I've never gotten my hands on one but I have heard good things from people I trust if that helps.

It is highly likely the above post may offend you. I'm fine with that.

I have one for a Glock. The only time I have messed with it is right after I got it. It did need adjusting for height and retention but that was easy. The leather is thick and not chamfered on the edges so I will be doing that soon. I need to actually wear it to report on comfort. It is not as nice as my Crossbreed (horsehide) that I use for my Shield but is a good value for the money. My crossbreed squeaks and that is my only complaint for it. My daughter asked me yesterday if I was wearing my gun. I asked if she could see it and she said no, I hear it. Funny that she knew that is what it was. I will have to work on that squeaking.

I would probably buy another Alien but maybe I will try a Foxx also.

I wouldn't recommend a Foxx IWB holster,thin leather and very rough
on the inside. I have one for my lc9, a shirt on the inside is a must.

I like my Galco king tuck for my Glocks, very comfortable but couple years
of wear looking for possible replacement.

I wore my Alien Gear holster and Glock 26 while working around the yard this evening. The adjustments are maxed out for lowering the ride. It is still too high. I know they use the same holster for all size frames. I am going to punch new holes to lower the gun and add more cant. If I like it that way, I will also trim some off the bottom of the leather. I think it will be fine after customization.

My crossbreed squeaks


When my leather VMII holster squeaks, a little baby powder in the appropriate area usually quiets it

Thanks for the tip! I have found the reason and have been thinking about a solution.

The price is certainly right, would be worth a try for that $ very happy with my N8squared though!
