Your competition holster needs to do three things:
- Keep your pistol secure
- Keep it accessible
- Give you a fast, repeatable draw
The problem is—those don’t always work together. Most competition holsters rely on trigger guard friction to balance retention and speed. And you’ve felt the tradeoff.
You draw—and the holster drags.
You move—and the holster shifts.
You adjust—and your draw changes with it.
That’s where consistency breaks down.
Holster flip. Inconsistent release. Time lost—not just on the clock, but in your reps. So you tighten retention to fix it. Now the holster holds—but your draw suffers. Loosen it again, and now retention becomes a concern. You’re stuck managing your gear instead of running it.
The X1 Raptor
The X1 Raptor was built to remove that tradeoff. Instead of relying on friction, it uses a magnetic retention system at the muzzle.
- Secure through movement
- Clean, defined break on the draw
- No holster flip
Once you clear the magnet, the path is clean. No drag. No inconsistency. Just a repeatable draw you can build around. That’s where performance comes from.
Built for How You Actually Shoot
The magnetic system is supported by a rigid Tegris bridge, keeping everything locked in place while maintaining a consistent release. Fine-tune it with included adjustment shims to match your setup and preference. Because consistency isn’t one-size-fits-all—but it should be repeatable.
Built to Last. Built to Run.
Dual-layer construction. Precision forming. Materials designed to hold up under real use.
- Up to .125″ Kydex construction
- Thousands of reps without breakdown
- Consistent performance over time
This isn’t a holster you “break in.” It’s one you build with.
Make It Yours
Choose your outer and inner layers. Run standard or specialty prints.Add custom engraving. Build something that performs—and looks the part.
Ready When You Are
Most competition holsters take months. The X1 Raptor doesn’t. 7-10 day lead time. Because your gear shouldn’t hold you back before you even start.
Bottom Line
Friction-based systems require adjustment. The X1 Raptor gives you consistency. And consistency is what actually builds performance.
Does the X1 Raptor include a belt attachment?
No. The X1 Raptor uses industry-standard mounting patterns and does not include a belt attachment unless specifically listed.

Came here after seeing this is what hunter constantine runs. Watched some of Westin’s videos and bought one for my G47. Absolutely love it. Butter smooth, very durable, and excellent attention to detail. Top tier customer service. Excited to buy more when I pick up some other hand guns. Highly recommend.

This may be the most clean and innovative level 1 comp holster I’ve come across. Came across a comment on Lucas Botkins YT video and immediately got one for my G47, safe to say I’m not disappointed. Thank you, Carey Concealment.

I’m far beyond happy with the X1 Raptor Performance Holster from CAREY Concealment. After getting one for my CZ Shadow 2, I was so impressed that I immediately ordered another for my Glock 34.
The fit, retention, and draw feel are absolutely top-tier tight where it needs to be, smooth when it counts. The build quality is exceptional, clearly designed by someone who understands both competition and everyday carry needs. Comfort and performance are perfectly balanced here.
I highly recommend the X1 Raptor to anyone serious about quality gear. It’s become my go-to holster for range days, training, and matches alike.

Very kind words Mike, Thank You

Once you’ve had a chance to get it on your hanger you’ll instantly realize that the kydex has been thoughtfully omitted from all the places you would hope. Obviously, if you’re looking at this holster, you understand the innovation behind what Carey is doing, and the fit and final product simply exceed expectations.

Am very pleased with my X1 Raptor for a relatively new to the market steel frame M&P. Functions as described and shipped quickly.
