Raven Concealment VanGuard 2 Advanced Kit IWB Holster for M&P Shield 9mm/.40, Black

The Raven Concealment Systems VanGuard 2 Advanced Kit (brand part number VG2MPSHBKOHADV) is a black inside-the-waistband holster built for the M&P Shield 9mm/.40, upgrading the venerable VanGuard 2 minimalist holster with the RCS CLAW. Unlike a traditional IWB holster that encloses the whole pistol, the VG2 covers only the trigger guard, stripping away the bulk of a full holster while still giving you a real level of safety and security beyond simply tucking a pistol into the waistband. The included RCS CLAW pushes the grip in tight against the body, taking the system’s concealability a step further while still allowing a clean, repeatable draw. It is built for shooters who want the smallest possible IWB footprint without giving up a genuine trigger-guard-covering system.
