Nothing about this is appealing to me personally.
Dual DCC clips >>>> Monoblock for stability. Sidecar holsters are really difficult for me to conceal well, I doubt that changes much even with this new design. I definitely value holster comfort and concealability over carrying an extra magazine. I also find RCS to be very overpriced - $125 for their most competitive AIWB holster, the Jake, which comes with plastic clips that I'd have to change out to DCC at ~$15/shipped per clip. $100 for the injection molded, plastic clip Eidelon is LOL worthy almost.
I bet it was built for a special government contract too. /sarcasm

Y'all, it's a premium carry experience.
Who doesn't want that?
Well, some of the really cheap, shitty holsters are often manufacturing-centered designs, rather than human-centered. It's like saying a chair was designed using human factors engineering; sounds silly on the face of it, since chairs are suppose to be only really used by humans, but plenty of shitty chairs out there are designed around providing the minimally adequate sitting experience, while emphasizing the ease of manufacturing.
Looking at their current line of products, it's hard to believe that RCS used to be one of, if not the best holster makers on the market. The Perun is a good inexpensive OWB holster. The VG2 with a lanyard makes for a handy trigger guard. Other than that... I don't see anything they sell that someone like JMCK, DSG, or Tenicor (to name a few) doesn't do better.
I'm not a Raven hater by any means. I still regularly use a G26 Phantom and mag carrier they made for me while I waited at the Indianapolis gun show back in 2011. I use the aforementioned Perun and VG2 from time to time. But their new product releases just continue to disappoint, IMO.
Idk… I am actually very interested in this holster and can’t wait to try one. I have been a Raven user since 2009 and still carry an Eidolon everyday.
If you look at the way this is designed, it looks like it would work well.
**OK**
