Raven Concealment VanGuard 2 – Standard Kit (Minimalist IWB Holster)

The Raven Concealment VanGuard 2 is a minimalist IWB holster molded for the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield in black (Raven Concealment part no. VG2MPSHBKOH). Unlike a traditional IWB holster, it covers only the trigger guard, eliminating the bulk of a full holster body while still providing real safety compared to simply tucking the pistol into the waistband. Used alone, it works as a trigger guard cover for safe storage and transport, letting the slide cycle and magazine release without any risk of a negligent discharge. Added to the static-line tether, it supports on-body or off-body carry, and with the strut and soft-loop assembly attached it becomes a complete, adjustable IWB holster.
