New Raven Eidolon Modular Holster

I’m an AIWB (appendix inside the waistband) holster kind of guy and have been, exclusively, for many years.

Raven Concealment System’s first foray into AIWB holsters (the ACR), was not a holster I liked. And I said so. More than once. Raven’s second foray into AIWB (the Vanguard 2), was not something I liked. And I said so. More than once.

Unlike many companies that get upset if you fail to endorse their products, Raven instead sent me a pre-release version of its newest AIWB capable holster, the Eidolon. They’re only available presently for Glocks but other models are obviously coming.

I say it’s AIWB capable because it is not specifically designed only for AIWB use. It is also capable of being set up as a standard behind/on the hip IWB. It will accept all current mini-Red Dot sights. It works with suppressor barrels. It works with most extended controls. It has a unique way of retaining the pistol that isolates the front of the trigger guard rather than the entire area of a gun. From an AIWB perspective it has wedges (first seen on the Garrity In-Victus) as well as a “claws” (similar to the wing on the 5-Shot SME) that can be used together or piecemeal to provide the optimum 3-dimensional position for concealment, comfort, and speed.

That’s the Eidolon (which I jokingly tell people is pronounced “LEGO” for apparent reasons).

If you stop by Raven’s booth at SHOT and mention my name, they’ll give you a free complete Eidolon kit plus $100.*

* note, stopping by Raven’s booth at SHOT and mentioning my name won’t get you anything but a quizzical stare and, possibly, a kick in the shins.
