Raven Concealment Vanguard 2

For the past couple months I have been carrying a Glock 19 gen 4. With so many holster options available, I wanted something as minimalistic as I could get. I had seen other people on Instagram and youtube who carried in a Raven Concealment Vanguard 2 and I was intrigued with the concept. It is as minimalistic as it gets.




As you can see it just covers the trigger guard. Don't be fooled by the lack of coverage, it still has great retention for such a small means of carrying. The fastening system is the "push the dot" soft loop and is very functional. Once I got use to the way it snaps (bottom in first then push the top) I could take it off and on with ease. The Vanguard 2 is ambidextrous, full adjustable for ride height and cant and optimized for appendix carry but can also be worn strong side to about your 4 O'clock for right handed shooters and your 8 O'clock for left handed shooters.

 The small hole at the base of the Vanguard 2 can be attached to the bottom of a car seat frame (I use paracord and a quick detach loop) for car carry. Just wedge it in between your seats or center console and draw when needed. it comes off clean and stays out of the way.

As you can see, the soft loop is attached to an arm that can be pulled away from the trigger guard. That is so you can tuck your shirt in behind it should you need to do so for work or any other situation. it is incredibly discreet and blends in well with black or brown clothing. 


Should you not want to use the soft loop, the Vanguard 2 also comes with a lanyard (or you can use paracord) and attach it to your belt loop and tuck the slack into your pants for a truly invisible carry rig.


For $34.99 and available for all Glock and M&P pistols, it is nearly half, if not more than half, the price of traditional kydex or molded holsters. Overall I am incredibly happy with this product and will continue to carry it everyday.
