Plus I tend to wear a undershirt which goes between my body and the holster so that may help as well. I suspect that if it ever makes me sweat, it's less to do with the holster and more to do with the season (aka the hot Texas summer).

LosAlce wrote:Whats nice about Alien Gear is their return policy and their customer service. I had a question about a particular product and they answered me pretty much within the hour. That, along with the price point, the sheer volume of guns they provide kydex shells for, and the modular nature of their product convinced me. Mind you, they're not the only ones doing that of course, but I went with my gut. I always wonder if others are as obsessive as I am when researching

My only complaint about the Alien Gears is they are kind of a pain to take off/put on. This leads it to being my holster on the weekends and such. Since I can't carry at work, I put on my gun while headed to work, take it off and store it in the car and then put it back on for the drive home.

Haven't been able to carry for about a week now since I threw out my back but my better half says the alien gear is really comfortable and he didn't notice it at all...except for it made him sweaty. That's the reason we bought him the Stealthgear ONYX (we're still waiting on it. Lead time they gave us was 45 days) because he is a prolific sweater and it's breathable, as mentioned by dpop19. I'm hoping it will help keep him cooler (temp wise) so that it'll encourage him to carry everyday.

We also have a Gcode INCOG for our Glock 26 and Glock 17. They both can fit in the same holster and it is REALLY comfortable but probably more ideal for appendix carry. 2 o'clock and 2:30 also worked pretty well too. I would use it more but I need to lose a few more pounds before I would be satisfied with my ability to conceal it. Lead time on that was a long time too. Waited 7 weeks but it is definitely high quality. I was impressed and feel like I got what I paid for. The Alien gear by far was the most inexpensive. Wish I could tell you more about it but that will have to wait till i'm healed up.

I am a youtube fanatic when it comes to trying to choose the right gear for myself. I like to set and weigh all my options before I make a purchase, especially if it's going to be on a $80+ holster

Some folks will knowingly be happy with "out of sight out of mind." They may not like guns but they mainly just don't want to see them. Others, the anti's, are the ones wanting everyone posting 30.06/07 as well as taking ours away. Point being, I think that CC is more accepted because it offends fewer folks with sensitive dispositions. That isn't a statement of right or wrong, just an observation of where I think human nature is at.
