We recently made the switch to Alien Gear Holsters Level 3 holsters, and the quality is absolutely outstanding. After years of using a very popular, high-end brand, we can confidently say Alien Gear has set a new standard.
The ordering process was fast, simple, and backed by some of the best customer service in the industry. We went from waiting nearly two months for a single holster to receiving 13 holsters from Alien Gear in under 10 days. That kind of turnaround makes a huge difference in our ability to hire and equip officers efficiently while keeping overhead costs down.
Performance-wise, these holsters are exceptional. The draw is smooth, natural, and consistent. The micro-adjustments available allow for a level of customization we haven’t seen before, giving each officer a perfect fit. Overall, this product exceeded our expectations—and as a business owner, that carries a lot of weight.
Safety:
We conduct frequent use-of-force and weapon retention training, and these holsters have proven to be incredibly secure. Attempts to remove a weapon without proper release are nearly impossible. In contrast, our previous (very well-known, law enforcement–used) holsters were much easier to defeat during training scenarios. Even when officers understood how the retention system worked, they still struggled to defeat it under pressure. Officer safety is the most important factor in this industry, and Alien Gear absolutely delivered.
Compatibility:
Several of our officers run Shadow Systems XR920P pistols, and these holsters accommodated them without issue. That alone saved us from having to source multiple custom solutions, which is a major advantage.
Overall, we couldn’t be happier with this transition. These holsters have improved our operations, enhanced officer safety, and streamlined our onboarding process. We highly recommend Alien Gear to anyone in the industry.
