I'm waiting on my Raven Concealment Holster to arrive.

HEre is how I carry off-duty. I carry my Glocks and my P7 this way. If it isn't on my hip its at 1230. This is the Raven ACR for my P7...I love it.

I carry one of two guns - A Taurus Ultra Lite Model 85 .38 Special Snubbie with Crimson Trace Grips or a Kimber Ultra Carry II with Crimson Trace Grips.

Here are a couple of shots of how I carry them.

My Hk45 in a Raven Concealment Phantom holster. OWB and IWB pics provided. Normally I keep it condition 1 for HD(cocked and locked), but I will carry it decocked and locked. I have no issue removing the safety at speed. Unlike a 1911 I have no grip safety to prevent trigger movement.

I was neither here nor there about it until I tried practicing from it and using it.

I was a LITTLE worried that the mag would get in the way when drawing but I was surprised to find that I had no problem at all clearing the magazine when I drew my gun.

Secondly, I was worried that I wouldn't like the mag pouch and wouldn't be able to do quick mag changes... Also (surprisingly) not true.

First, see the direction the magazine is pointed? It's kind of "backwards" but you'll understand why after seeing the pictures...

When I perform a mag change I reach across my body and grip the magazine naturally...

That way, when I pull the magazine from the pouch it is in the perfect position in my hand to be inserted into my gun..

I HAVE put the magazine in the pouch the other way only to almost put the magazine in the gun backwards when performing a mag change while on the move and rapid firing at 10 yards. It was very embarrassing, especially when I ended up dropping the magazine and needlessly fumbling with the gun and the magazine, taking my eyes off of the target.

I am getting the exact same belt holster without the mag pouch, and going to use my spare mag pouch on my weak side at times, but I don't think I'm going to be getting rid of this holster set up for awhile.

I'm actually right on the fence as to deciding whether I like it more than the traditional mag pouch on the weak hand side.

I have found that cover garments can be a problem in drawing like they can be for everyone, but when I'm reaching across my body and into my shirt to retrieve my spare mag instead of reaching back and trying to push back a cover garment, my mag changes are smoother.

I do fine with both and I'm happy with both and that is why I'm on the fence as to which I would choose over the other.

This system is like any other. Once you get used to it, it works fine.

I would like that mag change on the 2 way gun range!

This worked for me at my job.

Tucker HF1, Para Ordnance Warthog and Comp-tac belt. I also have the Tucker Answer and I'll be using that once I get used to it. I had to bend the front tab connection to the leather backing so it would fit better to my body. I'm not sure I can tuck at work and not have the buldge noticeable, so that's why I carried like this now that I have my lifetime license :)

limatunes,

The holster is made by Blackhawk. I have one just like it.
