Ah, I see where you stated in your OP that it was the light carrier. My bad. Still, they need to resolve the fit with the light carrier, and it sounds like they are willing to do so, but I wouldn't like having send my light to them to make that happen. Seems they should have a model of that light on hand themselves if they are selling a light carrier for it. But maybe I am just being nit-picky.

When I first unwrapped my RCS holster, I was a bit concerned about the belt loops on mine since my belt is a double layer bullhide, and the gun is kind of fat. It was a pretty snug fit getting the belt in them, but it was not so difficult that I had trouble or that it distorted the holster, etc.. Plus, it helps keep the holster from moving around on my belt. I am glad they are exchanging the accessories for you. They should. I ordered from RCS based on their reputation, and I hunted and hunted for reviews with problems with their products and service. It's good to find people speak up when they aren't satisfied with a company's products or service.

I, for one, didn't take any of your post as bashing RCS (but like I said, I am not a die hard RCS fanboy).. It is always good to hear feedback on any company and their products, good or bad. It's how we keep each other informed of what's going on.

RCS has received a LOT of endorsement from some "big names" using their holsters. One reason for the massive backlog and extended wait times to get some of their products. 16-18 weeks is what they say on their website, and my first order from them took every bit of 16 weeks.

I ordered a Phantom OWB setup (along with a double mag carrier) for my FN FNP 45 Tactical (and I really dislike that word anymore, by the way) that has an RMR and a Streamlight TLR2s on it. When it finally arrived, it fit perfectly. Nice "click" when the gun is seated in the holster, good retention, yet it draws easily. My Beltman double bullhide threads through it, and it wears nicely. The mag carrier is of equal fit and finish, and it has an adjustment screw to alow the wearer to set the tension on the mags. I am happy with this setup. It works well for me, and the fit on my gun and mags happened to work out on my order. It doesn't sound like Afff had the same luck with his order. The holster did not fit the gun, which was the first problem, and one that Raven should fix at no cost, including postage, to Afff, in my opinion. I did not order an IWB setup for this gun as the gun is large and would not be suitable for IWB carry in the first place. Now while my first order with Raven went well and I got what I wanted, I will say that I am not not a Raven fanboy, so I will not stick up for them, moreover, I will say again that they should fix the holster fit with the gun so that it can at least be used for OWB carry or just refund the money upon return of the products. Just my opinion.

For IWB carry, I really do like the Minotaur line that Comp-Tac sells. I have one for my 5" 1911 that just seems to melt away in terms of concealment. Most comfortable holster I have ever owned. The problem with those is that, as far as I know, they don't offer models for guns with lights.

I have a RCS setup ordered for my wife's M&P9c w/Streamlight TLR-4 that should be shipping this week. We'll see how it turns out. If it has the same fit issues that Afff's has, Raven will be hearing from me. Having to pay that much and wait that long, a customer should get a proper fitting holster (that is, one that at least fits the gun).
