Well, I've spent the past three hours trying to get this to work. Multiple adjustments, larger pants, longer belt, different positions around the waist, but it just isn't going to work. The gun can be pulled out with some effort, but it's next to impossible to re-holster it. Because of the flexible rubber pieces that sit between the holster and the backing , the belt and pants squeeze it closed at the top. I've install the largest rubber pieces shipped to no avail. I tried modifying the backing to no avail. Pretty disappointing to spend $80 and have to throw it in the "unusable" box. Oh well, time to start looking elsewhere.
That doesn't sound right, mine is fine - i would suggest contacting them to discuss, they're normally pretty helpful.
Agreed, I'd give them a shout, describe what's happening, see if they have any solutions... I did an Alien Gear for a 1911, felt it was too bulky and didn't conceal the 1911 sufficiently for my likings. Went with a Milt Sparks Nexus and never looked back...
Contact Alien Gear. They'll do right by you
Nope. Call them. They will work w you
I have a good many Alien Gear and Crossbreed, Raw Dog Tactical for IWB, and a few OWB. Most of the IWB shells are made with thinner, more flexible, Kydex. It closes up when unsupported by the gun. That is the way of the beast, My Raw Dog uses thicker Kydex and you can, if very careful, re-holster. I use a stiffer one piece Kydex from Cook's And I'll talk about it a little. When I was looking several years back, they were to only one with the features I wanted. Now there are a ton of similar holster's available. Cook's offers three different shell thicknesses .060, ,080, and ,093. I get .80 in a color. .093 is only in black. Color is not really important, but it allows me to style in front of a mirror. also since I have many carry guns it allows me to more quickly find the appropriate holster (don't use the same color). Like you I have a Taurus G2 and two G2C's one 9 the other 40, the same holster fits all three, safeties and all. I have them for S&W, and my XD40 SC's, so color works for me. That said the other tow important features are retention adjustability, and the big SINGLE clip. single is for simplicity of adjustment of the clip, it is wide for stability when wearing it (Like two clips offer stability) One clip is easier for you to move around on the belt to find that 'sweet spot'. any way the particular clip on this holster allows you to place the ready to go gun and holster safely in that spot with one fell swoop. the clip will hold the gun and holster where you put it. The retention you choose determines how easy or hard it is to draw the gun. If I draw my gun I can easily open the clip and remove the holster, place the gun back in the holster and then put the whole kit-and-caboodle back in position on my belt, straiten my clothes and act as if someone else passed gas.
