    Does anyone here use them? If you do, do you like it? IWB for a compact carry
    I have them on a short list, decent reviews and price are the first two factors.
    others on the short list are: Theis Holsters, Hidden Hybrid, N82 and White Hat.

    I've own 3 of Tommy Theis holsters, and really like them. Tommy is a stand up guy, and makes a great product at a fair price.

    I was looking at them for a long time (Theis Holsters), they are a close second right now. Hickok likes one of his in a video I saw a couple days ago, he turned me onto researching him. What makes and calibres are you using Theis with?

    Here are my holsters...

    Talon pocket Holster
    Crossbreed Holsters ( I really like these in the summer time. They are made out of horse hide. Suppose to take sweat a lot better than cowhide)
    Milt Sparks holsters ( my everyday carry holsters. Very comfortable)

    Glock 26, Smith & Wesson M&P9, Ruger SR9. The one for the Glock 26 has served double duty with my Shield. All are horsehide. I really like this set up most for my shield http://firewoodhoardersclub.com/forums/threads/new-holster-and-mag-carrier-for-the-shield.10759/

    I have an Alien Gear for my M&P Shield. I'm Happy with it. Very comfortable once the leather is broken in. I don't have any other IWB holsters to compare it to though. I looked at other brands but the price was hard to pass up.

    The prices are decent. I ordered a 2.0 yesterday. Decent reviews and the videos kind of sell them. Short money for a full size IWB

    I've had white hat And alien gear. The alien gear to me is better. It also costs half as much. The white hat was comfy but the shell broke. The alien gear shell is about twice as thick.

    Thanks for the tip Cory. One of the YouTube videos also said that alien gear doesn't use kydex , any idea what they gorm fit with?

    I'm sure you'll like it. Should be comfortable right out of the box with the neoprene backing.

    I have purchased a couple of them for the price they are hard to beat. I don't find them to be very comfortable though. They use a thick kydex in addition to their tension adjustment makes them too thick for comfort IMHO. I also don't care for the threaded posts to adjust the ride height... Makes them harder to take on and off to me. Just my opinion though your milage may vary.

    Mailman delivered my new Alien Gear "Cloak Tuck 2.0" today. So far I like it, the reviews are right on, very comfortable and it hugs my body well. Setup for the G26

    Does anyone else have something like this ? If so, do you carry on the hip or just to the rear near the small of your back?

    I usually carry around the 4 to 5 o'clock position.
