I love my shoulder rig. So versatile. My wife got me one for my birthday 3 yrs ago. Will not carry another way. When i feel like a brake on shoulders i can shape shift to a drop leg. Just a well thought out system.
I ordered a Shapeshift shell for my Glock 19X and cut the holster back so it will clear my Trijicon RMRcc. I couldn’t be happier with this setup as my EDC.
The reason the belt clip doesn’t go short enough for you is because you aren't wearing the rig correctly. Your firearm is hanging way down by your elbow. It should be tucked up into your armpit, as far up as you can get it without it being uncomfortable (it does take getting used to) or difficult to draw smoothly.
Let's just say I drive strangers around town. They sit directly behind me sometimes. Having a quick unobstructed access to my concealed firearm is preferable.
Sounds shady AF lol. But hey whatever. Yeah I'd want quick access too 😎. I think I'm gonna get this holster what do you think did you get it? Is it good, comfortable, all that shit?
I've always carried in a shoulder rig, mostly the Miami Classic 2.0 and the bulkiness of the Alien Gear is the biggest reason I haven't gotten one. There are just way too many layers of material for the holster. They are on the right track, but it needs to be streamlined. Instead of trying to make it so that you can use the same holster in multiple configurations, they should cut out all that extra material by just making a purpose built shoulder rig with comfortable, durable, modern materials and technology.
The cloak model holds your gun in a kydex like material and that’s about it. The shapeshift model is made of a plastic shell that you can remove and put on any other alien gear holster type. Ex: IWB, OWB, shoulder holster, ankle, etc. one shell can be swapped out to any other.

Hellcat is where it’s at brother. Can’t wait to get my Alien Gear shoulder rig.
I own a Alien gear core pack & love it, solid product.
Good review on the shoulder holster, I might just have to get it too!

Thank you for this informative video.
Great video very good info and review I’m sold just need to get wife’s approval
I'm having trouble to get it really comfortable, but I agree, it beats all the weight on your hip.
Mine was not very comfy till i got it broke in good. After 3 yrs i barely feel it. It will get better feel i promise.
where is the link and the discount code to purchase. Thank you Happy New Years!
Great review, thank you
The Falco is much less bulky and concealable in a suit
Can you do a review of this using a SA government model 45?
I just ordered one to wear under my motorcycle jacket. About to get a bike and just can't bring myself to have it on my hip on a sportbike
I just ordered this one today dude. How is it do you like it? Is it super adjustable like I've been seeing? I got the black one btw.
The Alien Chest holster fits perfect under vest while riding.
Or under jacket while running, etc

Shoulder holsters is a must for bikers

Looks good but looks bulkier than other shoulder holsters

What is the difference between the shapeshifter and cloak models?
The cloak model holds your gun in a kydex like material and that’s about it.
The shapeshift model is made of a plastic shell that you can remove and put on any other alien gear holster type. Ex: IWB, OWB, shoulder holster, ankle, etc. one shell can be swapped out to any other.
Sold
If it’s not leather… you’ll end up buying it again, in leather.
How do you draw with a should holster that fits f you are wearing a button down shirt?
5.11 has snap buttons
Massad Ayoob did a video recently about different kinds of shoulder holsters and draw techniques for each. You should check it out
@@active4delta I saw that vid just a few vids before this one. Very informative.
If it’s your top cover snap buttons would be your only choice. Usually I’m wearing a coat or sweater if I’m wearing my shoulder holster.
