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.

I have the older 3.0 and it is great. Moving up to this set up would be even better, I imagine he thinks it's just that good. However everyone has their own preference and what might be great for some, might be mediocre for others.

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.

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.

@killiansred1000 4 года назад

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 4 года назад

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

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

@ninja29mv 6 лет назад

Really like how it doesn’t rely on the backing for retention and you get the retention of an all kydex holster with the comfort of a hybrid. My question is how much thicker overall is it compared to previous models?

@angiemendenhall7826 6 лет назад

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.

@maximusjoseppi5904 7 лет назад

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

@copperdan7667 5 лет назад

I wish I had found your video a week ago when I first got my Shape Shift holster. I struggled with the directions. However, I figured most of everything thing out. I still wasnt sure on tightening the retention. Finally your video explained it. I must say I really like having all these options in 1 package.

@kennethmorrow5442 5 лет назад

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.

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.

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.

@nathans6782 7 лет назад

Great Video! I am personally not impressed with the gear and lock setup of the holster. It seems like a terribly weak design. 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.

However, the constant zooming in/out was distracting from what you were saying and a disorienting.

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! :)

@CGT80 6 лет назад

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.

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 RU-vid show and tell is called for. I mean if you want to be a master and whatnot…

I want to say thank you for reviewing the shapshift holster system. Because of your review I went ahead and purchased the core carry system and absolutely love it. It is amazing. I also purchased the Olight PL2 mini valkyrie 600 lumin weapons light because of your review of it. Your reviews are on point Thank you and keep up the great work. Thanks again.

Got my kit today. I've tried several OWB Holsters. Both high quality leather and hand made Kydex. None of them fit my frame correctly to keep from printing. I tried the OWB option in the kit. It was better, but still printed. I didn't think IWB would be comfortable. I pieced together the appendix carry option. Actually quite comfortable and easy to access. Also no printing. I will try to other IWB option later.

@clwither 6 лет назад

Excellent video and thank you for taking the time to make it. Was looking for something from Alien Gear to see what each configuration would look like concealed.

@aaronbrown7256 6 лет назад

I would definitely be sold on this, but the only issue is for people who have attachments on their handguns. For example the Viridian X5L. Some holsters have the ECR feature so thats very helpful that they have holster that fit comfortably, have great retention, and have ECR

@tjbelcher3144 5 лет назад

Been carrying the shape shifter for over a year now. Very comfortable and durable. I have a shapeshift for my XD and my M&P.

@jamessparks5966 5 лет назад

@Renaldo135 7 лет назад

@Neil you said before you didn't like the rubber attachment they used for their OWB slide or on the belt but just to let you know you can put the "ridged" attachment option in when you order it from Alien Gear instead. I just ordered a Cloak MOD OWB and did exactly that and love that holster as well as my IWB MOD 3 they make also. Again as always thank you for covering their products in a thorough way we all appreciate it. Now Alien Gear offers individual shape shifter holsters as well as the full kit.

@geaugafirearmsacademy 7 лет назад

R Sjr you're absolutely correct and thanks for the comment.

@SilentWatcher594 9 месяцев назад

I have A LOT of Alien Gear equipment. I love the quality and ingenuity. I dont do IWB, but there are different ways for OWB. Plus theres the drop holster for the upper thigh. Theres also the molle adaptor for web mount. Theres also the backpack strap mount.

I love the new shapeshift and the cloak tuck 3.0. I'll continue to use both. In my opinion the shapeshift is superior, it's very comfortable and easy to use. Re holstering your weapon has never been easier with any iwb holster. As far as mag carriers go for concealed carry i prefer knightfall customs double iwb mag carrier. Very nice carrier for a good price. It's comfortable, adjustable, and easy to conceal.

@theslowwalker 3 года назад

I was interested in Alien Gear holster but as I'm new to carrying I wasn't sure whether I wanted IWB or OWB especially since I'm CBB (Chubby). With this set up I can try out both and decide which to choose. I wanted a high carry and this looks great. I'm sold!

