OTG MKII OWB RTI holster review

This review was made possible by a recommendation from MGWS. So first things first many thanks for the suggestion!! Also this holster arrived within 10 days of ordering which vastly surpassed my expectations (thank you to OTG for the amazing turnaround time!!) My problem started with trying to find a RTI compatible holster that would work with my VP9. G-Code has unfortunately not yet made a holster specifically for the VP9 and I was not willing to risk getting one for the P30 and hoping for a good fit. OTG was suggested as a holster that may work. In mid 2012 OTG started to make their holsters compatible with G-Codes RTI system and provided a viable alternative to G-Code holsters for use with the RTI system.

With several recommendations my search began on the OTG website in haste. After perusing the website the holster that fit the bill was the MKII OWB. The website is well thought out and displays the options that you select as you go which provides a great visual of the final product. To try some Kryptek (the latest flavor of unobtanium camo on the market) I decided to go with the highlander pattern. This holster is to be used on my VTAC brokos belt with my G-Code RTI wheel.

As you can see the Brokos belt is in multicam and for those interested you can contrast the multicam with the kryptek highlander. The Kryptek pattern does a good job in the local vegetation. That being said there is a difference in application between the G-Code holster with the tactical multicam fuzz and the OTG which has the pattern applied to the outside.

The RTI attachment fits and works perfectly with the G-Code RTI wheel. This was the first aspect of the holster that I tested and it passed with aplomb.

When contrasted with the G-Code there is a difference in the thickness of the kydex used. My micrometer shows the G-Code at ~.13" with the OTG at ~.08".

With that being said the OTG is as thick as my Raven Concealment and Bravo Concealment holsters and does not have an issue with strength. There are two screws used to adjust the holster to your desired tension. I have run with the holster on for several miles, run drills and have not had an issue with retention. The holster is of great quality and with the super fast shipping it will be the first of many orders from OTG.

I tried out OTG pretty early after they started and was less than satisfied so I decided to never again buy any of their products (think I documented it on here too). Fast forward a few years and I was desperately trying to find an RTI and DG switch compatible holster that could arrive very quickly and they were the only option. Decided to try them again and was much more satisfied. I used their holster for a 2-day with Mike Pannone and it worked just like it should have. Until Safariland starts making holsters that are fully compatible with DG switches, these are the only ones that really fit all of my criteria in an ideal overt holster. It’d be cool if they used legit Multicam, but that’s pretty minor. Glad to see you like yours.

Good to hear you like it. OTG and JM are my go to kydex so far.

I won a facebook contest with them a few years ago for one of their Sidewinder holsters. I wanted one for a PPQ, and they didn’t offer it, so I bought a blue gun and sent it to them to keep (you’re welcome if you’ve ordered a PPQ holster from them). I’ve loved the holster so far and ordered one for my wife’s shield. I also have a couple mag holders from them that are good to go.

OTG makes great stuff. Rob Tran is a stand up gent as well.
