What is the ShapeShift Core Carry Pack and Who Is It For?

It's the ideal solution for:

• Everyday Carry (EDC) enthusiasts: Who demand flexibility without sacrificing security or comfort.

This foundational pack addresses common frustrations like needing multiple holsters for different situations, or compromising on comfort for the sake of concealment. It solves the problem of a "one-size-fits-all" approach by offering a truly adaptable "one-system-fits-all-methods" solution.

Unlocking Unprecedented Versatility: Four Core Carry Methods in One Pack

The true brilliance of the ShapeShift Core Carry Pack lies in its ability to transform effortlessly, providing four distinct and highly functional carry options from a single, integrated system. This modularity ensures that whether you're at work, hitting the gym, or enjoying a casual outing, your Springfield XDS Mod 2 3.3" is carried securely and comfortably.

1. Inside-the-Waistband (IWB) Carry: Discreet and Comfortable Concealment

The IWB configuration is a cornerstone of concealed carry, and the ShapeShift system elevates it to new levels of comfort and discretion. By positioning the holster between your body and your pants, the IWB setup offers superior concealment, making your Springfield XDS Mod 2 3.3" virtually undetectable.

• How it Works: The ShapeShift IWB shell seamlessly integrates with a comfortable, breathable base. This base typically features a durable, moisture-wicking neoprene layer against your skin, providing a soft barrier that prevents rubbing and irritation. The core material ensures structural integrity while allowing for natural body movement. Adjustable cant and ride height allow you to fine-tune the holster's position for optimal draw speed and comfort.
• Benefits:
  • Maximum Concealment: Ideal for professional environments or situations where discretion is paramount.
  • Exceptional Comfort: The innovative backer material molds to your body over time, distributing the weight evenly and preventing pressure points.
  • Secure Retention: Passive retention ensures your firearm remains securely in place during movement, while allowing for a smooth, consistent draw.
  • Breathability: Advanced materials prevent sweat buildup, keeping you dry and comfortable even during extended wear.
• Common Questions Answered:
  • "Is IWB carry truly comfortable for a full day?" With the ShapeShift's flexible, breathable backer, many users report forgetting they're even wearing it.
  • "Will it print through my clothes?" Its slim profile and adaptable design minimize printing, especially when combined with appropriate attire.

2. Appendix Carry (AIWB): Quick Access and Modern Concealment

Appendix carry, positioned at the front of the body (typically around 1 o'clock for right-handers), has gained immense popularity for its rapid accessibility and intuitive nature. The ShapeShift Core Carry Pack fully supports this method, optimizing it for comfort and safety.

• How it Works: Similar to the IWB configuration, the appendix carry setup utilizes a compact, contoured shell. Its design is specifically refined to conform to the curvature of the body at the front, minimizing bulk. Retention is critical here, ensuring the firearm stays secure while allowing for a smooth, upward draw.
• Benefits:
  • Rapid Draw Speed: The firearm is directly in front, allowing for the fastest possible access in a critical situation.
  • Enhanced Situational Awareness: Easily monitor your firearm, especially in crowded environments.
  • Comfort while Seated: Many find appendix carry more comfortable than hip-based IWB for prolonged sitting.
  • Deep Concealment: When paired with the right clothing, appendix carry can offer excellent concealment even for larger firearms.
• Common Questions Answered:
  • "Is appendix carry safe?" Alien Gear prioritizes safety with secure retention and robust construction, ensuring the trigger guard is fully covered. Proper training and responsible handling are always paramount.
  • "Is it uncomfortable when bending or sitting?" The ShapeShift's thoughtful design and flexible materials minimize discomfort, adapting to your body's movements.

3. Outside-the-Waistband (OWB) Belt Slide: Classic Open Carry and Range Use

For situations where concealment isn't necessary, or for activities like range training and outdoor recreation, the OWB belt slide offers robust security and comfortable open carry.

