George- my 22-year-old sister purchased the ACR (for SigP250) after talking with Mike and Steve (Fisher) at the Raven booth. They recommended it for the "tactical" aspect, as well as they said women tend to find the method more comfortable. They even made hers with the belt clip closer to the holster body, as she's a very trim girl.

From what she's told me about it, she likes the holster overall. Fit and finish, like all Raven stuff, was excellent. She says concealment does require something more than just a clingy t-shirt. Now she is looking for a better belt, as the one she normally wears with it isn't the greatest.

As soon as they are caught up, I will be a Raven dealer. I use a Raven holster every single day!

For those who are interested here is the thought process behind us endorsing APEX carry and the ACR, glad everyone is digging them. No matter the tool you select the process has to be Selection, Carry, Deployment and Use. Too many great carry options fail as deployment options.

Very interesting. I have carried in this fashion off-duty since getting into this line of work. Your pluses are my pluses as well at more comfortable, conceals easier, and I can keep it protected better. It makes it harder for a gun grab, they cannot surprise you. To take it, they must go face to face. Thanks for the link to your site. Lots of interesting information.

Soon I will be shooting some video showing how much easier it is to deploy your pistol from APEX carry than from behind the hip. It will also show how your are very likely to land rounds in your opponents groin by using default targeting from the clinch.

Been there done that last year it was an eyeopener to many students.

I like the looks of the ACR rig. I've tried the Comp-Tac appendix carry holster, but I'm too squishy for it to be stable. I've tried a few others as well, including crossdraw IWB holsters in the appendix position. Good idea, but again most lack adequate stability for those squishy types among us. So far the best solution I've found has been a Comp-Tac CTAC because it has fore and aft belt loops and carry height and cant are ajustable.

I'd also like to remind us all that Bruce Nelson, inventor of the "Summer Special," wore his summer special in the appendix position.
