Got a question for you guys. Im looking at the raven phantom holster for my g19 with surefire x300(or without depending) and im trying to decide between the non LC and LC model. Hows the retention on the LC model? I assume it wouldnt have that aggressive lock as the trigger guard is covered. Also, do you guys notice it being significantly harder to conceal due to added width, weight? How about the length? Is the LC model longer than the non LC model? I will be carrying OWB.
Thanks
The retention of the LC models is on the light, not the pistol itself, however retention is still excellent. It is obviously going to be a bit harder to conceal, but not much IMO. Yes the LC models are longer as the light sticks out past the muzzle. IMO the Raven holsters are not very good for IWB, but you should be good to go OWB. That is where they shine. The profile is so low that wearing it OWB still makes it less conspicuous than most IWB holsters.
