Raven Concealment Systems Launches 2 New VanGuard 2 Models for SIG P320 Pistols

Friday, December 4th, 2020

Raven Concealment Systems announced today the release of two new models of their popular minimalist holster, the VanGuard 2 for use with the SIG MHS and P320 X-Carry .

The first new model fits both models of the Modular Handgun System, the M17 and M18. This model features a two-tone color scheme, with a black overhook and modular claw, which contrasts nicely with the trigger guard cover that is color-matched to the Coyote Tan frame of the M17/M18 family. These M17/M18 holsters are available here: a.brmc.link/rcsp320

The second new model fits all P320 X-Frame pistols, and has a black trigger guard cover to allow it to be easily distinguishable from its MHS-compatible brother.  These X-Frame holsters are available here:  a.brmc.link/rcsp320x

This project was the result of close collaboration between the design teams at both SIG SAUER and Raven Concealment Systems. This collaboration allowed RCS to provide support for the entire diverse family of P320 pistol variants with just two variants of VG2.

Combined with launching these two new VG2s, RCS is also debuting their innovative new modular claw for the VG2 product family. This new claw is much more streamlined than its predecessor, and can be configured for both left- and right-hand as well as offering two different options for ride-height.

The collaboration between SIG and RCS extends even to the release of the new products, as Sig is participating front-and-center in the retail launch of these concealed-carry holsters by being the first to offer the VG2 Advanced Kits (which include the new modular claw) for sale on their new e-commerce site.  By clicking HERE you will find all of the RCS products currently being offered by SIG.

“As a holster manufacturer, it was an exciting experience to work so closely and directly with a pistol manufacturer – especially one as large and influential as SIG SAUER – to bring these holsters to market. Unveiling our new modular claw — in conjunction with the debut of the VG2 for the MHS — just seemed like the perfect opportunity to introduce the world to this innovative product,” said Michael Goerlich, owner of Raven Concealment Systems.  “The support we received from the Sig design staff made it possible to produce these holsters to such high standards, and the e-commerce team at SIG helped us ensure that the whole Sig customer base had access to these brand-new products on day one.”

These new products supporting the SIG pistol line are available today on the SIG website as well as the RCS website, and in the coming days, through the entire RCS dealer network.

Safariland and Flying Cross Launch Virtual Sizing Technology for Body Armor and Uniforms

Tuesday, December 1st, 2020

XpertFit™ is a Touchless, First-To-Market Innovation for Public Safety

JACKSONVILLE, Florida – Safariland®, a brand of The Safariland Group, a leading global provider of safety products, along with Flying Cross, a Fechheimer Brothers Company brand and global leader in public safety uniforms, announced today their collaborative launch of phase one of a new virtual sizing technology called XpertFit. This virtual sizing technology revolutionizes the process in which individual officers are sized for body armor and uniform apparel. XpertFit offers a touchless, self-measure method of capturing body measurements right from a mobile phone.

“This new sizing service really sets apart the level of innovation and depth of resources available to our customers as two leading industry brands,” said Bob Getto, President/CEO of Fechheimer Brothers Company, the parent company of Flying Cross. “XpertFit will provide our dealers and end users value and efficiencies they have not previously experienced up until now. In addition, XpertFit is the perfect solution during this heightened time of social distancing.”

XpertFit takes the guesswork out of onsite measuring by providing instant and accurate measurements from a smart device. The process takes less than 2 minutes to complete from initiating the technology until the time you are provided with product sizing.

Individuals will simply access the technology from a mobile device and choose their path to fit either body armor or uniforms. Next, the technology will gather general information and then take a front and side profile picture. This is then used to calculate measurements based on its uniquely developed algorithm, and determine a recommended size for Safariland body armor, or Flying Cross uniform apparel.

The new XpertFit technology will enter phase one of its release in early December to a select group of dealers and customers and will be ready for a full launch in Q2 of 2021. This first-to-market technology is an exclusive for Safariland and Flying Cross through their participating partnering dealers. XpertFit was created in partnership with 3DLOOK, the global leader in AI-first contactless body measuring and fit solutions.

“The proper fit of armor and uniforms is essential to duty and safety personnel, and our collaboration with 3DLOOK has allowed us to revolutionize the process.” said Brad Williams, President of Safariland. “Convenience and accuracy of measurements is a growing concern. XpertFit will allow the reflection of this urgency and efficiency to change the procurement process in an effort to save time and increase consumer confidence.”

“We’ve worked hard to bring this level of service to our customers,” said Getto. Every detail has been vetted from the algorithms, use in market, process flow and privacy of customer information. Being able to partner with Safariland to incorporate body armor makes this even more powerful. We are excited to see what this will do for our top customers, retailers, and internal teams as well.”

“We’ve had the pleasure of working with the amazing teams at both Fechheimer and The Safariland Group to deliver this first of a kind simple and accurate fit and sizing solution that delivers a contactless and safe measuring experience. This is a major step in digital transformation for the whole global uniform manufacturing industry,” said Vadim Rogovskiy, Co-founder and CEO at 3DLOOK.
