Raven Concealment Holsters - Check Them Out! ***Pictures*** - Page 3

The Raven guys are good people and are friends of INGO!

I'm looking forward to an ACR, do they make a less obvious belt loop set up, maybe j hooks or something? Office carry isn't easy with big black loops.

Yes, the raven guys have a number of different attachment methods. some are lower profile than others.

On the issue of adjustable retention, this was originally put on leather holsters to compensate for stretch of the leather. Basically correcting for a defect, not an added benefit.

A big advantage of kydex, if it's too tight, or too loose, just get out the old hair dryer and correct it. It's pretty simple, I've done it on a number of mine.

I think the reason a lot of people call the Raven gear big and bulky is because of the extra material they leave around the rivets. It makes the holster look very wide. If you've ever used a kydex holster cut really tight to the gun profile, you'll realize why that material is there. Without it, the constant draw and reholster causes cracks in the attachment areas.

Well I ordered a Phantom and some IWB hooks on Saturday. Today I got an update saying they are about 30 days deep in orders and will keep me updated. I really want to try this out OWB concealed.

Their standard quoted lead time is 30 days when they get backed up. The vast majority of orders go out much quicker.

That would be nice.

Got my holster today

I might put the IWB hooks on later but for now I'll carry it OWB

Nice retention and it feels real solid.

Happy with my purchase.

Has anyone tried the Appendix Carry Rig AKA the ACR. I worked with them on it and I am interested in hearing your thoughts.

Yes, I have 2. One for my Hk P7 and one for my G27. I love them both. I've carried there for years and this setup is the most stable I have seen. I bought a nice Beltman horse hide belt to carry the load and the ACR loves a good belt. I have pics of my wearing them on another thread but thre were some "haters" about my crotch shots

Got a link sir?
Pretty sure I won't be fond of your crotch shot, but I'd like to see the holster in use.
