Alien Gear Holsters offers the hybrid Cloak Tuck 3.0 for a variety of semi-autos and revolvers. The rig’s belt clips are adjustable for cant and height and can fit belts up to 1.75 inches wide, letting you customize your this comfortable yet rugged IWB carry system to suit your needs.

BlackHawk TecGrip holsters — The new TecGrip pocket holster from BlackHawk is available in four different sizes to fit revolvers and semi-autos.

Blade-Tech Signature OWB holsters — Blade-Tech uses a proprietary blend of super-tough polymers to construct the Signature OWB holster.

Right- and left-handed configurations of the Stingray are available for many gun models.

Clinger Atom holsters — The compact Atom rig from Clinger Holsters is made of Kydex with a smooth or carbon-fiber finish, and users can adjust the ride height to four different positions, so you can let your pistol ride low or high for more of a grip.

The retention is adjustable via a screw.

The shooter presses the thumb retention/release towards their body to draw the pistol. With a little practice, you can hit the thumb release and draw the pistol from the holster in one fluid movement.

FAB Defense Scorpus holsters — The injection-molded Scorpus holster is now available for 1911-platform pistols in Level 1 and Level 2 variants. Level 1 holsters feature a two-point, spring-based retention system for a fast draw yet secure carry.
