear Holsters - when you come up with the solution to this problem myself and guys I work with will jump on it. Also, will you be making this to fit a Glock 34?
I can imagine that you would deal a sizeable dent into the “competition” if you do..
Good review, thanks for posting.
it looks like it does,but can you run a optic with this holster?
This holster safarilands better than safariland.
The lvl 3 can became a lvl 2 if you remove the hood ?
Looks like it really does a number on the slide.
Looks very interesting ! Now that the ala carte source for Safariland holsters is gone, you can not order from them the way you want. We run XDM's and Safariland is a pain to get what we need. Hopefully Alien Gear will become a good and lower cost flexible source. Especially now that many people are running red dots with the need for at least level 2 retention. How about QLS comparability for forks? Mid drop with single thigh strap ? Don't want a full drop leg backer, just a small upper thigh backing plate with one spot for thigh strap, just thin small contoured backer for a single thigh!😁 larger for those who want it, but my arms are not 4 ft long for knee rest drop leg😁One stop shopping flexibility of options!!!! Oh fabric outer wrap for sound reduction. Offer it as a user applied pre cut template!
Shhhh! We're not mentioning the "other brand."
I reached out to Alien Gear weeks ago when I did not receive the "included" quick release attachment system. They responded by saying they are still being made. I have however already modified a Safariland QLS attachment clip to work with this holster. Unfortunatly, you also have to do a slight modification to all the QLS receivers you want to be able to attach it too.
UUade UUilson they said the same thing to me
Can we get pics of how you modified it so we can do the same?
Dude I'd like to see how you did that
Does anyone know if Safariland QLS system would work on this holster?
Shhhh! We're not mentioning the "other brand."
Can this holster fits any red dot sights?
The quick attachment is in the work! Theyre alittle behind right now in production. About a third of production is being used for making mask for local hospitals, and have some new shells being worked on for some of our new favorite toys. Keep checking in every once in a while.
Thank you for the review! Going to get one for my P320.
Are you forced to use a Glock for work??
You can use your gun to hit the release
Is the hood removable? Also, do you think the Valkyrie PL2 would work in that holster?
You can buy it configured with or without the hood. I don't see why you could not remove it. It absolutely works with the PL-Pro and PL-2 Valkries from OLIGHT.
Is that the low or mid height ride?
How much did they pay you ?
Thank You 🙏🏽 💙🇺🇸
Can the hood be removed?
Rapid force + Safarilands QLS fork paired with the adjustable height belt slide from safariland = PERFECTION. Thank you @aliengearholsters for making the tactical adapter to make this happen.
Thank you Neil for an awesome review of a product I'll probably never own, but that could change. Things are getting crazy here. I went into my local gun shop and the placed was paced with people buying guns and looking for ammo. No social distancing going on there as I stood shoulder to shoulder trying to buy ammo, which basically all the ammo I wanted was gone. Please talk about how much ammo you should have for each of your weapons including long guns if a SHTF scenario unfolds.
I hope AlienGear has gotten my call!!! Canik TP9 Elite Combat lvl2 shoulder holster. HURRY before my wife changes her mind!!! LMAO!!! To my Veterans who make it happen over there...AIR ASSAULT!!!
Will my ruger Security-9 compact with a "compact" green laser and light combo mounted , don't know the brand all I know is that it's a compact size device, will my firearm fit this holster???
Have been on the fence about buying one since they came out. Most of the guys at the office use Safariland ALS level 3 holsters, but I have never been a big fan of them. Great job on the review sir. Stay safe!
I'm generally a fan of Aliengear (I think I own 15), but damn, this thing is bulky. My Safariland is half the size.
Great they even make left handed holsters. But they only make holsters for glocks. Not so great, if you don't own a glock. Especially if my future employer insists that I supply my own.
*¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿""DO YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT KNOWN TO WORLD THAT YOUARE A PATROLMAN/LAW ENFORCEMENT-OFFICER, ""HOWMANY POLICE SUSPECTS HAVEYOU SHOT IN THEBACK JUST TO KILL A POSSIBLE-CRIMINAL""???????????????????????????????????????*
How well will this work with an Olight Pl-Pro Valkyrie as compared to the Streamlight TLR-1? Is the retention the same, or is there some rattle?
i have one of this holster only level 2 from alien gear and its my daily use as a police officer from philippines👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿
So what, if any, are the benefits of this one, compared to the safariland? Would there even be a reason to switch?
