Looking for my 1st IWB holster for S&W Shield 9 and Bersa Thunder .380. I was considering the AlienGear Cloak Tuck 3.5 with shells for each pistol. Anyone with EDC experience? Thanks
It is amazing the various answers I received when I asked a similar question. I found it interesting the comments from individuals that had several holsters for the same weapon. The conclusion I quickly came to is choosing a holster is definitely tailored to you and your requirements.
I had planned on trying different holsters from various companies that gave a two-week to a month trial period and would refund me 100% if I did not like their holster. First up was AlienGear (AG). Since I routinely carry 12-14 hours daily and I carry a bug, I wanted a system that could handle both. I have a Milt Sparks IWB for a P229 .40 that really wasn't that comfortable because of the rough leather being on the outside.
So, for my primary needs I wanted: 1) comfort; 2) not cause sweat buildup, and 3) a solution for my bug. I bought the AG ShapeShift Modular Holster System with two shells (one for primary, one for bug) along with the ShapeShift Pocket Carry Expansion Pack. After a week of wearing IWB and pocket holster, I knew it fit my needs and I did not try the other type of holsters with the leather/Kydex designs. Thus, I would highly recommend the AG.
My SIL carries a primary and bug as well and he bought the exact same AG ShapeShift Modular Holster System with two shells (one for primary, one for bug) along with the ShapeShift Pocket Carry Expansion Pack and loves it. He carries IWB and pocket as well.
AlienGear has a 30 day trial period. Good luck with your search!
Good, clear and informative answers, thank you. It seemed to me that the backside of the AG offerings would be more comfortable than others with bare leather. I liked the Tuck model over the Shapeshift because there are shells available for the Shield & Thunder.
