Re: AlienGear apparently doesn't like OC
Define Extreme?
My last (since kicked-to-the-curb) anti-2A friend used to love asking me stuff like "Oh, so if I can find/buy a fully-functional tank, I should be allowed to own it?"
My answer ("yes, and good luck with that") used to drive her nuts.
I probably count as "extreme" where 2A is concerned.
Let me be clear. IMHO, the 2nd is not about hunting, it's not about self-defense... It's about ensuring the populace has sufficient weaponry ("militia" grade) to ensure we can say "Oh no you dint!" to the gubmint and stand our ground. I know anti's love to cite the 'need for a militia' preamble as some sort of diminishing factor. Myself, I love the 'need for a well-armed militia' preamble. To me that says it exactly. We -exactly- are entitled to have military-grade weapons.

Re: AlienGear apparently doesn't like OC
I succumbed to the herd mentality on another message board a year or so ago where the membership probably was responsible for 83% of Alien Gear's annual sales, and bought one of these for a SIG P228:
In practice I found it stiff and bulky and it felt as if I was wearing a prosthesis of some sort. There was no advantage or improvement in comfort over the Supertuk I had been using, and in retrospect I wonder why I expected the AG to be better. So it gathers dust beside the Supertuk. And both remind me that I don't like Kydex. Great material in theory, "meh" in practice. It's appeal IMO is mainly to those entrepreneurs who have nade businesses around Kydex holster manufacture and sale. Especially point-of-sale manufacture, as at some of the larger gun shows. It works great for them; those manufacturers can be making stock for popular models at a gun show in between sales and customer inquiries and not wasting time.
As for the blog piece, I consider it op-ed at best. My personal preference is CC because I prefer the stealth aspect, but I don't denigrate those who choose to OC.

Re: AlienGear apparently doesn't like OC
No problem, they both are solid choices. I gambled a little on my first one. I asked questions here about them, but bought the one for my CZ 82 without ever seeing the MCR. It ended up fitting me really well and I ordered a 2nd one for the LCR.
The belt makes all the difference for owb carry imho. Lots of good holsters out there, but even good ones can get uncomfortable with a crappy belt.

Re: AlienGear apparently doesn't like OC
Yeah, I carry other guns too, but for some reason the 82 keeps making a comeback. I shoot it well and it carries nicely. Lack of holster options is definitely a draw back. To come full circle, my iwb holster for the 82 is actually an alien gear. It's the original model with a shell for the Makarov. It's actually pretty comfortable to carry and fits it well. My only issue with it so far is that the screws continually come loose and I find I have to tighten them on a regular basis if I use it a lot. If I had it to do again, I'd probably order another from hh instead.
