Grizzly Heart: N82 Tactical’s “The Revenant” IWB Holster
With the right holster and gun combination, every man and woman has the heart of a grizzly.
In the recent hit movie The Revenant, which portrays the real historical events in the life of Hugh Glass, we were all reminded of the indomitable spirit that formed the foundations of America…and The Revenant IWB holster from N8 Tactical was christened in honor of that spirit. If you’re not familiar with the story, Glass, after having survived a grizzly-bear attack, essentially “rose from the dead” to get revenge on those who had left him there to die. Chances are very good that you’ll never have to face what Glass did, but just in case…why not have the very best EDC kit at your side?
There are many factors to consider when purchasing a new holster, including comfort, retention, and ease of draw, and the Revenant IWB Holster by N8 Tactical has all three. It features many of the things that you look for in a quality holster including: adjustable cant, firearm-specific pocket, combat cut backer, and positive retention, all mounted on the most comfortable backer in the industry.
Whether you’re carrying a Sig P365, S&W M&P9 Shield, or one of 100s of other handguns the firearm Specific Polycarbonate pocket is designed for YOUR firearm. Not only is the pocket engineered to offer a superior fit, the Polycarbonate pocket is made from an incredibly durable material ensuring that your holster will last a lifetime.
The durable leather surface of the backer will not mar or scratch your firearm while providing a clean and smooth surface to draw from. The middle layer of the backer features a moisture-proof neoprene core, which not only protects your firearm from sweat and body oils, but also offers a compression cushion to keep the firearm from pushing into your body. Last but not least, the body side of the backer features a layer of ultra-comfortable suede–the finishing touch to the most comfortable holster backer on the market.
The Secure Twist Release Retention System ensures that your firearm will stay secure enough to provide proper retention while allowing for a smooth, worry-free draw. The system features a small modification to the pocket that secures your firearm, while being easily released with a minor twist of the wrist. The Revenant holster is part of N8 Tactical’s “Two Week, Try it Free” program, and covered by a lifetime warranty; if you’d like to purchase one of your own, you can find them here.

It would be good to see more light and laser options available. I used a n82 professional for a gun for about a year. It’s far more comfortable than anything else I’ve used. It is a bit thicker though, so harder for the less thin among us to conceal.
I don’t know why more don’t offer things in polycarbonate. After a year, the gun I was carrying showed 0 holster wear.
The twist is easy to get used to if you practice a little bit. It’s concealed carry with active retention that doesn’t hinder your draw. That’s pretty awesome.
Nobody wants to twist their pistol to pull it from the holster. There sales would increase if they just made it like any other holster and you just pulled it straight up and out. I will never buy a holster that has a added drawing feature in the design. They also need to make holsters that have lights or lasers attached. I have lights on all my carry pistols included my Glock 43X, Glock 19 and sig P365. I don’t carry a pistol without a light and again they are missing out on sales, also N82 should use replaceable shells for different pistols. I rotate my pistols every month and practice shooting them at the range so I also change Kydex holsters made for the pistol with Streamlight light and laser attached. If I only had to replace the Kydex on their backing it would have reduced my cost since I had to buy 3 different holsters. If N82 wants to compete against “We the People” holsters for example they need to make some changes. I don’t even consider N82 because they don’t have what I’m looking for. Thanks for the opportunity to express my opinion, Daryl.
Daryl,
Except that the “nobody” wants to twist their pistol is false as they sold a boat load of theses when they were first released and the vast majority of people who bought them had nothing but good things to say about them.
Are they everyone’s cup of tea? No, no their not, but people like them…for the record I’ve never used one
Oh and for those that didn’t/don’t know the original owners sold the company to Crossbreed Holsters parent company early this year.
