Alien Gear - 1 Year ShapeShift 4.0 IWB Review

[@ManeIndian]

I purchased a 4.0, 2 years ago because of this review. Holster still going strong.

[@nomad155]

Still good for you? I'm planning on getting the shape-shift to go with the belly band but it'll be my first holster. It's still good?

[@doubledoublecapncrunch8306]

@@nomad155i mean a quick stroll of the comments tells you multiple people have great experience w it, so yeah i'd assume it's good or just return it tbh

[@koorite.]

I have this same holster, and in February of 2019, I will have carried it with my m&p shield every day for 1 year. Being my first concealed carry holster, it took some getting used to, but now 10 months later, i sometimes forget that i have it on. Nothing has broken yet and everything still works great. I'd recommend this holster and would buy it again if i ever lost it.

[@BirdmanMedia_Reviews]

Yup, sounds familiar.

[@xMontorix]

This was great to read. My first firearm is a M& Shield 380 EZ and this is m first holster as well. Hopefully I'll feel the same as you.

[@koorite.]

@xMontorix Just for an update, I carried the same setup every day for the last 5 years and it's just as good as the day I got it!

[@DavidGCU]

This was by far the best review i've seen on this holster! you've earned yourself a subscriber.

[@BirdmanMediaOfficial]

Thanks man.

[@JimJWalker]

I just got one for my M&P 2.0 full size. It is amazing that with this holster you can just about conceal a full size with a t-shirt, but with any over shirt/jacket you are 100% concealed.

[@nhrafan335]

Great video and review. I've have the Alien Gear 2.0 IWB holster and love it. After watching your video and a couple others I pulled the trigger tonight and purchased the Shape Shifter 4.0

[@ecodrove]

Alien Gear should add this thi their advertisement "Holster made for dancing FBI guy" lol

[@BirdmanMedia_Reviews]

Haha, thanks.

[@rocketboyjv5474]

I love you man. Thanks for bashing on the dumb safety check so many people do on video. I share the same opinion.

[@rugfixr]

If you pause at 3:58 you can tell that about a half inch of the material has become thread bear with some of the cording underneath showing. If this is what we can expect after just one year of use, how will this have held up after two or three years? A holster should last longer than just a few years. but since there's a lifetime warranty with this holster, I'm assuming this would be covered.

[@BirdmanMedia_Reviews]

Yeah, I even call it out in the video. I still wear that exact same holster and 2 years later (I wish I could just post a photo here,) and it has worn through more, but nothing has unraveled. Yes, I could have it replaced under warranty, but to me it isn’t an issue.

[@johngrunwell2412]

Very good and a long wear review. One added note, I EDC both the G19 and G26 Gen 4s and the G19 shell works with NO problems or even having to adjust the retention between the two carries. I holster and draw alot, no wear on either platform and it is a smooth draw. Not just a holster, but a System. I have the 3.0 and the 4.0 is a great improvement. Great video, Thanks. 😆 Additionally, for those that may augment thier carry (light and/or laser) may have to look at the kydex sandwich drag it out holsters 😩.

[@Kevin-uj9pz]

I have had this holster system for a couple years now, and it is hands down my favorite holster and I have a drawer full of holsters! I recently had to switch to black arch iwb holster because I put holosun optic on my 43x. The black arch is a great holster, but I still prefer my alien gear for little reasons such as how easy it is to switch the belt clips, the retention and just overall comfort. Someday Alien gear will make a shell for my 43x with optic and my black arch will go back in the drawer.

[@Belt372]

Well sir you made me buy two of these thank you been 5 months now for the one and I love it still

[@BirdmanMedia_Reviews]

That’s awesome to hear.

[@eazye210210]

Awesome review !! Gonna grab mine soon . Looks like a comfortable holster for all day /everyday carry.

[@roberttaylor3659]

I wanted the holster for my s&w m&p 2.0 shield 9mm with integral crimson red trace laser . Contacted the company several times and they state they don’t have one yet . As popular as this gun is and the increasing sales you would think they would get one in production. Patiently waiting still . I really want this . Now

[@BirdmanMedia_Reviews]

Your patience is like my wife’s. NOW! LOL

[@justinhodge2297]

Yep, I'm in the same boat with the XDs Mod 2.

[@venomrogue1]

I got the Core Carry Pack which includes that IWB, and a lot more. Love it. Going on 3 months with it now. I use it and also the OWB belt slide. Not the big bulky one that sticks out, but there is a slide that screws directly to the shell. Much closer to body. Easier to conceal. I use it mostly at range, and occasionally as EDC. I use the thumb release instead of the retention piece as on the IWB. Since I have an extra shell, I don’t have to disassemble either one. Works great! Oh, I have M&P9 M2.0 4.25”

[@c39v26]

I went with the 3.5 over the Incog for my cz75b because they had left draw holsters and Incog did not. This holster would not let me carry cocked and locked,Everytime I'd holster it ,the holster would switch off the safety! I borrowed a Dremel and buzzed that area off the holster. Now I can carry apendex safely. It is easy to adjust so that I can carry apendex my cz75b, imagine that!

