Raven Vanguard 2 Holster for Glock 42/43 - Black Adjustable Retention

The Raven Vanguard 2 holster for Glock 42/43 is a minimalist inside-the-waistband (IWB) carry solution built for shooters who refuse to compromise between concealment and accessibility. Unlike full-coverage IWB holsters, the Vanguard 2 covers only the trigger guard—eliminating unnecessary bulk while maintaining the safety and retention you need for everyday carry. If you're tired of thick, printing holsters that eat up belt real estate, this is the answer.

The design is fully ambidextrous, so whether you're right or left-handed, the Vanguard 2 adapts to you. Adjustable retention keeps your Glock secure throughout the day, and the minimalist profile means you can carry appendix, strong side, or off-side without printing. The holster works with either a lanyard or belt clip attachment, giving you flexibility in how you deploy it—and removing it when you need to.

Raven Concealment Systems engineered this holster around a simple premise: carry only what you need, nothing you don't. The trigger-guard-only design isn't a compromise—it's a feature that forces purpose-built engineering and has earned a solid reputation among serious concealed-carry shooters. If you carry a subcompact 9mm daily and want a holster that disappears into your waistband, the Vanguard 2 delivers the minimalism without sacrificing retention or draw reliability.
