A great holster made even better.
I have had the light tuck for about a year now. Everyday comfortable. However the Ruger SR-9 was a bit difficult to conceal under lighter clothing. The claw works as advertised, pulls the grip in close.
The Claw
I added the claw to my Lite Tuck and its performance is amazing. I can now wear it under a T shirt without printing at all. Your holsters are simply the best and now they are even better.
Best for appendix carry
I have found this to be the best claw available for appendix carry on the market today.
Claw
Makes concealing a full size m&p 2.0 a lot easier in the appendix position. Awesome job Vedder!
Vedder Claw
The Claw makes a great holster even better. More comfortable and better concealment. Very easy installation. I highly recommend the Claw.
Light Tuck Claw
Love the Light Tuck holsters,but l had a bit of printing with extended mags. Purchased four claw retrofit kits for my light tuck holsters. Easy install. Amazing results! If you are considering IWB carry, this is a no brainer. Get the claw option, or spend the 8 bucks and add the claw. Easy upgrade to concealment. Big difference at a small cost. One note: I recommend adding a drop of Blue Loktite sealant on the claw threads to keep the tension on the weapon as intended. The blue Loktite will allow for adjustment while preventing unintentional loosening,
The claw
The claw makes a great holster excellent
The claw works!
Was intrigued with this add to item and am not disappointed. The claw puts just enough pressure on your belt to keep the holster and firearm a little closer to the body. It is easy to install and there was no noticeable discomfort. Give it a try.
Amazing!!
I had never owned a Claw on any of my holsters before buying one from Vedder. I understood the concept behind them, but I never knew what a tremendous difference it would make. Installation was simple and easy. Highly,highly recommend!!!.
Great add on
It effectively does it's job. Shipping was fast and the install was very easy. I'm happy with it.
$8 fix to a $60 problem
This easy add on to my holster made my p938 even easier to conceal. I was considering a different IWB holster before this add on. 10/10 recommend.
Claw Add-On Kit
I recently purchased and installed the claw add on kit to my Light Tuck IWB Vedder holster and it made a huge difference in keeping my Sig P365 close to my body for total concealment. I hight recommend this product.
Works great! Easy to install
This add on works great to reduce printing when out in public. Easy to install too!
Claw add-on
Excellent product. Adjustable & small enough to fit in any holster where you can put a screw in. Printing gone on M&p shield. You need to advertise this product more. Been a gun owner since 06, I never knew this existed until now. This product is a must have lifesaver. Thanks vedder for an excellent product.
I have learned my lesson
Originally I bought a lighttuck AIWB holster without the claw since I didn't know what it was. After wearing the holster for a while I noticed the slight printing the lighttuck produced and became interested in the claw to increase concealability. After the simple five minute installation process and wearing the holster with the claw I have learned my lesson to save those couple dollars and order all future Vedder holsters with the claw installed.
Kydex IWB holster for Kimber Micro 9.
Love the holster. The metal clip grabs my belt better tthan some plastic clips I've used. The adjustable height and angle allows a custom fit. I prefer my pistol tipped forwar, 4 o'clock position. The claw( It definitely reduces printing, also affect draw as pistol is against body. Have been wearing both ways, using claw as I'm writing. Jury's still out. Got the red, carbon fiber. Beautiful look, nicely molded.
Wow . . . Simply Wow!
I recently received my Vedder LightTuck with the Claw attachment for my new Sig P365. Like my other 2 LightTuck holsters, it was excellent. The Claw does what is advertised. It holds the pistol grip closer to my body in the appendix carry position.
So impressed with the Claw attachment, I ordered one for my LCP II LightTuck holster. I received it, yesterday. After some careful fitting and drilling, it fits perfectly!
Imagine a Ruger LCP II in a LightTuck holster carried in the appendix position. It's going to conceal very well, as one would expect. Now, with the Claw attachment, it's completely invisible under a snug fitting tee.
Awesome, Vedder . . . simply awesome!

i will recommend this product(claw)
Claw attachment for my Lighttuck holster
I have been wearing my Vedder holster for a little over a year now, and was very happy with it. I carry a Glock 19 in appendix position, and the Lighttuck did a great job of concealing with everything except my lightest tee-shirts. The claw attachment turns the grip in towards my abdomen just enough that now I can conceal it under just a single tee-shirt. I am super thrilled with the product. I have recommended Vedder to my family and friends, and will continue to do so!