[@BirdmanMedia_Reviews]

I let Alien Gear know, you might wan stop drop them a note as well. Thanks for the feedback!

[@outlaw699]

Can't wait until they make one for my S&W M&P 2.0 9mm compact. Until then, my Alien Gear 3.5 holster will have to do. Great video.

[@FameeGFX]

They do offer one for the 2.0. I have the first shield and almost accidentally ordered the 2.0. aliengearholsters.com/sw-mp-shield-20-9mm-shapeshift-iwb-holster.html

[@outlaw699]

I don't have the shield, I have the M&P®9 M2.0™ 4" COMPACT THUMB SAFETY that I carry. They don't the shape shift yet. Hopefully soon!

[@FameeGFX]

@@outlaw699 Click the link I posted, they do have one for the 2.0 9mm. Unless I'm not understanding you correctly.

[@CatMan_7]

FameeGFX - The Shield and Compact are completely different in size and shape. The Shield uses a “single” stack magazine, while the Full size and Compact pistols are “Double” stacked. Alien Gear(AG) offers a holster for the 3.5” barrel Compact, Dave has a 4” barrel Compact that is “”NOT”” available, yet. The AG 3.5 Clock Tuck is what Dave is carrying his 4” barrel in, I surmise. Honest mistake with the holster generation numbers 3.5 Cloak Tucks vs the 4.0 Shape Shifts, and the Barrel lengths being discussed 3.5” vs 4”. I’m a big fan of the AG line myself and eagerly await the release of several different holsters. My other pistols are jealous 😹💚👽

[@outlaw699]

Yes, thanks CatMan 82375. If you ever do buy an Alien Gear holster you will love it and love the customer service.

[@flycrew]

Nice review. There are mixed reviews on this holster. One being that it is too thick. I can see where this could be a problem, but I am thinking I will buy the core carry kit as a test to see what I like. Again, nice duration of testing.

[@BirdmanMedia_Reviews]

Search my channel and I actually show a caliper comparison versus the 3.0. I don't find that it wears or feels any different at all.

Thank you for a legitimate review. You have influenced my decision.

[@madrid9968]

Did you go with it ? If so what u think ?

[@williammurphy6708]

@@madrid9968 I bought one ShapeShift Core Carry Pack. Tried using the IWB holster on the tac course, your hip will remind you to not do it again. The thigh holster held up well, had to reduce the friction a bit for draw timing, never had it fall out. For everyday carry, the IWB is comfortable. The Backpack chest holster is questionable, protrudes a bit too far.

[@sijonda]

I bought a 3.5 and have been happy with it. I have to check on the belt clip screws every few days but that's not a big deal. I've changed it's angle position on the body almost a dozen times now trying to find the perfect spot where I'm comfortable, doesn't print, and I can sit down without it catching on my chair or more importantly my pants when drawn. Definitely glad I bought it but it's a shame Alien Gear doesn't make a shapeshift for the Ruger SR1911 Commander. I did buy an OWB shapeshift for my Beretta 92 and will probably build a government 1911 some day.

I have a couple questions. Because I am considering this holster for my Sig P938. First, will this holster accommodate the Sig laser or would you even know? And the other question, will this holster be comfortable for guys who have a bit of a gut? Honest questions to know if this is comfortable long term. Thanks in advance.

Maybe mine will wear out and I can warrant upgrade lol

Keep in mind this is a product that is designed for multiple holsters, thus for the 19 may seem a little long.

[@SnD340]

That's a pretty big gun ur trying to conceal though

[@BirdmanMedia_Reviews]

Works well.

[@vczsp]

In the case of a 1911, you would recommend leaving the first clip in the highest possible position and the one in the middle equal to this for your glock, or recommend leaving the first clip in the highest and the second clip in the last lower hole in view that the 1911 cable is bigger?

[@BirdmanMedia_Reviews]

It is always personal preference, but what you describe does sounds as if it would aid concealment. Just make sure it isn’t at the cost of an easy draw.

Looking to order this for my LC9. After so many years, have you had any issues with clips staying tight on your belt?

Luckily nobody saw it, but it has me nervous about any system that doesn't require threading the belt through the holster.

[@mxrider0489]

How does the base of the grip hug your body without the need of a claw?

[@BirdmanMedia_Reviews]

I'm not understanding the question. The entire holster is inside my pants. The clips at either end clip from the inside to the outside of the belt, so the ends are put in place by the clips and the belts compresses everything else.

Very good review. I have a G19 and have replaced the factory sights with TruGlo sights that are slightly taller. Is there enough clearance for the sights in this holster for it to work with my setup?

[@cbkb983]

Is there a chance you can do a video with it in both IWB and OWB configurations with the 19X? I'm trying to decide between the G19 or G45 and would like to see the difference in printing, drawing and shooting etc. Excellent video Birdman. Just subed.

