Great holster.
Fits my glock 43x perfect. It's adjustable to be more comfortable. I wear it at home, out and about, and at the office with a tucked shirt. Very comfortable, even used it for appendix carry once or twice. Great holster!

Canik Elite SC Dream
I've had issues finding decent holsters for either of my Caniks (Elite Combat & Elite SC). I finally found an Alien that supported them. I picked up the SC since that's my EDC.I'm 5'8", 160lbs, mid 30 waist and right handed.I initially kept wearing this in the 1-3 o'clock position. It was well enough if I were standing and walking but was an absolute bear if I kneeled or sat down. I adjusted the cant/height and couldn't make it work for all situations. Two weeks in and I finally realize I should keep spinning this puppy around to the 4-5 o'clock and it all clicked. Finally I have an incredibly comfortable holster.The pistol is held tight and secure. You have a few combinations of customization to meet your needs.My only gripe is one of the hex screws holding the shell keeps coming loose. It seems to only hold on by a couple threads so I may search out or make a slightly longer one that I can thread lock.Overall though, a complete 10/10. Comfort for me and my canik throughout the whole day of driving, walking, kneeling, climbing etc...

Nice materials and construction for a very fair price
Nice materials and construction for a very fair price... Thin and comfortable for long-time wear in the 4 o'clock position. A bit wide for 3 o'clock wear if you are not an XXL sized dude... (I wear a 34" waist and the wings end up protruding a bit in 3 0'clock position on me. Adjustability and simplicity receive pretty high marks from me. You can control cant and depth with a simple, tool-less adjustment which is very welcomed!Retention and speed of draw were excellent. I even ran this in 12 - 2 o'clock carry with solid results. Draw was a cinch and concealability was as good as can be expected. The system has a bit too much of a footprint to move very well with you for appendix carry... It conforms to you and hugs so well that when you crouch it tends to stay put and dig in. Depending on the cant you are running this can be downright painful, if not at least uncomfortable. You can decrease your carry depth to relieve this issue, but then you give up concealability.I'd recommend this for anyone looking for high-quality, lightweight, all-day comfort for the 4-5 o'clock position, which is what it was designed for... It can be used effectively in the 12-3 o'clock zones but with some compromises compared to other offerings.

Well made and hides very concealed.
With this kind of purchase and knowing that on Amazon you can update your review, I always start with 5 stars if everything looks to be as described and well built.At this point only having this holster for one day I can offer first impressions and how it compares to the CrossBreed that I have carried daily for the last 6 years.First would be build quality. This holster seems to be very well made. The fit and finish are outstanding. The first thing that I realized when making the adjustments for fit and proper positioning for carrying was how strongly the belt clips hold to your belt and how firm the holster holds the sidearm.In all my time carrying with the crossbreed I found three design issues with it that weren't extreme but were both anoying and concerning.1. It squeaked even when oiled and well broke in. Not nearly as much after the first 6 months or so, but like most quality leather. It did and even enough to be heard by the person walking next to you.I finally added two of those carpet backed self-sticking furniture pads made to go under chair legs to protect hardwood floors etc. between the belt hooks and the leather. This cut down most of the sound but it was still there.2. The rear hook on the Crossbreed often came away (unhooked from belt) leaving the rig dangerously unsecured and only noticeable when you happen to feel your rig working out high enough to risk exposure. I should point out that this only happened when I would crouch down to greet one of my dogs or a small child etc.3. My Crossbreed put very little retention pressure on my sidearm ( Colt 1911 Commander) often leaving me to wonder what would happen if I ever had to really run while carrying. Let alone if you were to have to hang upside down for some strange reason.So far if the indicators from first impressions are even close to what is to be expected are correct. I do not expect any of these issues with the model Alian Gear offering that I received.Tomorrow 01/10/19 will be the first full day of its use. I will check back in a couple of weeks with an update. Hoping to be able to leave its rating at five stars.Update; Still five stars after daily carry for many months now. The only issue I've had was losing two of the spacers and screws that hold the holster to the backing material. This I would recommend checking now and then. Or once you know the combination that you like maybe using a removable lock-tight on the screws. I really like this holster and I am completely won over with both the design and quality of it at any price.I will add that you most defiantly will not have to worry about the clips hopping over your belt and freeing your rig. LOL, you will see what I mean should you decide to give it a try.

belt/jeans best holster!. Med to large build Recommended by gun instructor.
This brand was recommended to me as the best holsters sweat proof and comfortable to secure the gun and trigger by the 25 year instructor and former officer who travels and trains all over the country. It makes the gun well secured. I am a very tiny person and I do not recommend this style if you have a very small waist and wear mostly leggings. If you are a woman and built small this brand I would highly recommend but the belly holster they offer instead. It’s more expensive but well worth it !! I highly recommend this holster for handguns to men. The company is excellent and comes packaged well. This is not comfortable at all to wear and do not order if you are a tiny built person or woman with a small waist. I recommend if tiny to order the more expensive but highly comfortable belly band instead. Alien Gear is the BEST and comes recommended by law enforcement

Comfortable Well-Built Holster
I have always heard great things about Alien Gear and finally decided to buy a holster. This tuck holster fit my Hellcat perfectly and is extremely comfortable to wear. I am a bigger guy (6'1" and 265lbs.) and I wear this at my 8 o clock (left handed). I hardly notice it is there once I have it in place. Highly recommend this holster!
