The Holster For People Who Hate Holsters
About this video
Colion reviews the Raven Concealment Vanguard 2, a minimalist trigger guard holster he prefers for everyday carry. He explains why he favors low-profile holsters and breaks down the Vanguard’s design features, including its j-hook attachment and RCS claw that reduces printing. Colion describes how he uses it for appendix carry and with sweatpants, while noting some limitations in gun compatibility and maintenance.
Key takeaways
- Colion recommends the Vanguard 2 for carriers who want minimal bulk, emphasizing its trigger guard coverage and small footprint compared to traditional holsters
- According to Colion, the RCS claw feature significantly reduces printing by forcing the gun closer to the body, which he considers essential to the holster’s performance
- Colion notes the Vanguard works well for appendix carry and with sweatpants, though he cautions that retention screws may loosen over time and compatibility is limited mainly to Glocks and certain Smith & Wesson models
