GLOCK-43 - Last to market is not always in last place. 2015 Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 3.0 – IWB FOR YOUR GLOCK-43 By: Sal Palma it’s quite likely that you would be immediately expelled from your country club. The IWB holster fits between your trousers and under garment. A poorly designed holster will begin to chafe the wearer and discomfort is further aggravated by perspiration and/or exposed fasteners. My mantra in conceal carry handguns is buy a gun that fits your anatomy that’s reliable and use it with a competent holster. Fortunately there is no shortage of IWB holsters especially for Glock-43s, which we predict will be the hottest 9mm subcompact on the market. As I looked for holsters to test with the Glock, I decided to run with the BladeTech Kilpt for appendix carry and the Alien Gear Cloak Tuck, 3.0, the company’s latest IWB holster and subject of this review, for a 4’oclock carry. Four factors drove my decision to go with the Tuck 3.0: concealability, comfort, adjustability and retention. One of several considerations when I carry concealed is, in fact, concealment and the IWB holster is tailor made for that. For a variety of reasons, the last thing you want to do is walk around with a noticeable weapon print around your waist. It’s certainly not “très chique,” and To meet the comfort requirement, Alien Gear covers the back of the Tuck 3.0 with a soft and supple neoprene cloth ; dramatically reducing the number of fasteners that come in contact with your body. The Tuck 3.0 adapts to the body’s contour naturally, making this holster the most comfortable IWB I’ve worn. The Cloak Tuck 3.0 employs a stainless springsteel band that sits behind the Kydex shell and acts to improve Copyright 2015, Twobirds Flying Publication, All Rights Reserved GLOCK-43 - Last to market is not always in last place. 2015 retention by stiffening the holster. So, unlike a number of IWB holsters, the Tuck 3.0 shell can be adjusted for weapon tension. Alien Gear’s Cloak Tuck 3.0 is the perfect IWB holster for your favorite conceal carry weapon. The hybrid component of the Tuck 3.0 holster is a thermoplastic polymer instead of the usual leather arrangement. There are a couple of benefits to this approach. First, unlike leather, the polymer will not absorb moisture which is a foregone conclusion with IWB holsters – especially if you run “al fresco.” Second, the thermoplastic lends itself well to texturing. Alien Gear calls it Alien Skin. The Tuck 3.0’s surface texturing works against the weapon’s surface adding a degree of “grippiness” to the holster and improving retention. The Tuck 3.0 has excellent adjustability; it can be adjust for cant by simply changing the polymer clip positions. You can also change how high or low the weapon rides on your waist band using the same procedure. Concealability is excellent, as are comfort and adjustability. If that isn’t enough for you, try a 30 day test drive period. Still not enough? If you change your conceal carry pistol, Alien Gear will exchange your holster’s Kydex shell to match your new pistol. And, if that isn’t enough for you try Alien Gear’s Forever Warranty. -SP For more information visit: http://aliengearholsters.com/ Copyright 2015, Twobirds Flying Publication, All Rights Reserved
