Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Vanguard 2 fit my Glock 19 with a weapon light or red dot optic?
The standard Vanguard 2 for Glock 17/19 is designed to fit factory-configuration pistols without weapon lights or compensators. It relies on trigger guard retention, so modifications that change the trigger guard profile may affect fit. If you run a light or optic, check with Raven Concealment Systems for light-bearing or optic-cut compatible variants before purchasing.
How does the Vanguard 2 retain the pistol — is it safe enough for active carry?
The Vanguard 2 uses passive friction-based retention focused on the trigger guard, which physically blocks the trigger and prevents the firearm from being fired while holstered. Drawing requires a deliberate upward pull, making it secure enough for everyday concealed carry. Many users pair it with a retention cord (available separately from Raven) for added peace of mind during physical activity.
Can the Vanguard 2 be used for appendix inside-waistband (AIWB) carry?
Yes — the Vanguard 2 was specifically designed with appendix carry in mind. Its minimalist footprint, lightweight construction, and tuckable clip make it one of the most popular choices for AIWB carry among minimalist carriers. It can also be worn at the 3–5 o'clock position for strong-side IWB carry, giving you flexibility depending on your preferred carry style.
