The holster shell and connection design allows you to swap holster bases, with zero loss in security. The Core Carry Pack contains the necessary components for the most popular holster styles. Most people who carry regularly do so with one of four holster types, and that's what the Core Carry Pack gives you. ShapeShift 4.0 IWB Holster. A traditional winged IWB holster with a breathable neoprene backing, perfect for comfortable concealed carry. ShapeShift Appendix Carry Holster. A minimalist IWB holster with a single belt clip, and a streamlined version of the 4.0's holster base. ShapeShift Belt Slide OWB Holster. A high-riding belt holster, which can be worn openly or easily concealed. ShapeShift Paddle Holster OWB. An ultra-durable OWB with swappable belt attachments and active retention. Innovative Modular Holster Design The ShapeShift system is the first modular holster design that allows for fast transition between holster styles that doesn't compromise on function or comfort in any way. The secret is in the holster shell, which is designed to lock into place with our docking plate or with a second full-length shell. This creates a secure connection between the shell and the backing system so you can carry safely. The holster shell is locked in place with the locking tabs and twist locks in the Core Carry Pack. Once locked in place, you have a concealed carry holster more solid than most other hybrid or even Kydex designs on the market today. Advanced Materials To create a better holster, we had to update the materials. Instead of leather and typical plastics, we spent years finding stronger, lighter and better materials than what is typically used in holster making. The ShapeShift shell is a proprietary injection-molded polymer, of nearly the same composition of the polymers used to make many firearms. It resists heat, impact, twisting and other stresses to a far greater degree than typical composites. This makes the Core Carry Pack stronger. We also added our new CoolVent neoprene, a breathable and moisture-wicking ventilated neoprene cushioning fabric that keeps you cooler and drier than other fabrics. Our holster bases are also reinforced with layers of woven ballistic nylon and spring steel, creating a solid base for reliable drawing and reholstering cycles. Vary How You Carry Years of experience as well as decades of information from people who carry everyday has informed us of what kind of holsters people are most likely to use. What types of concealed carry holster they use. The features they want.The Core Carry Pack includes the four most popular types of holster that people use every day. Additional holster types are available, of course, with the ShapeShift system as Expansion Packs, in case you wanted to add more. Most people conceal and carry with an IWB holster or a high-riding OWB holster. The Core Carry Pack includes a traditional winged IWB holster base, and a slimmer IWB base for use in the appendix position or anywhere else on the waistline, as well as a high-ride belt slide. The Core Carry Pack also includes an OWB holster design more suited to range days, competition or open carry, with your choice of paddle or belt slide attachment as well as active retention for the utmost in security. If you wanted all the holsters you're likely to use in one fell swoop, the Core Carry Pack is just that. Review: The BEST holster I have ever purchased...hands down. - I was SO excited when I purchased the Alien ShapeShift holster. The packaging was gorgeous. I have to be honest...I am not a direction reader. I was a little overwhelmed with the parts and pieces and how they all went together. But then by some stroke of magic...they had a link to a video on how to assemble the different variations. It is so easy. I mainly use it for the IWB (Inner Waist Band) configuration for concealment. I have asked many people if they could tell I was armed. Nobody knows. The quality of the material is TOP NOTCH. This is not cheep Chinese crap. I plan on buying another for a different handgun. Review: Perfect holster system - Amazing holster system, works perfectly for my Walther PPQ and I love the ability to switch from IWB to OWB in less than a minute. The flat mount was a nice touch too.

I have the PT111 aka G2C & bought the core kit. Now i can add compatible shells for my other pistol, like my Glock 22. Instead of buying here on Amazon, go to their website as they run sales often. You'll save money by b/c of the CV-19 stuff going on now they're lagging a bit on shipping time. It was worth the wait & savings. BTW I carry append IWB & the comfort is impeccable! Lifetime warranty & test try for 30 days! Can't beat it the deal out the product. I liked them so much I pitch the mag buckets, & other holsters not compatible fur the shape shift system like my 4 inch 1911. I'm being the drop leg rig for my G22 next! Happy holster buying! **Q: Will this fit my glock 19x ?** A: Only if you order the pack that is for the 19x. If Amazon does not have it, check with Alien Gear. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The BEST holster I have ever purchased...hands down. *by C***E on November 9, 2020* I was SO excited when I purchased the Alien ShapeShift holster.
