Last Chance to Experience Phantom Summer

Friday, November 10th, 2023

This summer, RCS brought back their legendary Phantom modular holster for a limited run. But like a visit from an old friend and the warmth of summer, all good things come to an end. This weekend is the LAST CHANCE to order the iconic Phantom and Phantom LC holsters before the order books are closed indefinitely.

Back in July, RCS revived the RCS Phantom – the pioneering modular, polymer, pancake-style holster that set the gold standard in concealment holsters. This was the first time the whole line has been available for order since 2015.  In the weeks since then, they have released nearly 40 different model-fits of Phantom and Phantom LC holsters.  Many of the model-fits had never been available in a Phantom prior to this event.

Introduced by RCS in 2006 and famously featured in the Magpul Dynamics DVD series, the Phantom holds a special place in the hearts of concealed-carry enthusiasts. Those who remember its initial release likely also remember the anticipation, with lead times reaching 16-18 weeks at the peak. The Phantom’s revolutionary design has served as an inspiration for countless holster companies, cementing its place as the blueprint for the modern concealed-carry holster.

For the last 10 weeks, RCS has gradually announced new model fits.  Notable Phantom models include:
