Raven Concealment Systems announced today that its new VanGuard 2 Holster – Advanced Kit is now available.

The VanGuard 2 Advanced Kit is an upgrade to the original VanGuard 2 minimalist inside-the-waistband holster, which eliminates the bulk of traditional IWB holsters.

“The VG2 Advanced Kit’s inclusion of the RCS CLAW takes this system’s concealability to the next level, by leveraging the grip of the pistol close to the body, while still allowing for a clean, repeatable draw,” according to a RCS press release.

The VanGuard 2 Advanced Kit with the RCS CLAW can be equipped with either a tuckable strut with overhook or tuckable strut with soft loop, to allow you to choose the best belt interface system for your carry and mission type.

This combination is adjustable for ride-height and cant, is fully ambidextrous, and “is the ultimate in deep concealment technology when combined with our proprietary tuckable struts,” the release states.

The VG2 Advanced kit is not compatible with the Basic Kit Strut or the Lanyard option. VG2 CLAWs are only compatible with the model of VG2 shell specified. For example, a Glock VG2 CLAW "will NOT fit" an M&P VG2 holster shell, according to the release.

For safety, Raven stress the following point:

“Please be aware, we do not advise attempting to re-holster the weapon while the VG2 is inside your clothing. You should remove the VG2 and install it on the weapon outside of your waistband.”

The VG2 Advanced Kit is available for $45 and fits Gen 3/ 4 Glock models, except for the G42/43.
