    Carry Modes:
    1) Appendix Carry
    2) Outside the waist band 4 o'clock
    3) Outside the waist band level 2 retention
    4) Inside the waist band 4 o'clock
    5) Wall Mount
    *************************
    The ShapeShift Starter Kit is the foundation of the ShapeShift Modular Holster System, and includes everything you need to carry in four distinct ways. In just a few quick steps, quickly transform the ShapeShift into an IWB holster, appendix carry holster, OWB belt slide, and OWB paddle holster. The Starter Kit also includes a bonus Holster Mount, so you can attach your ShapeShift to a variety of surfaces in seconds.
    This Modular Holster System went through two years of development, and each holster method is unsurpassed in comfort and concealability. For those looking to carry concealed, the ShapeShift IWB Holster is comfortable and ultra-concealable. A stainless-steel core gives structural support to the holster, while a soft CoolVent neoprene base maintains essential comfort. The shell of the modular holster attaches to the base with a single mounting point, which eliminates printing and makes the holster bend against the body even better.
    Appendix carry has never been safer and more well-designed than with the ShapeShift Appendix Carry Holster. This holster is an upgrade from other appendix carry options because of the single mounting feature that improves concealability, and a breathable neoprene backer that makes carrying AIWB natural. The holster shell fully covers the trigger guard and includes an optional thumb release.
    The all-new ShapeShift OWB Paddle Holster is the next evolution of outside the waistband carry. With its customizable design, this modular holster can be equipped with adjustable active retention, passive retention, or both. An ergonomic thumb release, included in every Starter Kit, gives you the option to carry using active retention. The Adjustable Retention Unit allows you to customize your passive retention in seconds. To achieve the perfect draw angle, the ShapeShift OWB Paddle Holster is equipped with adjustable 360 degree cant and can be tilted in 12-degree increments.
    For those looking for the handiness that comes with a belt slide holster, Alien Gear stepped it up with the ShapeShift OWB Slide Holster. One of the main complaints about other belt slide holsters is wobbliness when holstering or drawing the firearm that leads to unreliability. The ShapeShift OWB Slide is made of the same sturdy material as the ShapeShift OWB Paddle, so there will be no instability or wearing down, only consistency from the first draw to the last.
    All holsters are made with the best and most durable materials, and Alien Gear Holsters backs this promise with a Forever Warranty and a 30-Day Test Drive. Made in America, unique to the planet.

    Was unsure which position i would prefer when i started conceal carrying. Like that this kit gives you the three most common options in one box (iwb, owb, appendix) plus the convenient owb paddle for quicker removal. Saved me buying four different holsters, and i only have to buy the shell for a different gun to use on the same system.

    Great review. I’m sold and this goes on my Christmas list. Around 16 minutes into the video you mention storing your pistol above the door frame where “kids can’t get at it.” Kids can get at anything! If you have children at home or frequently visiting grandchildren you must store your pistol in a steel lockable gun container by the time youngsters can walk or sometimes even crawl. I keep my pistol in a magnetically locked bedside drawer but even so when kids come to visit .... into the safe it goes. Thanks for your detailed presentation. Now I think the Alien Gear Core Kit is the way to go. MikeinMinnesota

Thanks sooooo much for the video review.

    This system is very well designed, every component is a real masterpiece. There is absolutely nothing on market that can be compared to this holster set. To quote Steve Jobs: “Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. The design is how it works.” This holster in every configuration is absolute perfection. I wish I could write well to express my finding and my judgment as an experienced mechanical design engineer when examined every component that came in a beautiful package. Proudly made here in the United States, but sold for a very affordable price. Another proof of excellence. Congratulations to the team.