@kevinj.mitchellft3123 6 лет назад

Great review overall, great holster, if you look at how the locks interact its very sturdy. one thing that I do think no one covers well is the use of this IWB or the 3.0 with shirt tucked in! "cloak tuck" refers to a major point about the ability to tuck your shirt in. I can't have my shirt untucked for a host of reasons, can't holster phone dozens of times per day, access to tools, access to pockets all one handed while doing things. Professional appearance etc. this limits my carry options, the 3.0 was like a miracle to me! this system looks great. I would love to see what I think is the greatest feature about these AG holsters nicely covered and spread like you did with the review here. Nice Job, Great Holster, Thank You for work on this.

@Hogdriver88 6 лет назад

Not gonna lie - I saw Kim's review on this first because it popped up in my 'recommended' list. Continued clicking thru and found this very comprehensive review. I had been eyeing this rig for a while and after watching, just placed my order for it for my G19 with extra shell for G26, as well as double mag carrier. 30 day test drive will prove whether it's secure and comfortable. Hope so, because it looks good. And because of this review, you've earned a new subscriber. Good stuff...

@usmcvet0313 4 года назад

How did it work out for you?

@Hogdriver88 4 года назад

@@usmcvet0313 Honestly, this Alien Gear kit is crap. Holding 2 halves of a plastic holster together with little clips is a recipe for disaster. When assembled for the OWB belt holster (I won't call it a pancake because it's far from a pancake) the plastic belt loops strain and deform when the belt is secured - I can see them failing easily. The IWB iteration is ridiculously large, bulky, and uncomfortable. The paddle version is OK for walking around the woods or a day at the range, but not for security in public. As for the 30 day free trial, you pay shipping BOTH ways. At $20 each way for me (east coast), I'd be into this junk for $40 and have nothing in my hand. So I kept it as an example of what NOT to use for a holster. Save your money on this. If you're looking for concealed carry, buy a quality leather pancake holster for OWB and a Vedder for a slim, comfortable, IWB holster. It will cost you a little more, but it will be worth it.

Need a boot holster that actually attaches to the high type top work steel toe boot via a couple clips and that loops through the pull loops of the boot and maybe also has some plastic supports foe the weight of the gun and holster so that the setup doesn’t pull the top of the boot down at all. The ankle holsters cause rashes.

@flipdog69xxx 4 года назад

Just stumbled upon this video after several hours of watching other holster review vids. I LOVE VERSATILITY! I LOVE when a product can do MULTIPLE things (especially calibers that can fire other smaller calibers). AND there's model-shells for my Glock AND Beretta?!?! I think I found a winner with this one! Thanks sooooo much for the video review.

I can no longer CC in center back due to multiple back surgeries and 11 major surgeries left to go. I apendex carry, so far I love my sticky holster and yes it covers the trigger. But my drawback is I can't carry my extra mags. When I use it daily you literally can't feel you are wearing a holster and it doesn't cause you to sweat so no moisture gets to my 45. I've been looking at Alien wear simply because I can carry my extra mags. I need to one for my 45 and 40. I have others I leave home in case my sons are home and something bad happens I know they are able to protect themselves to. One has his own but the other only has a very nice rifle I gave him several years ago and in the house and how the layout is I don't think he'd be able to defend properly. I started teaching them both at 4 years old with my old 410 and worked the rest of the way up to different styles, gushes and how to brace & help each other. Today I held teach the grandkids at the same age. But I am maybe 100 pounds at 5'4" and there's zero chance I'd be able to fight a man even if I was in perfect shape. My favorite is the Glock. The 40 is a Taurus and it's very accurate. But the G, even if a part breaks or wet it would still work and the parts and interchangeable with any Glock. I'm really interested in the Alien wear and I know or have been told I can buy one molded to work with the sights and green or red dot I still want to buy. If anyone knows for sure I was told right about the mold and attachments please let me know for sure. But I do like the design of AW. It's hard for me to CC because of my size except in winter or my sticky I love so much. I was afraid it was going to shift but it stays put even if I have jogging pants on as long as it has a front tie at the waist it's never moved from where I put it. I really do want as much information on AW so if anyone uses it please give me some feedback and know it's very appreciated. I am disabled now so I'm looking for it to not only be quality but comfortable to. I see the belly bands but I don't think I'd really like those. Thanks for all/ any input. Also my state allows both CC and open carry.
