Overview of the Alien Gear Roswell IWB Holster | RIW
The Alien Gear Roswell IWB Holster is a slim, injection-molded polymer concealed carry holster built for appendix or strong side carry. This listing covers the Roswell RIW series for the Glock 19, Glock 19X, Sig P365, Sig P365 XL LIMA, Springfield Hellcat, Springfield XD-S, and Springfield XD Mod.2, all in right-hand draw.
A bulky holster prints under a T-shirt and digs into your side by noon. The Roswell keeps a thin profile, and the included claw and wedge pull the grip in tight to your body, so a plainclothes officer or licensed civilian carrier stays concealed all day.
Optic Protection Built In
Every variant except the XD Mod.2 includes an MRDS hood that covers your micro red dot, keeping the lens clean and the optic from digging in when you sit.

Key Features of the Alien Gear Roswell IWB Holster
-
Injection-molded polymer shell: Alien Gear states the Roswell material is 40% more durable, weighs 20% less, and is 80% more heat resistant than Kydex wrap or molded holsters.
-
Model-specific fit: each shell is molded for one pistol for a consistent, repeatable draw.
-
MRDS hood: a molded hood covers a micro red dot sight on hooded (R1) variants instead of leaving a plain optic cutout.
-
Appendix carry kit: the included claw and wedge rotate the grip toward your body to reduce printing.
-
Adjustable cant and ride height: set the angle and depth for appendix or strong side carry.
-
Adjustable retention: a retention screw on the shell lets you tune how firmly the holster grips the pistol.
-
Infidel belt clip: 1.5 inch or 1.75 inch clip, matched to the variant you choose.
-
Warranty: backed by the Alien Gear Forever Warranty.

Compatibility
-
Fits: Glock 19, Glock 19X, Sig P365, Sig P365 XL LIMA, Springfield Hellcat, Springfield XD-S, and Springfield XD Mod.2. Alien Gear marks the Glock 19 shell for Glock 19 Gen 1 to 5 and Glock 23 Gen 1 to 4.
-
Optics: hooded (R1) variants accept and cover a micro red dot sight. The XD Mod.2 variant ships without a hood.
-
Belts: match the clip to your belt. A stiff 1.5 or 1.75 inch gun belt such as the Aker Leather Concealed Carry Gun Belt 1.5" B21 or the BLACKHAWK! Instructor's Gun Belt 1.75" keeps the holster stable.
-
Not compatible: left-hand draw, pistols not listed above, and pistols with a weapon-mounted light. For a light-equipped pistol, see the Alien Gear Photon Light-Bearing Holster. For outside the waistband carry, see the Alien Gear Roswell OWB Holster.
Intended Users
Plainclothes detectives and off-duty police officers use the Roswell IWB to carry a compact pistol under a shirt without printing. Licensed civilian concealed carriers choose it for everyday carry and self-defense with an optic-equipped pistol. Armed security officers in plain clothes and firearms instructors who teach appendix carry also rely on its adjustable cant and ride height.