• How it Works: The ShapeShift OWB shell attaches securely to your belt via a durable belt slide attachment. This configuration keeps the firearm close to the body, preventing snagging while maintaining a high level of comfort and accessibility. The quick-detach mechanism allows for rapid transitions from concealed to open carry.
• Benefits:
  • Easy Accessibility: Unobstructed draw for quick presentation of your Springfield XDS Mod 2 3.3".
  • Superior Comfort for Open Carry: Spreads the firearm's weight across a larger area of the belt, reducing pressure points.
  • Ideal for Range and Training: Perfect for practice sessions where rapid drawing and re-holstering are frequent.
  • Enhanced Retention: Often features adjustable retention to fine-tune the draw resistance.
• Common Questions Answered:
  • "Is OWB carry practical for daily use?" While primarily for open carry, its quick accessibility makes it ideal for tasks that don't require concealment.
  • "Will my firearm shift or flop around?" The snug belt slide design holds your Springfield XDS Mod 2 3.3" firmly in place, minimizing movement.

4. Outside-the-Waistband (OWB) Paddle Holster: Convenience and Quick On/Off

The OWB paddle holster offers the ultimate in convenience, allowing for rapid attachment and removal without needing to unthread your belt. This makes it perfect for situations where you might need to quickly don or doff your firearm.

• How it Works: The ShapeShift OWB shell connects to a sturdy paddle attachment that slips over your waistband and belt. The paddle design incorporates a secure hook that grabs onto the belt, preventing the holster from being easily pulled off, while still allowing for quick removal when desired.
• Benefits:
  • Maximum Convenience: Effortless to put on and take off, making it ideal for varying carry needs throughout the day.
  • Solid Retention: Despite its convenience, the paddle design ensures your Springfield XDS Mod 2 3.3" remains securely holstered.
  • Adaptable for Different Outfits: Easily transferable between different pairs of pants or belts.
  • Comfortable for Standing/Walking: The paddle design distributes weight effectively, promoting comfort during active use.
• Common Questions Answered:
  • "Is a paddle holster secure enough?" The ShapeShift paddle features a robust design that provides surprising stability and retention, making it a reliable choice for active use.
  • "Can I conceal a paddle holster?" While generally an open carry option, a loose-fitting jacket or shirt can often conceal it effectively.

The Bonus Holster Mount: Expanding Your Carry Horizon

Beyond personal wear, the ShapeShift Core Carry Pack includes a versatile Holster Mount. This innovative accessory transforms your Alien Gear holster into a static storage or quick-access solution for a multitude of environments.

• Applications:
  • Vehicle Mount: Secure your Springfield XDS Mod 2 3.3" under the dashboard, in the center console, or any accessible flat surface in your car for rapid access while driving.
  • Bedside Mount: Attach it to a nightstand, headboard, or inside a drawer for quick, secure access for home defense.
  • Desk Mount: Keep your firearm safely yet readily available at your workstation.
  • Wall Mount: Create a designated, secure spot for your firearm in a gun safe or discreet location.
• Ease of Use: The Holster Mount leverages the quick-release functionality of the ShapeShift system, allowing you to attach or detach your holster in mere seconds. This provides an unparalleled level of utility, bridging the gap between personal carry and static storage.
• Security: When mounted, the firearm remains securely retained in the holster, preventing accidental dislodgement while ensuring immediate availability when needed.

• Premium Materials: Alien Gear Holsters utilizes a blend of advanced materials to achieve durability, comfort, and performance:
  • High-Impact Polymer: The core of the holster shells is crafted from a durable, custom-blended polymer that withstands extreme conditions, resisting impact, heat, and moisture. This ensures long-term reliability and protection for your firearm.
  • Neoprene Backer: For IWB and Appendix configurations, the multi-layer backer features a soft, breathable neoprene fabric against the skin. This material wicks away moisture, preventing sweat buildup and irritation, even during prolonged wear in warm climates.
  • Spring Steel Core: Embedded within the backer is a layer of spring steel, providing a robust, flexible frame that conforms to your body while maintaining structural integrity and preventing the holster from collapsing after drawing your firearm.
  • Stainless Steel Hardware: All fasteners and critical connection points are made from high-grade stainless steel, ensuring corrosion resistance and long-lasting durability.
• Adjustable Retention and Cant: The ShapeShift system offers user-adjustable retention, allowing you to fine-tune the draw resistance to your preference. Similarly, cant (the angle of the firearm) and ride height can be adjusted, empowering you to achieve the perfect draw stroke and concealment profile.
• Built for Real-World Use: Alien Gear Holsters are designed and tested to meet the rigorous demands of everyday carry. They withstand constant motion, environmental exposure, and the critical need for reliable performance when it matters most.