    I personally want to say thankyou for this video. I'm a skinny fellow with a c.w.p. here in South Carolina. I've been looking for a better choice of concealed carry holster. I have looked at all the Alien Gear Holsters that apply to my Walther PPS M2 Law Enforcement edition 9mm (I carried open carry for over 18 years as an Armed Security Officer). Upon watching this video, I didn't have a good idea of how the system worked. Now I feel more confident to make the purchase for the Shape Shift Core Kit. Again many thanks to you.

    On the website Alien Gear advertises lifetime warranty. The backing on mine has broken down making it very uncomfortable. Alien Gear will replace it-for $14 because the backing is not made anymore and the current version is considered an upgrade. This is not my definition of a lifetime warranty.

    • @oxysz
      @oxysz Před 4 lety +1

      As a small business owner it makes sense because they don’t make it anymore . Don’t be so hard it’s $14.. is that cheaper than if I went and bought it off the street? Or will they sell you the upgrades version for a discount? If so I think it’s fair

    i dunno... just feel like it does everything decent but nothing awesome.. such is life if you can do a lot of things.
    the appendix rig is not good, way thicker than it needs to be and no claw.. its like a kydex holster with a pad in the back and wrap around clip?
    IWB is also thicker than it needs to be.. also like a kydex holster with a pad
    i think the OWB options, level 2 retention, and boltable mount are the best and are great ideas. kinda like a safarliand QLS but a little worse haha.
    thats what this system is haha, its a safariland QLS system with pads for IWB. really great of them for thinking outside the box though... and they pack an incredible value, jeez

Considering a loaded gun is in the holster and just the tension that could possibly be put on that small piece that holds the entire weight of the gun. Do you have any concerns of it breaking or the push button release letting go or breaking as well? Thanks for putting up great videos and your honesty in them.

      Hi Corran, we recommend our gun belts for the best outcome! :) The paddle attachment can fit up to 1 3/4" belt and the slide attachment gives you two options to pick from. The options are 1 1/2" or 1 3/4". Please give us a call if you have any other questions! :)

      The KORE looks like the best option out there. Thumbs down for Alien gear belt, since I couldn't find it on their site, then had to google search it, which leads to a sister web site. After finally seeing what Alien Gear claims is the belt "for best outcome," I see there is only one option and it has holes like a traditional belt. A number of reviews on that belt page have members complaining about the length of the belt. From what I read on the KORE belt, they are cut to length, up to 44", and they have notches every 1/4". While the Alien Gear holsters look like a great choice, their belt marketing here looks like BS.

      Hi JD, this new and improved holster has very strong, durable hardware that's made out of polymer. We have spent a lot of time and resources making sure that this holster is perfect! It has passed all of our tests and we can indeed say that we think it's the most durable holster we have yet! We actually think that this hardware is better than our previous holsters because screws can become loose with everyday use and fall out and that just does not happen with the new ShapeShift. Please send us a message at support@aliengearholsters.com if you have any questions or concerns. Have a great day!

      JD Younk - - I had my doubts as well but after a month of Zero issues, I have listed all my other holsters for sale Blackhawk, Safari Land, Fobus and others. Very intuitive design, you can just about figure everything out without reading the manual. Reliability has been exceptional!!!

      I don’t even like the name of the company, but jack of all trades, master of none seems a bit short sighted. What’s your vehicle a master of? Like a lot of fellows, I’ve got more holsters than pistols. This seems to be a MASTER at making a highly transmutable but quite effective tool. I now have ONE master IWB that is adaptable to most of my pistols. The added mastery of being able to carry a compact with a high cap mag on my fat 4:30 region is more than mastery, it’s perfection. I’m such a adhd freak that because of the name Alien Gear, I literally never touched one for years. I’ve been a farm to table chef for 27 years. What you’re saying is the equivalent to asking me what my “ specialty” is. All of it. That’s not braggadocio. I guess its perspective and expectation. By the way , to you and the other skeptics, have you actually tried one? I’m I know $39 is a lot, but with something so crucial and life altering, more that a CZcams show and tell is called for. I mean if you want to be a master and whatnot…

  • @randytipton4939
    @randytipton4939 Před 7 lety +4

    Good video, but I will pass. Too many parts, imo questionable security with fasteners that "lock", IWB looks really bulky, etc. I own a couple of the first gen AG holsters that I use on occasion and are decent holsters, but I don't feel as this is a true everyday holster. Looks like AG is jumping on the gimmick holster bandwagon, once again imo.

