I like Alien Gear myself. Bought one for my G19 and it's pretty comfortable. The kydex is replaceable, so I'm ordering one for my Shield so I can start carrying it.

I got an Alien Gear for my 9mm Shield and love it. I didn't think this would be possible, but it is more comfortable than the CrossBreed Supertuck that I have for my Glock 26. The leather and kydex both are heavier than the Supertuck, which probably is why it is more comfortable. I love it and would definitely buy another one.
The only down side is the wait. I had to wait almost 3 weeks for it to come in after ordering it. Not a real big deal to me, I waited 5 weeks to get the Suertuck after I ordered it several years ago. They're good holsters and, as long as you don't need it right now, it is worth the wait. Bub75 |

I was looking at Crossbreed and Old Faithful, but now definitely throwing Alien Gear into the mix. How would you guys rank those?

I'm 6' 5" 235 and I have the Crossbreed Supertuck. I like it a lot and I got mine in two weeks about a Month ago. I have a friend who likes his Alien Gear but I have not tried his, they are less expensive I think.

I like this one from Foxx Holsters.
Smaller because it only has one belt clip but that makes it a tad thicker. http://foxxholsters.onlybusiness.com/OnlineCatalog/Little_FoxX__for_Smith___Wesson-details.aspx |

I've got a Desantis Intruder. Comfortable and easily concealable even in a light t-shirt.

Another vote for Foxx Holsters. I have been using their Foxx Trapp kydex IWB for about 2 weeks now for my Shield. No added bulk, easy to take on and off and $44 makes it worth looking at. Fast free shipping too.
You can't go wrong with any of the suggestions given so far. |

I have the Comp-Tac Minotaur MTAC for my Shield. It's very comfortable, though it's pretty pricy.

Pulled the trigger on the Alien Gear. For $37 amd with the reviews and warranty, I figured I couldn't go wrong.

I've been wearing mine daily for several weeks now and really like it. Easily the most comfortable holster I've ever worn, more comfortable even than my CrossBreed Supertuck. They aren't cheap, they are inexpensive. There is a definite difference between the two. I think you'll like it. Bub75 |

It's crqzy they cost 1/2 as much as Crossbreed, but rate just as equally high. |

Take a close look at Galco's Trident (?) ky-dx offering, pretty slick IMO.
On the other hand M. Sparks is making the VM II for Shields if you want to go whole hog. |

I'm using an inexpensive DeSantis SOF Tuck to carry mine and it does a fine job. Very comfortable and the price was great. I don't see any reason to go with a hybrid when something this small works so well, but that's just MHO.

I bought a gcode but am still waiting for it to be made.
In the meantime I bought a DeSantis Pro Stealth which seems to work okay for now. I've carried the super tuck with an Ultra Carry in the past and loved it. Can't go wrong there. ETA: That Alien Gear doesn't look bad. Cheap too, with a shell trade in if you change guns. |

I bought a Foxx IWB holster and have been pleased with it. It is fairly inexpensive and was delivered within a week.
I'd recommend it. |

I carry with a bianchi, model 100, size that fits the glock 26/27. (10T?) the gun is slightly snug at the trigger guard but that stretched after a day or 2 and it's a remarkably good fit now. simple and not to much $. Also makes me think that other leather/non kydex for the glock compacts would work o.k.
