Who This Is For
The VanGuard 2 Lanyard Kit is purpose-built for concealed carriers who prioritize a bare-minimum footprint — whether you're a plainclothes professional needing a discreet backup option, an everyday carrier who wants a low-profile solution for off-body carry, or someone building a versatile holster system they can expand over time. It's especially well-suited for Glock owners who want a single shell they can run with the included lanyard now and convert to a full belt-carry IWB setup later.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the VanGuard 2 as a standard IWB holster without the lanyard?
Yes. The VG2 shell is designed to work both with the included 24" braided nylon lanyard and as a standalone trigger guard holster tucked inside the waistband. If you want to add a belt clip and strut for a more traditional IWB carry configuration, you can purchase the VanGuard 2 Strut Kit separately to upgrade your existing shell.
Which Glock models is the VanGuard 2 compatible with?
The VanGuard 2 is designed to fit Glock pistols; Raven Concealment offers model-specific VG2 shells for various Glock generations and frame sizes. Check the product listing or contact Goodland Guns to confirm compatibility with your specific Glock model and generation before purchasing.
How does the lanyard carry system work, and is it secure?
The lanyard attaches to the VG2 shell and loops around your neck or can be anchored to a fixed point for a quick-access backup carry method. The shell's positive retention holds the trigger guard snugly so the pistol stays in place during movement, while still allowing a clean, deliberate draw when needed. This makes it a popular choice for backup carry, vehicle storage, or off-body applications where a belt-mounted holster isn't practical.
