trying to order an Alien Gear holster...

[playallnight]

options for CZ 75 Compact and CZ 75 B compact (non railed). what the heck is the difference?

[Chicago Dude]

They messed up.
They are probably thinking P-01 (what they call "compact")
or
PCR and 75 compact (what they call "none railed).
Best to call them, and before you do that, check (in my opinion, by far the best holsters of this type) at Stealthgear which happen to have last day of Sale (using code that you will see on their website). They are more money than Alien gear, but you pay what you get.
If Alien gear is Impala, Stealthgear is Corvette.

Thanks. Those look really nice.

Lots of people start out with Alien and quickly move on. Not a bad holster, but a bit on the bulky side. I found the swappable shells convenient when I first started carrying since I changed guns a couple times. Their CZ compact listing is definitely confusing.

If you go this route, with kydex holster, make sure you use Quick Draw spray. This way your gun is not going to get scratched.
Lot's of people don't know that, hence they hate Kydex holsters (because they scratched the finish of their guns).

I called Alien and found that they don't have one for the PCR (The sales rep is a CZ "guy" so see seemed to know what he was talking about).  Until then I was all about Alien Gear.  But I bought a Stealth Gear Ventcore and I doubt I'll ever go back to Alien.

Ventcore is by far the best kydex holster out there. Nobody is even close. Not only because they are good quality (which they are), but because they are the only ones using flex technology that "wraps" (and can flex) around your hips. Nobody else has that. My only problem with kydex holsters is that I am still afraid they will start scratching the finish of my guns. I am using regularly Quick Draw spray, and people at Stealth Gear are assuring me that with this spray my guns will stay unscratched. Time will tell.

+1 on the Stealth Gear Ventcore. I love mine.

[Chicago Dude]

Yep,
These are mine, I use for my HK P30sk.

Is there enough clearance for an optic on the Stealthgear? And are they tuckable?

Don't know about the optics, you will have to call them, or just log on, and they will ask you if you want to chat.
They have few lines that are tuckable, one of them is revolution (pictured above on my pic), but what is also interesting, they have special materials that go next to your body, for added comfort and no sweat.

Gotchca. So many options out there, but it's pretty pricey to sample them all. Heard a lot of good things about Shook's too.
