I mentioned my concern about this on page one of this thread when I first received my holster. My concern was not received well by some.

I hate this happened to you, but it is exactly what I was afraid of. As of right now mine is still holding up, but it is not EDC. I use it about twice a month.

I don't know how thick it is, but I do know it does not hold open like the Kydex on a Comp Tac or even the PHLSTER holsters. It wants to close when I remove the pistol which makes reholstering a little difficult.

I haven't had re-holstering problems, and if I did, for an IWB, I'm not spending much time quick drawing and re-holstering. In any case, should have sent it back for full refund if not to your liking - they have a great return and warranty.

You sound offended. Do you work for Alien Gear? You need to read my original post.

They have an excellent warranty.

I do not think this holster is Kydex. It is more like a thin "plastic" verses the Kydex. It carries nice, but I do not think it can replace Comp Tac.

I ordered one of these and it arrived today. I am out of town and did not bring it with me since I have not yet ran it through a trial period.