      Randy Tipton - I was skeptical at first as well but within a minute of opening my CCP I knew they had a “Completely Alien Design” that is out of this world;) It’s so good, I am selling all my other holsters. Nothing compares to the design and I have worn my very comfortable AIWB for the last month to include in shorts, with out a belt, my Sheild. Hands down the best I’ve ever used.

    I have the Aliengear Shape-shift & so far, I love it. Like most people, I never go anywhere without my firearm and I've been using this holster daily. The OWB slide works great for me & conceals my Glock 19. ( Which is soon to be replaced with the XDM) & all I need is the shell & there's no need to get another holster. I'm not a competition shooter & only train self defense so for me this setup is great. Awesome review.

    I received my starter kit and was showing my brother the inside the waist slightly forward of my back pocket. It was absolutely concealed. He just carries his small .380 in his front pocket as he said he couldn't get used to a holster. I told him that he needs to try this one. I forget I have it on.
    As we were sitting at the dinning room table I said say someone kicked in the front door.
    I drew my Glock 19 from my holster and and pointed it at the door. (It was unloaded with the magazine out) and he mentioned wow you drew that fast and your sitting down.
    I then realized that it can be drawn sitting down.
    i haven't heard anyone mention this in any video that I have watched.
    I love this holster.

  • @kennethmorrow5442
    @kennethmorrow5442 Před 4 lety

    Thanks for the video and all your instructions. I just purchased the ALIENGEAR
    4.0 IWB Holster for my Taurus G2C.
    I previously purchased another manufacturer's IWB Hybrid Tuck Holster that works relatively well. The shell on their holster is not supported as well. The shell collapses when you try to reholster. I have some ideas on how they can modify the other manufacturer can modify and improve their IWB Hybrid Tuck Holster, but that would increase their cost. The price on the ALIENGEAR 4.0 IWB Holster was slightly more than what I paid for the other IWB holster.
    It took a few tries to learn how to adjust the retention on the 4.0 IWB Holster. The Retention System uses a spare Lock Nut to adjust the tension on the firearm. You place the square end of the Lock Nut into the Retention System with the Square Hole You can increase or decrease the tension depending on which way you turn to the Square Hole.
    It may take several turns to adjust to your desired retention. ALIENGEAR recommends trying your IWB Holster out of the box with your gun to test the factory set retention and then adjust from there. I may go back and purchase some of the expansion items.
    Please remind your viewers that ALIENGEAR has a '30 day Buy and Try "program. They also offer an excellent warranty. I am filling mine out once I post this message.

    Just purchased a new EDC pistol recently and went hunting for a good holster system for it. My son told me about AlienGear, so I checked his system out and I really liked it. Also AlienGear Company is a local company where I live and I like the idea of supporting a local company. So I ordered the AlienGear Shapeshift 4.0 Kit system for my new EDC and I love it. For the money and quality you can't get any better than AlienGear. I would recommend AlienGear to anyone looking for a great holster system. This was a great review on the AlienGear holster system.

    This is my second viewing of this video and I saw something new... your zero cant adjustment. This has been something I've wondered about for a while now and I'm glad you covered that here.
    I've had the Cloak Tuck 3.0 for a while now and most recently ordered a shoulder holster with the Shapeshift platform and soon a Shapeshift Starter Kit.
    One of my chief complaints with the 3.0 was that the holster was just a smidge off on the cant while carrying a 1911. Knowing that the cant can be modified where the holster connects to the backing is a game changer as far as carrying my 1911 goes.
