Raven Concealment VanGuard 2 IWB Holster Glock 42/43 Black
The Raven Concealment Systems VanGuard 2 IWB Holster for Glock 42/43 redefines minimalist concealed carry, protecting only what matters most — the trigger guard — so you can carry lighter, flatter, and more comfortably every day.
- Minimalist trigger-guard design dramatically reduces bulk and printing
- Fully ambidextrous fit works for left- and right-handed carriers
- Includes 24" braided nylon lanyard cord for versatile carry options
- Compatible with optional VG2 Strut Kit to convert to full IWB holster
- Positive retention keeps your Glock 42/43 securely in place
- Lightweight, low-profile shell ideal for deep concealment situations
Who This Is For
The VanGuard 2 is purpose-built for experienced concealed carriers who prioritize deep concealment and minimal footprint over traditional holster bulk. It's an ideal choice for Glock 42 and Glock 43 owners who want a discreet, pocket-friendly backup carry option, a dedicated off-body or lanyard carry solution, or a cost-effective way to stage a holster in multiple locations — a vehicle, a safe, or a range bag — ready to deploy whenever needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the VanGuard 2 Lanyard Kit and the full IWB holster kit?
The Lanyard Kit includes only the VG2 trigger guard shell and a 24" braided nylon cord, which allows you to carry the holstered pistol on a lanyard or tuck it IWB without a dedicated clip. The full IWB holster kit adds a Strut and clip system for conventional waistband carry. If you purchase this lanyard kit, you can upgrade to the full IWB configuration at any time by ordering the VG2 Strut Kit separately — making this a flexible, future-proof option.
Will the VanGuard 2 fit my Glock 43X or Glock 48?
This specific VG2 shell is molded and retention-fitted for the Glock 42 and Glock 43 only. The Glock 43X and Glock 48 share the same slide width but have a longer grip frame, which may affect fitment and retention. Raven Concealment offers separate VG2 models for other Glock variants, so be sure to select the shell designed specifically for your pistol to ensure a safe, secure fit.
Can I use this holster with a weapon-mounted light or red dot sight on my Glock 43?
The VanGuard 2 is a trigger-guard-only design and does not accommodate weapon-mounted lights or lasers, as these accessories extend beyond the area the shell covers. However, because the VG2 only wraps the trigger guard, low-profile red dot sights mounted to the slide (such as the Shield RMSc) generally do not interfere with the holster shell itself. Always verify fit and safe trigger coverage before carrying with any accessory installed.
