The ProV2 isn’t a mere upgrade or evolution, it’s rethinking what makes for an all-day comfortable concealment holster from first principles, so much so that we even changed the very way the holster was made.
The original Pro, like all Kydex or leather holsters, began its life as a flat sheet that was bent and molded into shape. While we were able to achieve quite a bit with that, to get to the next level of conforming the gun and holster to the wearer’s body while avoiding the “gun-shaped holster” look required a whole new construction method, so the ProV2 was designed to exploit the possibilities of injection molding.
The ProV2 incorporates three technologies that enhance its all-day comfort and concealability.
The first is ComfortScape®, first seen on the Floodlight2 three years ago. Rather than a huge flat surface that presses against the wearer’s skin, leaving it red, sweaty, and chafed at the end of the day, ComfortScape has channels molded in that allow sweat to evacuate and air to circulate. The difference at the end of the day is noticeable.
Second is the more finely tuned control over the shape allowed by injection molding. Rather than having to mold in wedges or blobs to tilt the gun for concealment, the holster itself is subtly shaped to gently rotate the grip inward. This more organic shape is more forgiving and comfortable for a wider variety of anatomies. As a bonus, the holster is ten percent slimmer than the previous Pro.
If you want to add a wedge, you still can, such as our WedgeRx, which also features ComfortScape and skin-safe, medical grade materials.
The final feature is all the little details we’ve learned from previous generations of holsters. For instance, notice the little wedge in front of the trigger guard on the side facing the body. In conventional holsters that sharp drop-off in front of the trigger guard creates a sort of “dead zone” that causes hot spots and discomfort in day-long wear. Further, every part of the holster that touches the body is gently rounded for comfort.
Finally, injection molding allows us to use a stronger plastic blend than the old Kydex, so you have a slimmer, stronger, more comfortable holster that is… are you ready for this? …priced ten dollars lower than the original Pro. Where the original Pro with DCC clips was $125, the ProV2 comes with DCC clips standard at $115. You can also get the ProV2 pre-assembled on our Standard Enigma OS for $170.
At launch, it is available for our three most popular fits: Glock 17/19, Glock 48, and P365 X Macro/Fuse.
