Alien Gear Shapeshift Core Carry Pack Holster - 4 in 1 Holster, IWB, Appendix, OWB Paddle and OWB Belt Slide Included - Closed and Open Carry - Tuckable - Right or Left Hand Draw - Made in USA

Fits the Springfield XD perfectly. Lots of options for inside or outside the pants. Much better than the cheaper holsters I've used in the past. More comfortable by far. This is my second one, the first was for a Hellcat and it's a perfect fit as well.

Bought the Alien Gear Shape Shift Core Carry Pack last month and I have been very happy with it. I always want to buy various holster configurations for any guns that I carry and would need differnt products for different conditions. This pack covers everything in one box and for a very affordable price considering what it comes with. You get IWB which is very comfortable and can be configured different ways for comfort, including appendix carry There are different choices in OWB including including Paddle, double and single belt loop. They even include an extra attachment that you can mount in your car or to a piece of furniture that the holster will attach to for quick access. One great feature other that excellent comfort is that you need no tool to change configurations. When you first open the box, the first thing you notice is that this kit comes with a lot of parts but after five minutes of looking things over it's very simple and easy to reconfigure. Very interesting concept in holsters.

The Holster showed up in a nice shiny box packaged very nicely which I appreciated. The holster had a nice hard shell that was super easy to swap around to the different carry positions, which was also very fun to do. Kinda like a toy for men. It was very comfortable to wear in all the positions. Definitely a very well executed all in 1 holster. You’d think because it’s trying to do everything at once then it would be bad at doing anything right, but you’d be wrong with that assumption. This holster delivers on everything it claims to do, to the letter.

1. Quality, material, workmanship = really good.2. Adjust'ability for cant on IWB appendix and OWB belt slide configuration = does not exist. You can not adjust holster cant of the IWB appendix carry configuration or the OWB belt (loop) slide configuration because those have the belt "interface" (the clip or loop) attached to the holster in only one spot so when the belt is parallel of course the clip or loops are also which means the holster will always be vertical.3. Paddle configuration = sticks out really far. Its nice but is really hanging out there, so unless you are in competition or really really into open OWB carry, this option is useless. This configuration is not for concealed carry. If they included a paddle version for concealed that was adjustable in can't and height it would be really great.4. Not complicated to configure out, but functionally could have been better = Ok I think for the idea and concept of a "modular holster" its good'ish. But its not great because there is a lot of "looks cool" and "over engineering" and some wasted improvement-opportunity going on, and a lack of functionality adjustability for some configurations. For example; The aliengear "alien head" paddle "looks cool" but does not fully stabilize the OWB paddle holster configuration against the body and belt and due to its shape and size it focuses the "wear" into one smaller spot against the body instead of distributing the bearing load to stabilize the holster more. Then not being able to adjust the cant and height on two of the most popular concealed carry configurations, the IWB appendix and the OWB belt slide, detracts from about 50% of the core carry pack usefulness for two of the most popular concealed carry holster configurations.5. Despite the implication from others or reviews or the company marketing language the core carry pack is still only focused on the 4.0 IWB carry with the large backing and the adjustable clips. In this aspect its good, and comfortable (subjectively) - but still has some issues; The holster configuration is really intended for a 4 - 5 o'clock position behind the hip bone because the 3 o'clock position on the hip bone although there is contact with the backing against the body the hip position causes the holster portion (with gun holstered) to sort of pivot on one spot along the horizontal axis. This 3 o'clock position issue is a result of the holster portion (with gun holstered) not having actual full "firm" contact vertically as it begins to ride on the pivot point provided by the shape of the hip bone even though it may feel like it does have full contact because of the backing.Overall: A lot of configurations but it only does one well which is the 4.0 IWB carry with the large backing and the adjustable clips, but then only really in the one body spot 4 - 5 o'clock position behind the hip bone. The IWB appendix carry and the OWB belt slide are functional, but their usefulness is dwarfed by the lack of adjustability of height and cant leaving them with "just gotta accept it and move on" so for IWB appendix carry and OWB belt slide, or even the OWB "paddle" configuration, I'd recommend holsters specifically made for and designed for that use because the alien gear "one size fits all" "modular" concept although functional lacks in these areas.

I absolutely love this holster pack, not only is it extremely convenient to have a diverse option for both IWB and OWB carrying abilities but the simplicity of swapping out the parts/pieces is extremely quick and convenient. The only downside in my opinion is the fact that I don’t have more of the half/full shell components so I can just have a holster for every day of the week/situation and be able to just grab one and go, having to take the few seconds to swap out the components for a carrying holster in different situations can be slightly obnoxious but as I stated before swapping the pieces is extremely convenient and quick. I highly recommend this Core Carry Pack for anyone thinking of purchasing a holster(s) for their CCW. I dropped $60 on my first IWB and it was extremely uncomfortable and felt like a waste of money, this was only $40 more and I got 3 extra holsters and countless options to go along with it. Again, couldn’t be happier.TL-DR version. Buy this holster, you won’t regret it.

AlienGear really did their homework on this system. The modular platform is incredibly well thought out and designed. MFG quality is rock solid.Everything in the kit is basically interchangeable. It allows you to configure an incredible number of carry variations. I may only use 1-3 of these options; but compared the cost of two, three + separate units, it’s less expensive. Having so many choices makes the value of this system off the chart.Fantastic job AlienGear. 100% happy with my kit. I look forward to you adding more pistol type/options.Update after months of use. IWB set up has been me every day carry for months. Comfort is fantastic. Still happy.
