| what is on the back of the holster ? how secure does it hold the weapon? |
|
Quoted:
It locks in nice and tight, but I've had the screws come completely off while wearing it for extended periods. The Raven concealment holster seem to have a stronger kydex. I can bend my Pitbul with little effort. Loctite the screws. My raven is alot more flexible than my pitbull. I'm about to order more stuff from jeff. It's more comfortable than my supertuck could ever dream of being. |

The kydex is a lot stronger and it is easy to switch from IWB to OWB. and is more secure on my belt than any other holsters of that type were. but all holsters you listed would be great choices. I myself used a Supertuck for a while.

| I haven't used a Raven Phantom or a Crossbreed Supertuck so I can't really add to the comparisons; however, I am very happy with the Pitbull holster that I have. The turn-around time was a factor for me because I needed a holster sooner rather than later (Pitbull's turn-around time is 2 weeks compared to 16-18 weeks for Raven). |

I wanted a Raven but didn't want to wait 3+months for one. Got my Pitbull in 2 weeks and it's awesome! Secure and comfortable. I can't see how a raven is 2.5+ months better to wait for.
Customer service is top notch too. Jeff responded to e-mails within a couple hours and was all about modifying a mag carrier order. ETA: I have a crossbreed and I have them for two different reasons. Crossbreed for when I really have to carry IWB and Pitbull for my everyday OWB. The Pitbull IWB is there if I need it but 95% of the time I use it for OWB. |

I've got both a Raven and a Pitbull... Both work great for me.
For my MP9c I tend to prefer the Raven IWB with the "Wings" attachment and soft loops...when stock. I prefer the Pitbull OWB as it actually has better weapon retention, if I were to remold it's IWB wing attachment on the leading edge it would be better... Stock both my Pitbulls dug into my hip a bit too much at the base of the holster... I trimmed one for my 1911 holster and remolded that piece... Fits like a glove now. My Pitbull for the 5" 1911 gets as much use as my Milt Sparks VM2... neck and neck with what I consider to be the Gold Standard of IWB holsters. Yes, the Raven is made of stouter Kydex and use, the edges are "finished" a touch nicer... But the wait is insane. In the future, my Kydex holsters will be from Pitbull... I have two Pitbull holsters currently and certainly intend to get a few more. Raven? sure, if I can grab it used for a decent price, or if it's a holster I don't need anytime soon... My last order took just under 5 months from order to delivery.  . Pitbull has been right at 2 weeks for both orders.

| I have used a Raven OWB in two training classes years ago, and I thought it was great. I have Two Pit Bull holsters, and they are just as good as the Ravens IMO. I wear IWB at 2:50 and it works perfect for me, better than any other I have tried, and of coarse, OWB works great as well. You do have to get used to the retention though, as it is a bit stronger than others, but I like it. |
