A few weeks ago I was setting up for the Valley Forge Gun Show when this tall skinny red headed guy walks up to the table. He says “George?” And I say “yeah”. He goes on to introduce himself as Mike of Raven Concealment.

I had never heard of them but acted polite of course. We spoke for a while and then the crowd started coming in. He had told me to stop by and look at their holsters. I kind of shrugged it off. Seems everyone these days thinks they can do kydex.

Over the weekend I spent more time talking to Mike about a bunch of things that anyone reading this would find interesting. When I left the show it was with a Raven Concealment Belt Holster tossed in the Bag of Evil. My thought was what the hell, I’ll give it a shot.

Last weekend while helping out with a pistol course I wore the Raven rig. The first thing that I noticed was how well it fit against the body. I can only describe it as wearing a wide ACE bandage around your waist and sliding a gun in it. Mike tells me this is accomplished by Raven using a pancake design instead of a fold over.

Something else I like is the fact that the holster features a sweat guard on the inside of the holster normally found on IWB to keep the entire inside of the gun separated from your body. This sweat guard aides in reholstering since when the muzzle hits the sweat guard that funnels it into the holster.

After running the Raven rig through its paces during the course I have decided it will replace my other Glock 19 belt holsters. Now I just have to wait for them to come out with their IWB model made for appendix carry since it is my favorite carry position.

Several people in the class were wearing Raven rigs that they had picked up at the show or ordered. Everyone loved them. IMHO these are the next big thing in holters.

Call Mike and tell him that I sent you.
