Anybody have an Alien IWB Cloak Tuck 2.0 holster? I'm thinking about placing an order but would like an honest, impartial review first. Thanks!

I like them, very comfortable and hold the firearm securely. Does not print. I did the twofer and sprung for an extra shell. Good construction quality throughout....well worth the money IMO.

Looks to be a great little holster. I'm going to there websight now to order one for my new Glock 43. Are they pretty fast on their delivery and shipping times ???

Thanks for all of the replies. I did a bit of internet research and even the negative reviews admit that they are a good value for the money. I decided to order another Crossbreed this time around, but will probably pick up a couple of Alien's in the future for guns that I don't carry very often. Hard to beat the price.

I have been carrying a full size S&W M&P .357 Sig in one for a couple of w3ks and must say I don't notice that it is there. It is very comfortable and does not print. I usually wear it under just a T-shirt. I was really surprised by how well it works considering the price.

Biggest issue with any of the leather/kydex combos is having the leather partially collapse over time. This leads to digging with the muzzle (pointing it into your butt) for the reholster. If you can be cognizant of that then go for it. The hybrid holsters in general conceal as well as anything you are going to find.

Good product. Don't expect quick turn around and don't expect they'll respond to any emails wondering when the product will be delivered. Good product, worst customer service in the industry.

Yeah, delivery was a bit slow. About what you might expect from a custom maker. Can only imagine the volume of orders they are getting at those prices.

I bought two of their holsters for 2 of my Glocks and had them in hand in about a week. Maybe just the luck of the production cycling as they most like sell a lot of Glocks.
Very impressed with the quality of the materials and the extra pieces that come with them for adjusting the holster. Very comfortable and a tremendous value in my eyes.
I think they also manufacture another line of IWB holsters that are identical but under a different name for about $60 ??????

Holster showed today. Pretty pleased.
Easily adjusted, very comfortable... holds the 43 very well, draws and clears with ease.
