The Ultimate Adaptable Carrying Solution for Glock 20/21: Alien Gear ShapeShift Core Carry Kit

For firearm owners who demand versatility, comfort, and uncompromising security, the search for the perfect carrying solution often leads to a multitude of specialized holsters. Imagine a single system that seamlessly transitions between your preferred daily carry methods, whether you prioritize deep concealment or quick access for range sessions. This is precisely the innovation that the Alien Gear ShapeShift Core Carry Kit for Glock 20/21 brings to the table. Designed with the discerning firearm enthusiast in mind, this comprehensive package is more than just a holster; it's a modular ecosystem engineered to adapt to your lifestyle, wardrobe, and operational needs.

Are you a Glock 20 or Glock 21 owner frequently asking questions like, "What's the most comfortable way to carry my firearm throughout the day?" or "How can I easily switch from concealed carry to open carry without buying multiple holsters?" Perhaps you're looking for the best tools for secure firearm storage when not in use, or a reliable way to mount your pistol in a vehicle. The Alien Gear ShapeShift Core Carry Kit directly addresses these challenges, offering a singular answer to a wide array of carrying and storage dilemmas. It's the ideal choice for anyone seeking unparalleled flexibility and a simplified approach to their everyday carry (EDC) setup.

Revolutionary Modularity: Four Ways to Carry, One Innovative System

At the heart of the Alien Gear ShapeShift Core Carry Kit lies its groundbreaking modularity. This isn't just a marketing term; it's the fundamental principle that allows you to transform your carrying experience in mere seconds. No tools, no fuss, just intuitive design that empowers you to adapt on the fly. Let's delve into the four primary carry configurations included in this essential pack:

1. Inside the Waistband (IWB) Holster: The Discreet Daily Driver

When discretion is paramount, the IWB configuration of the ShapeShift Core Carry Kit excels. This method places the firearm inside your waistband, typically between your body and your pants, allowing your clothing to completely conceal the weapon.

• Designed for Concealment: The IWB setup is optimized for maximum invisibility, making it ideal for everyday wear where maintaining a low profile is crucial. Whether you're at work, running errands, or simply navigating public spaces, this configuration ensures your Glock 20 or 21 remains out of sight.
• Enhanced Comfort: Alien Gear's commitment to comfort is evident in the IWB design. It features a breathable, flexible backing that conforms to your body, reducing pressure points and minimizing discomfort, even during extended wear. The custom-molded shell for the Glock 20/21 ensures a precise fit, eliminating any unnecessary bulk.
• Secure Retention: Despite its concealed nature, the IWB holster provides robust retention, securely holding your firearm in place while allowing for a smooth and consistent draw when needed. This is critical for both safety and readiness.
• Adjustability: The IWB configuration offers adjustable cant and ride height, allowing you to fine-tune the holster's position for optimal comfort and draw efficiency based on your body type and preferred carry location. This level of customization ensures a truly personal fit.

2. Appendix Carry (AIWB) Holster: Fast Access, Ultimate Discretion

A popular choice for many, especially those who prioritize rapid access and deep concealment, is the Appendix IWB (AIWB) carry. This positions the firearm inside the waistband at the front of the body, typically around the 1 o'clock or 2 o'clock position for right-handed shooters.

• Rapid Draw Capability: The AIWB position allows for one of the quickest draws, as the firearm is directly in front of your strong hand. This makes it a preferred option for situations where immediate access might be critical.
• Maximized Concealment: For many body types, AIWB offers superior concealment, particularly when wearing less baggy clothing. The natural curve of the body around the abdomen can help minimize printing.
• Enhanced Situational Awareness: With the firearm positioned centrally, some carriers find it easier to maintain awareness of their weapon's presence and security throughout the day.
• Comfort Considerations: While providing excellent concealment and access, appendix carry requires careful attention to comfort. The ShapeShift AIWB setup integrates features to mitigate discomfort, such as flexible materials and thoughtful design that reduces pressure on the groin area.

3. Outside the Waistband (OWB) Belt Slide Holster: Open Carry Confidence

For those occasions when open carry is desired or allowed, or for range use and training, the OWB belt slide configuration provides a stable and accessible solution. This method secures the firearm outside the waistband, typically on the strong side hip.

• Robust Stability: The belt slide attachment ensures a snug fit against the body, distributing the weight of your Glock 20/21 evenly across your belt. This provides exceptional stability, preventing the firearm from flopping or shifting during movement.
• Comfort for Extended Wear: OWB carry is often favored for its inherent comfort, as the firearm is not pressed directly against the body. This makes it ideal for longer periods of wear, such as during outdoor activities, hiking, or when carrying a heavier firearm like the Glock 20/21.
• Easy Access: With the firearm positioned outside the waistband, drawing is often more straightforward and less restrictive, making it excellent for competitive shooting, training, or when quick, unhindered access is paramount.
• Professional Appearance: The OWB belt slide offers a clean, streamlined profile that looks professional and purposeful when open carrying.

4. Outside the Waistband (OWB) Paddle Holster: Quick On, Quick Off Convenience

The OWB paddle holster provides the ultimate in convenience for those who frequently don or doff their firearm. Unlike a belt slide that requires threading through belt loops, the paddle simply slides over the waistband and belt.

• Effortless Application and Removal: The primary advantage of the OWB paddle is its speed. It can be attached or removed in seconds without needing to unthread your belt, making it perfect for quick trips, range sessions, or when transitioning between different carrying scenarios.
• Strong Retention: Despite its ease of use, the ShapeShift paddle holster maintains a secure grip on your Glock 20/21, ensuring the firearm remains in place during normal activities.
• Versatile Positioning: The paddle design often allows for some adjustability in cant, letting you fine-tune the draw angle for optimal ergonomics.
• Ideal for Temporary Use: Whether you're heading to the range, a training course, or just need to temporarily secure your firearm for a specific task, the paddle holster offers the perfect blend of security and accessibility.

Beyond Carrying: The Bonus Holster Mount

The utility of the Alien Gear ShapeShift Core Carry Kit extends beyond personal wear with the inclusion of a bonus Holster Mount. This ingenious accessory significantly enhances the versatility of your ShapeShift system, allowing you to secure your Glock 20 or 21 in various locations.

• Vehicle Mount: Easily attach your ShapeShift holster to the interior of your vehicle, providing secure and accessible storage while driving. This ensures your firearm is within reach yet safely secured, preventing it from sliding around or becoming a projectile in an accident.
• Desk/Wall Mount: Transform any flat surface into a secure docking station for your firearm. Mount it under a desk, inside a safe, or on a wall for quick, convenient, and organized storage. This is particularly useful for home defense scenarios, allowing for rapid access to your Glock 20/21 when seconds count.
• Bedroom Security: Keep your firearm securely mounted by your bedside, ensuring it's always ready for immediate deployment in a home invasion scenario, yet safely retained to prevent accidental falls.

The Holster Mount ensures that your firearm is not just carried, but also responsibly and securely stored in critical areas, blending seamlessly into your environment while maintaining the highest level of readiness.
