Alien Gears are not bad, IMHO, they are actually comfortable once you get them on. I've actually stopped using all of mine. I just find them more of a pain to mount up than a one-clip holster like many of the kydex offerings out there. Also the kydex holsters using a claw type attachment can help pull the grip of the gun closer to you and help in concealment. Alien Gears don't do that as well. I will say their customer service is great, though. Having the option to just change out shells for free to fit different guns is a great unique selling point. I bought one of mine used and AG still swapped the shell for free, minus S&H.
