Anyone know anything about alien gear holsters? Looking for a IWB that is going to help keep the gun as invisible and comfortable as possible. I am very slender and not a lot of cushion. Carrying at 4 o'clock is the most comfortable for me in both sitting and standing.

Was looking at this one. It's large but was thinking it would blend the lines better?

I’ve heard good stuff about alien gear but don’t personally use them. I use vedder holsters for IWB or versa carry if I carry OWB.

Thanks Dave. Of the many styles and brands I've looked at the alien gear seems to be what I am looking for.


What style of clips work the best to keep it in place? I see there is an option on most of the higher end holsters. Wearing a belt and Dickies type work pants 24/7/365.

He's a fairly slim guy 125# or so IMG_20220116_174716.jpg
He prefers the plastic version.

He carries daily and that cz75 compact is a heavy sucker for a compact.

Yeah, my PPK is steel frame and weighs twice what my micro 9 weighs and they're the same physical size. I don't think I could carry the PPK without suspenders!

I got that rail adapter installed IMG_20220116_201828.jpgIMG_20220116_202057.jpg
It's spring loaded and simply
Pushes into the larger railIMG_20220116_202423.jpg IMG_20220116_202729.jpg
It locks up very solid
And brings your eyes more in line with the factory sights
The dot is just above them.

Any of the hybrid holsters will do what you are looking for. The alien gear holster you linked looks unnecessarily bulky. What pistol are you going to carry, and does it have a light or laser?

Made me some holsters with horsehide backing instead of cow leather. Work great, but there are other makers out there as well.

Kimber micro 9. No fancy add ons.


Those definitely look less bulky for sure.

Thanks, I am going to order one right now. Low is what I wanted.
Seems sturdy I spun the rifle using the red dot it didn't break or anything.

Tried some of this federal punch .22 in my Walther P22. This stuff is loaded hot! Almost sounds like a .22 mag! 29 grain bullet going 1070fps out of a 2" barrel. 1650 fps out of a 24" barrel. I like it.

Sounds like Stingers. You can definitely tell when you're shooting those.
