    If you need a reason not to use Alien Gear............

    You don't, because the product is complete shite, but here's one if you need it.

    So you have a human bullet sponge whose bloodstream is filled with PCP, aka horse tranquilizer. And the oblivious holster maker has probably never had to "rassle" with someone in that state. They will not stop.

    Just peachy. And their holsters suck anyway.

    The CEO has made a statement

    Earlier today an employee made a post asking if it was ever ok for a police officer to shoot someone 45 times.

    I am very sorry to all those offended by our post. Furthermore, I am sorry for the non-apology that was issued shortly thereafter.

    I haven't seen the video and have no opinion on the matter. It was one employee’s opinion framed as a rhetorical question and is not an opinion shared by me or this company. She is new here and it's my fault that we didn't spend more time training her on the difference between her opinions and those of our company.

    Thomas Tedder, CEO
    I'll find the source later, but check their facebook page for it, I think it was there.

    As I've said before guys, before you light the torches and get the forks, let all the information come out.

    also, I hope said person is now a FORMER employee.

    I'm pretty sure the video was the same as what was discussed by several LE members here, where they criticized multiple things that looked terribly wrong in the whole incident, starting from how the pursuit was conducted, to how many times the suspect was shot after he looked down and out, to the fact that citizens were downrange of where the bullets were flying. Not a LE expert myself, but based on their discussion, it sure seemed like a cluster and a highly unprofessional and unsafe way to conduct police work.

    “A reasonable and prudent person follows a police officer’s orders; Angry people sometimes show reluctance, but is it ever okay to shoot someone 45 times?”
    To answer Alien Gear's question: yes you dipshits, yes it is. Sometimes we use autocannons too, just to grind them into dust.

    It seems plausible that a snowflake got hired there and went off the reservation.

    I don't expect that this cost them any sales with PF members since I doubt anyone here would use that junk.

    I got good advice here on p-f to avoid purchasing an AG holster earlier this year.

    Not to bash on their products, but elsewhere when I see AG discussed, it seems to be associated with those newer to shooting.

    The fact a special snowflake was allowed to speak on behalf of the company on social media also does not reflect well on the CEO's understanding of the concept of brand management.

    Added to this, the at best ill informed personal opinion by said special snowflake pretty much terminates any positive sense I might have of Alien Gear and/or their current or future products,

    I did buy two of their holsters while ago. One of the backings cracked. Still useable but weakened. Also one of the clips bent. And they only made shells for the k frame S&W 2" and 5" not the 4" I wanted to carry. They did say if I ruined the 5" she'll they would replace it. Still have the two holsters. Never use them.
