I have the Appendix (AIWB) AlienGear holster. I like it. I havenāt worked up the courage to wear it at the Appendix position yet. It is well made & comfortable.

Youāre talking specifically the Shapeshift holsters. They make more than the shapeshift systems.
Across the board for all their holsters āpoorly made, screws come outā is the biggest complaint.
I donāt have any shapeshift compatible firearms, but if I did, I probably still wouldnāt go with shapeshift simply because Iāve found the cloak tuck and cloak OWB to be the most comfortable, I like those so personal preference.
So again, I wasnāt speaking specifically about the Shapeshift system, you were. Thatās where the miscommunication came in.

I found mine very comfortable. But too bulky, and difficult to remove and put on without taking pants off, or while sitting in a car. Iāve been using single clip kydex, and although less comfortable, I got used to it quickly.

Not liking my holsters from a different company, for my revolver. Saw that Alien Gear came out with one for a revolver. If they make more models, in my caliber and or shoulder holsters for revolvers, Iāll definitely purchase, as Iāve read many good things about their holsters, particularly about their fit and comfort. Didnāt buy yet, the one time I called them, the rep was very professional and courteous. Canāt wait.

I got my Cloak Tuck 3.5 a few days before Christmas to replace the full-kydex holster that came with my Canik TP9 Elite SC. My 1st thought was āBoy, that thing is BIG!ā It is rather wide (compared to my other holster), but it is also flexible and wraps around things (my hip) quite nicely. I use it to carry at the 4 oāclock position.
My Canik is much bigger than my wifeās Glock G43X, but the Cloak Tuck distributes the weight around the belt so it doesnāt sag in 1 spot. It also prevents the front and back sights from digging into by butt and back, which caused bruising and pain if I carried all day.
I think it is a very comfortable holster, and have no problems carrying all day ā¦ even when driving in my car for hours.
I did have 1 screw come loose, but that is because I hadnāt used locktite yet, as the instructions recommended.

I have the Shapeshift system. Itās not the most comfortable, but itās adaptable and has a solution for just about every crazy mounting/concealment idea you can think of.

Is it hot where you live? I like a minimal mount primarily due to the heat here in NC.

I am in SC. New to CC so have only used since October. I wore a t shirt over a tank top with no problems. I will have to see what happens this summer though.
I will say I wore it while doing yard work and sweating and it didnāt bother me.

Iām in Ohio, so I havenāt had any major heat to contend with yet ā a couple days around 70, wearing shorts & light T-shirt. It did not get uncomfortable, even though I did some activities where I was sweating. The ventilated neoprene back does a pretty good job. Summer-time will tell, when we get that 80 - 90+ degrees, with high humidity.

Update: Iāve been using this Cloaktuck 3.5 for 7 months now ā to Florida, and in our Ohio heat and humidity (90+ at times, 100+ heat index). I have to say I am quite pleased.
Mowing grass, fishing, walking the beach - my shirt ends up soaked, but the vented neoprene on my holster is just slightly damp. It stays put and comfortable even directly against my skin for hours in that heat.

I have a Alien Gear IWB Gen2 to hold a Glock 19 on selected occasions. It fit perfect right from the box and is very comfortable. The only negative I have is the forward cant. Their newer design seem a bit too complex.

I have a cloak tuck 3.5 and live in SC. I love the holster but as mentioned by @Mike270 I wish it would let you adjust the cant more. It is great for carrying in the 4 or 5 oclock position a little harder on the 1 to 3 positions. You can still draw smoothly but cant can be awkward.
I find wearing a wife beater under a tshirt is more comfortable than tshirt with nothing else.