I still gotta stick w/ the Safariland 6360ALS/SLS. It doesn't seem like a bad holster. I like how it's more of a universal light option though.
Thanks for watching and commenting
If it supports your gun great ! Problem with SL is that don't support many guns especially with red dots and lights😟
Shhhh! We're not mentioning the "other brand."
The work around if the level lll hood is a big issue is just buy the level ll, no hood. I like the light style. I see the sworn LE 👮🏻♂️ points. I'm looking at a night 🌃 evening duty rig for my Glocks: 17-22 gen 4s. I already own a Olight weapon light. I may just stick with the 👽 Rapid Force level ll, no hood matte black with Olight 🔦.
Safariland's are also like that. The hood could go back it doesn't lock. I am also an officer. I have gone through almost anything you could think of while working, I have not had my hood come back though...not saying it can't happen it could. I wonder what holster you are currently using on duty where this isn't an issue? Thanks
It also seems that when you draw your pistol you’re already disengaging both locks at the same time. Once you push down button you’ve already again disengaged the secondary locking mechanism therefore making it one step to remove the pistol.
Lol can't say Safariland huh? That looks a little bulky compared to the Safariland
I would think that the Glock 19 holster would be the same as that which would be for the glock 45 for duty use and would essentially be the same slide length...
Backstrap not locking forward is no different than ALS. Not a deal breaker. I do wish that the belt loops were designed without needing screws. A little difficult to set up but once it’s in place, it stays locked in place. Dragged the holster through sand, mud, rain and still functioned as it should. Quick detach works well and built solid.
Thanks
I like that mine went hoodless, and I also hate friction locks, and even lost a few tension screws from having it too loose lol. It is unnecessary IMO. I am using that unnamed major competitor, cuz if it was good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for me. That being said, I do like that there are companies out there innovating.
It takes the la police gear light as well ... I love it I was a safirland slut for a long time I I’m a federal Secuirty officer and professional wisen‘s bodyguard I use this on both jobs I put a leg strap on a battle belt and was good to go I still love the 7000 series holster from safirland but this is a competitor for sure . ... I had no problem putting it on my safirland 94 b
duty belt as well
Awesome video buddy. Hope you guys are doing well.
Thanks, Julio! We are doing great, just adjusting to newborn life. I hope you are staying safe and healthy
@@geaugafirearmsacademy newborns are awesome and congratulations. I'm doing well. Just staying busy at work lol.
I’m thinking what if you change the ride height? Would the hood still interfere?
Ok where is one for a XDM OSP........used by a lot of overseas agencies
Hey I have a g 17 Gen 5 . do you know a light that fits flush with the length of the barrel and frame that works with this or another alien holster
That’s pretty good. Not le but would be nice for training some c-q-b room clearing and running some drills.
is the marring on the slide from the holster? Do you know if the Olight balor pro light/laser will work?
I thought you were fond of the XD over the Glock. What happened?
Will the QLS fit on the Rapid Duty Holster?
Does anyone know if this works with a Gen 5 Glock 22? Thanks!
Would this fit an Olight Baldr Pro Black?
Can you check if it works with the OZ9 or OZ9C?
try an iprotec rm230lsg tac light?
Do you have a special grip on your handgun?
Are those holsters only for law enforcement
How much is my gun holster? Can I put the Glock 17 and 19?
Inquire from Thailand
Red name
it can fit a glock 17. hadn't tried with the 19
How do you feel Aliengear compares to Blackarch holsters? I own an M&P9 2.0 Compact, and am reconsidering buying a Shapeshift holster now that it's available.
I have experience with Blackarch never heard of that company, something I look into Thanks for watching.
So what holsters out there have a lock out hood.
Nothing will beat Safariland
LMAO, "Craigs-work" jajaja
Great review. Support from a 🇬🇧 Firearms Police Officer
How many of your countrymen have you beat up for not wearing a mask?
Will this fit a Sar9x with a light?
Will this fit a P80 G34 with light?
Too bad it’s only for glocks