[@BirdmanMedia_Reviews]

Let me see what I can do. Might be a week and a half out.

[@Iamizmztik83]

Does this work for a gen 3 G17

[@BirdmanMedia_Reviews]

I believe it should. Drop Alien Gear support a line, they are good at getting back.

[@Iamizmztik83]

@@BirdmanMedia_Reviews I called and was told the gen 5 was the only one it didn’t work with. Hopes this helps anyone else. Thanks!!

Thanks

I pre ordered this hosted and used it for 3 guns and over the entire time it’s been great but they have gone through all my jeans. But I guess that’s what you get for carrying everyday

[@robhephner]

Ezequiel Macias one thing is for certain. They don’t make jeans like they used to.

China Jeans ! Vote Republican for more China Jeans

We’re they Levi’s?

[@jpoprock]

Are all IWB holsters this way with jeans?

[@jdfrapart]

Sorry they don't make one for the Colt Mark IV Officer edition. have 3 Semi-autos that I switch between but can justify going to the ShapeShift until they have a holster shell for each one, as easy as it looks to switch between. Still waiting.

[@BirdmanMedia_Reviews]

Make sure to drop them a note. The more input the get, the more likely they’ll make it.

[@MrJkfamilyguy59]

Only property is Alien Gear does not make a RMR cut yet. Great holster otherwise.

[@Skydive1919Gaming]

Does it cover release magazine button??

[@BirdmanMedia_Reviews]

I’m right handed, so the mag release button is against my body and covered. But no part of the holster is near the mag release as the entire grip is free to be grabbed. Not sure if that’s what you’re looking for.

[@Skydive1919Gaming]

@@BirdmanMedia_Reviews I'm right handed and I want to buy 4.0 holster and also appendix . I want to learn if the button can pressed accidentally and release the magazine . But I think that it cover buy the back of the holster .so it's not possible to release the magazine ?

[@Renaldo135]

it's not 100 dollars and if i wanted to spend that much I'd get a better holster that also secures the trigger with real kydex not molded plastic and get a black arch prothesis.

[@BirdmanMedia_Reviews]

So you’re saying you don’t spend money for quality?

[@samtaylor7800]

For some reason i still cant trust it. To many parts for a holster.

[@BirdmanMedia_Reviews]

Seriously, well over a year now and nothing shows any concern.

[@BirdmanMedia_Reviews]

Seriously, every single day for well over a year and nothing has given any indication it is worn or going to break. And technically it has less parts than the holster it replaced....go count them. ;)

[@samtaylor7800]

@@BirdmanMedia_Reviews i think you got me talked into trying it. I had the cloak tuc 3 and i loved it. I wish they still made that one.

[@BirdmanMedia_Reviews]

Hey, you get a 30-day test ride. No real risk.

[@HaemonAK]

Loving my Shapeshift for the shield. Will say it's ultra comfortable, drawing is very easy. Took about a week for it to form to my side and be apart of me through the day. One tough holster and their service was amazing. I noticed the same little marks on my gun, called and they offered and sent to me (very fast) a new shell. Which I've not used because I realized the marks were actually on the finish it was just polymer laying on top of my guns slide as it was form fitting to the gun. Could have used a bit of fine sanding at worst but it was good after 1 week. Super easy to use, strong clips too. No regrets here in the slightest.

[@trpshooter9945]

Mine came apart first try, the loop locking insert slipped straight out the holster still connected to the belt clip. No way in hell will I recommend this dangerous abortion!

[@BirdmanMedia_Reviews]

Yeah, probably best to leave your gun in the safe.

[@danielcoulter6102]

I've been using mine for about a year now....havnt had any issues. Gonna order a new shell for a glock 20

[@joegondo5168]

Leggo holsters ..way to bulky..simple it is not !!...great jeans review🙁

[@BirdmanMedia_Reviews]

What, you missed how well the 5.11 pants did?!?

[@TheRsbas]

They have terrible customer service.

[@BirdmanMedia_Reviews]

What?!?

[@noelrmiller]

FYI: I called just now to check and I was #27 in line and 30+ min wait. To return a holster within 30 days you have to call (and wait).

[@JM-Blackjack]

A joke. Poor design

[@craigr.h.laurent240]

Too much chatter and too long. The issue is not looking at year long wear or cleaning the holster. The video should have been HALF as long. He presented a great holster, but too much talk and too long.

[@BirdmanMedia_Reviews]

Awesome, I’ll check your channel to see what I should be doing. Thanks.

[@tonyc2205]

Wow Craig maybe you should have left at 6 minutes and 18 seconds then.

[@markschoch9509]

You can't sit through a 12 minute video? It's called attention span. It's what we accuse millennials of not having, I guess they learn it from somewhere. Btw, if you can't sit through a 12 minute video, due to lack of bladder control or whatever, there's this cool option of clicking on a different video. Try it out.
