Picked up one of these for $20 plus tax.
What’s the difference between this and the Raven Concealment Vanguard? 
Looks good. FWIW, a few folks including myself were making that style minimalist holster for friends locally well before the RCS version hit the market. Not knocking their design, just pointing out that it wasn’t a new concept.
Needs more belt loop.
This looks RIGHT ON to me.
Any drawbacks or safety concerns with this type holster?
Any re-holtering issues? Ill wait for some replies…but I think Ill pop on one of these, if no serious issues are known.
How hard is that to re-holster? It looks like you would have to take it out each time. I run hundreds of presentation drills and need an easy re-holster.
I have been looking around for something like this for my wife to purse cary.
Looks interesting. Please post a pic from above looking down at the pistol holstered and in the waist so we can see how well the pistol butt is tucked in.
Thanks
This is a bit harder to doff than a soft belt loop. Hence inferior to vanguard.
By the looks of it, the loop vs clip configuration.
Depending on the user, there might be a sense of being top heavy (loaded magazine).
Talking with the sales representative, the holster was designed for draw only, not to be re-holstered. You can re-holster it, but its easier to remove the holster place on glock and replace in pants.
Probably not gonna work for your application.
I’ve used this holster to carry in my backpack and laptop bag.
I ordered one last Tuesday. No word on shipping or anything of the sort.
I’ve had a Dale Fricke Zach holster for a year that is made for that type of use.
I bought one of these for a Glock. Fits all Glocks, I carry a 19. I carried AIWB tonight in the yard (don’t laugh, I have an acre, black bears were 10 yards fom my daughter’s swingset two weeks ago and there’s piles of bear scat in my yard where it meets the forest).
So far, I’m loving the convenience. However, this is strictly a grab and go sort of holster, well suited for those that have to disarm for work and then rearm later. It does not take the place of my Dark Star Gear stuff. To be fair, it wasn’t intended to and the price is more than reasonable. I would like to see more a "lip"curling around the belt and if there’s a way for the holster to tuck the butt in of my G19 more, that would be gravy. You see, a proper AIWB tucks the gun flat against you. Many of the AIWB naysayers haven’t tried a proper AIWB holster.
If anyone wants pics, I’ll take some. I’m going to wear it tomorrow morning, hiking with a fairly light pack and a 30lb daughter who likes to ride on my shoulders for miles. If you see such a pair in the Shenandoahs, escorted by a Belgian Mal, introduce yourself!
So how is the reholstering operation? Good, bad, other?
Nonexistent. Take the holster off your belt, reinsert pistol, reattach holster to belt.
This holster does not tuck the butt of a G19 closely enough against the body for proper concealment in my opinion. I have a very high personal standard for concealment and this doesn’t meet it. I think it would probably be alright with say a G26 sized handgun with a shorter grip.
Thanks for that analysis. The high center of gravity on Glock 19’s compared to the slide length has always made it tough to roll the grip in.
That helps my decision making.
I think for a compact or full sized gun, that strong side carry works better for this holster than AIWB. Of course, a small single stack like the Walther PPS or S&W Shield would be money in this holster, regardless of position.

Im considering this holster for a G17. Your thoughts on how well this holster would work for the G17. Would it tuck in the larger gun better, or worse, than a 19?
Worse. I’d get a purpose built AIWB holster.
