Voters Pick Alien Gear as “Best Holster In The History of Ever”
It seems we were not alone in giving Alien Gear Holsters high marks. The folks over at Concealed Nation recently hosted a poll asking voters to choose their favorite holster. From more than 20,000 total votes, Alien Gear was the landslide victor with almost 10,000 votes, accounting for 48% of the responses.
Crossbreed took second with 28% of the votes while Versacarry (9%) and N82 Tactical Holsters (6%) rounded out the top four as the only other holsters with 1,000+ votes. Meanwhile, big name holster manufacturers like Galco, Blackhawk, DeSantis and Fobus struggled to break the 1% mark in the poll. View the full results here.
If you have a holster that you especially love (or hate!), be sure to leave a review on the Gear Reviews board in the reviews section of the GunLink forums.
I’ve had my Alien OWB for a HK P2000 for a couple weeks. I can’t see where they’re any more or less comfortable than any of the other 5 manufacturer’s products I own. When I’m walking, I still have to hitch up my pants every minute or so, even with my belt so tight it hurts-just like every other holster I’ve owned. I can’t get the Alien to hold the weapon snugly-even with the thinnest tubing spacers they supply, tightened as much as I dare to. It just kind of ‘lays’ in the holster; like in a pouch, with zero retention. So it’s not the end-all of holsters—just another one.
