Raven Concealment Phantom for G19...WOW!
I have to say...this holster is excellent. Got a mag pouch and a OWB/IWB holster for my G19. The holster holds the gun so tightly against my body that I don't even need to carry it IWB and can easily use an XL T-shirt and go OWB. Just amazing!
Pictures below I highly recommend these...simply outstanding quality. The fit is very tight...very secure when holstered. Needs to be worked in a bit for the release but a firm tug and it's out. ![]() ![]()

I thought about trying one, but it's just soooooooo ugly.

looks mean jack when it's a concealment holster. I don't typically go around showing off my shiny new holster to everyone I meet. This isn't a fine watch or something.
![]() It fits tight, holds the gun close, releases fast, is thin as hell, and feels very durable when you handle it. Sure it's nice to have some leather, with shark or rayskin trim and when you wait a year to get it you get the "ooh's" and "ahh's" from the crowd. However, once you conceal your weapon looks go out the window. Plus I kinda like Kydex for it's no maintenance factor. The only thing I do to kydex is spray a very light coat of silicone on the inside and let it dry. Then it's gtg for a long time. Water resistant too. Honestly, this holster is as comfortable as my MTAC and maybe more so because the MTAC has a piece of leather that sticks down below the muzzle. That piece of material pushes up and drives the weapon into your side when you sit. It does for me anyway. This one is flat on the bottom with a wide support section so it doesn't move. That's my take on it. I like these holsters, but I'll admit they aren't for everyone, nothing is. I could never see shoving a 1911 into one of these. ![]()

Looks like my Scorpion in a way. I love my kydex next to my skin with my G27 or G19! I might give this one a good look. IWB/OWB? Interesting indeed! Thanks for posting!

I purchased a Raven holster for my G30. Quality of this holster is great. But for inside the waist the holster sets the gun too high above the waist line for me. I'll use this holster for a range holster.
I am not knocking the holster and I would recommend it to people who like their gun up a little higher than I like. |

One note, since this holster is so thin, and the gun sits so incredibly close to the body when worn IWB, the gun riding slightly higher is not an issue for me. WIth my MTAC I sometimes felt it flop a bit. This is for 2 reasons. 1) the Raven has a wide base that makes it stable. 2) the MTAC has a thicker material (leather) that pushes out and away from the body relying on your belt to hold it in.
