Vanguard VG2 Naked Minimalist Tuckable Trigger Guard Holster | Inside Waistband IWB Appendix Conceal Carry

- Retention is good. It's hard to imagine this coming loose under any normal activity. Maybe leave your pistol at home if you're running an obstacle race.- Comfort is excellent. This is obviously going to vary based on your individual shape and choice of firearm. The holster is small, light and molded well with no sharp edges or extra material. If you can't appendix-carry comfortably, it won't be this holster's fault.- Adjustability is minimal, but adequate. There's only so much you can do without adding bulk or complexity. You can adjust the ride-height and cant just a bit. It was enough for me. Again, your body shape and choice of gun will determine exactly where you will need it to ride to be comfortable and accessible. This worked well for me.- Safety is more than adequate, if the user does their part. Seriously, you're sticking a gun down your pants. Do your homework and don't get lazy. First of all, don't re-holster your loaded gun while this holster is on your belt. It's a holster, not a home vasectomy kit. Take it off, snap it on the gun, make sure it's fully seated, then put the holster back on. It only take a few seconds. Second, check it over and try it out. Snap it on and make sure it fits your gun well. Wear it around for a day or two with a full mag (for the weight) but an empty chamber. Make sure this works well for your situation, your gun, your body, your movements. Mine fit me and my gun (43X) perfectly, but don't remove yourself from the gene pool because a plastic mold was off by a few thousandths of an inch.As for my review's title, why is this a "game-changer"? Because the best gun is the one you have with you. I own many fine handguns, but have only carried a few with any regularity. Most of my "better" handguns, which I prefer at the range, are not really practical for me to carry. If you're a big guy who always wears an overshirt or coat and are comfortable carrying around a full-sized 1911 cocked and locked, well, good for you. Because I prefer a small, light handgun for daily carry and like to carry appendix, I've spent the last several years carrying a Kel-Tec PF9. Small, light, comfortable and easy to carry with a factory belt-clip. And because of the gawd-awful trigger, I had no qualms about stuffing it down my pants sans holster. But if I'm honest, it's not a fun gun to shoot and I don't shoot it particularly well. In recent years Glock and some others have developed autos that fit the size, weight and general comfort requirements for me to carry, but full holsters ruined the experience for me and with the easily deployed trigger systems on these guns, I wan not about to stick them in my drawers uncovered. This holster completed the package. I now have a fast, smooth gun with a bit more capacity that I can actually shoot well tucked in my waist. Now we'll see if the Glock handles the years of sweat, grit and lint as well as the now retired Kel-Tec did.

It does one thing only. Minimalist concealed carry- but does it *exceptionally* well. I love mine, and it's comfortable because it doesn't add bulk like many holster systems do. In my opinion, if you conceal carry every day, this is a very useful second purchase option. You're going to need a regular holster for range days. (more on why below)I carry a Sig p320 X compact under a t-shirt in the summer, at 3-4 o clock. It doesn't print much or at all under a loose t-shirt, and definitely doesn't if I'm wearing an open short sleeve button down over it.I bet it'd be even better and more comfortable with a thin subcompact like a P365.Definitely get the Advanced version with the claw attachment. It comes with two sizes of piece that presses against your belt keeping the pistol grip flush with the body. It's nice to have the two options.Here's why.Originally, I had the bigger part the presses against the belt more, (Deeper concealment grip angle) but the X Compact grip is like sandpaper. Great for shooting, not great rubbing against my side. I went and installed the smaller part and it's much better. Again, I appreciate the options.NOTE: Make sure to read and follow the instructions! Since it's just a trigger guard, you *cannot* re-holster it. I knew this before I purchased the RCS Vanguard, since I learned about it from a YT review.The RCS V is clipped onto the pistol's trigger guard from underneath, not slid forward into it like a typical holster. This means if you pull the pistol out of the RCS Vanguard clipped into your belt, you *must* remove the holster from your belt and reclip it properly to the trigger guard. Luckily, it's easy to do so. I got used to it quickly since I switch between this and a more typical IWB holster- depending on what I'm wearing and/or what I'm doing that day. Best tool for the job kind of thing.
