So Raven Concealment ran a pretty awesome deal on the new Surefire XC1 that included a holster and they stated that shipping would be around 17SEP. I might be the only guy but that got in on it but I figured I’d ask… did anyone get notification recently about the holster/light shipping?
Here we are a month later and they haven’t shipped a single package… just an FYI for anyone that was interested.

That’s sucks, but please update us when you receive it. It looks interesting and I don’t mind paying Surefire prices, but I do have reservations paying Surefire money for a AAA light. I’ll probably pick one up when I get a G19.Are they still in the R&D phase with the holster ?
I had this issue with an IWB for a Hk 45c through Galco. Took ’em three months to ship, due to research and development.Longbow_06 said: ↑

I still haven’t received shipping notification. Supposedly they are shipping another batch next week. If I don’t have notification by the 20th, I’m going to cancel the order. This will be my last order from Raven.

greymethod any update?
Doesn’t look like he’s posted anything since this thread. I’m interested in this as well. Planning purchases for 2016 and RCS is in the plans for a light compatible holster and mag carriers. I keep hearing that demand/popularity isn’t doing great things for them but have always had good experiences with them.
Hey guys, my bad. I did receive the holster and light combo as ordered on 15NOV. Holster is standard Raven (awesome) quality and I love the light. That whole preorder thing was a pretty :censored: terrible though. Zero comms between the company and the customer and when I emailed them about it (as did many other people if you search the popular weapons forums) they basically said “we’ll ship it when we ship it.”
I recently ordered a “quick ship” item from them and it took two weeks to get a shipping notification… supposed to take 1-3 days. I think I’m done with Raven. There are a LOT of smaller kydex companies now that have stellar (like talk to the owner personally) customer service. While the smaller companies might take a bit longer (4-6 weeks), you know what’s up the entire time and can order whatever you want option wise (clips, cant, level, color, size, type of kydex, ETC).

Thanks for the update. I recently tried a Phantom Holster from Raven. It didn’t really work for me, but the quality was really good and CS was awesome about return and refund.
I ended up with a Phlster Access.I’ve been tempted to order from Raven in the past, but have heard horror stories that keep me from pressing the buy button. I ordered a kydex IWB for the newly released Glock 42 when it first came out from RDR kydex, was informed of the 2 week lead time as they hadn’t gotten a blue gun or a real one to take the mold yet, and then had the shop owner personally call me to let me know they had run out of the smaller ABS belt clips and he wanted to know if I minded waiting a few extra days for it to show up or if I would prefer him make me one out of Kydex. He advised that the plastic one was a but more robust, so I chose to wait for it. Way too many smaller companies, and even bigger ones like RDR that have stellar reputations for customer service for me to take a gamble with something from Raven.
Raven used to be the end-all for kydex companies. I currently run a Bravo Concealment light bearing holster for my duty weapon that is awesome and was shipped within their 3-5 day business window.
I have another on order for an IWB for the G19 w/XC1 from Yetitac. I conversed with the owner personally over Facebook and it was generally a much more pleasant experience.
