Holsters- Overt, Covert, Crye Gunclip and Raven Vanguard 2

I have a pile of holsters that have been tried and discarded over the years. Starting with Fobus and Uncle Mikes plastic paddle holsters and finally moving to a Raven VG 2 AIWB for EDC. Below are a few of my favorites and holsters that are still in use.










The Tactical Tailor modular holsters are great for overt carry. Covered in PALS webbing and paired with MALICE clips, they work well on a belt or attached to a plate carrier. Thumb break retention on both models.

Standard:






And the latest version which allows room for a light. This was a recent gift and has not been mounted nor used yet






The Gunclip by Crye Precision is pretty cool. A Glock clips in and then a cover snaps shut, super secure even with the cover open. Takes a little getting used to as it uses a totally different draw stroke. The Gunclip can be worn on a belt or attached to PALS webbing on a battle belt or armor.








My favorite (2015) is the Raven Vanguard 2. It's a minimalist holster that snaps over the trigger guard and clips to your belt. Worn AIWB for super fast draw. Note: I remove the VG2 prior to re-holstering. It only takes a second and is much safer than trying to holster with it inside your waistband. I wear at 12:30 but I believe it can be worn as far back as 4:00.












What are you using?

 

My Shoulder Rig, with my 9mm Belgian Browning HIPower.... When I need to Carry, Open or Concealed, this has been my standard, for 30+ Years......

 

Nothing wrong with that TM. I have leather too but have found nylon and plastic to work well for my needs. I don't really have any dress holsters anymore, only tools

 

I made my own IWB Crossbreed holster.