The Claw
I gave this a 5 star because its everything Vedder advertises and there is a small note that indicates if you wear your holster low it probably wont work, and it doesn’t. Wish i had read that beforehand but my bad. However, Vedder is awesome i. Everything ive bought from them.
Claw
My Vedder light tuck was already comfortable and concealable. But the claw added extra retention and sense of security. Thanks to Pennie. C she's awesome, always there to answer any questions in a timely and professional manner. Guys, you can't go wrong with Vedder's innovative and quality products. After a lot of research they are now my go to company for all my holster needs.
Works great
Works great with my light tuck and my G17 or G19.
Claw
Love my light tuck holster. I’ve seen these claw attachments for other brand holsters and was waiting for Vedder to come out with one for their’s. Well the wait is over and this little attachment is Awesome! Now my light tuck is truly Perfect!!! Thanks Vedder holsters!
Great addition to Holster
Great Product. Great Price. Fast Shipping and Easy to Install.
Claw
I have four Vedder holsters and unfortunately the claw is a little disappointing. It’s not tall enough to stay behind my belt and it’s not a great idea to attach what is essentially a lever to the retention screw. The holsters are great products and I’m sure they’ll come out with a better version of the claw in the future.
***Vedder Holsters COMMENT***
Thank you for the feedback on our new Claw. Prior to shipment, the belt clip will be placed in the deepest ride height setting for your preference. We will ensure the Claw attachment is positioned at the highest location possible, as close to the trigger guard as we can make it. The Claw attachment is designed to never interfere with the draw of the gun. We recommend carrying your weapon in a position that allows for a good master grip to be made without interference from your pants or belt which will allow the claw to grab the belt flawlessly. We do, however, understand that some people prefer a deep ride height and because the LightTuck offers a wide range of adjustability for a wide range of gun models compared to some other competitors with a claw product, there may be a situation where the Claw does not grab the belt in the deepest ride height setting. The Claw will have two points of contact with the holster to make sure it is stabilized. We completely understand if the Claw will not work out for you and we will be happy to accept it back as you are still with in your 30 day trial period. Have a great day!
Excellent edition, "hairy" install on smaller holsters
Well as is reads in the description (just noticed it ordered my claw before seeing it) smaller platform Lighttuck holsters may not be compatible with the claw for two reasons -
1) the holster itself being of a minimalist design may not have enough room to drill the extra hole.
2) the smaller sized pistols like Kahr CW380, Ruger LCP, S&W Bodyguard, etc. usually don't need the extra "sucking into the body" for non printing.
But being a Vedders, I ordered 2 claws, 1 for my lighttuck and 1 for other holsters I have around. My Lighttuck which is my favorite holster of the many different styles and manufacturer's I been through.
With that being said, I did successfully install a claw on my Kahr CW380 Lighttuck holster - the added hole is pretty close to the edge of the holster which is why I can see why Vedders doesn't recommend the claw for the pocket / micro pistols, but still "doable".
As per the description it does what it supposed to do - brings the handle in closer to the body as the claw is well designed to push up against the inside of the waistband.
It is very trim, sturdy, and not in the way of the draw for appendix to 5:00 position, and retains the "tuckability" of the holster. Very glad I purchased this upgrade to my Vedders, and to add to any other holster that has enough room to drill the second hole.
I would say that it really would come into play as far as functionality goes when it comes to the sub compact to mid to full size pistols to keep the handle in, but for the smaller micros, it's not really needed but doesn't hurt to have.
P938 Claw
I purchased the claw in conjunction with my new LightTuck (definitely the way to go, a few bucks cheaper and the holes come drilled already). Although I'm planning on switching to a RapidTuck (the LightTuck was just digging in funny on me), I would say this attachment is a MUST HAVE for anybody with a LightTuck who plans on carrying appendix even a little! The gun goes from barely printing in a loose fitting black shirt, to no printing what so ever in a tight fitting light grey shirt (with extended mag). I've also found that the twisting of the holster does aid in the comfort department a bit for me personally. I was planning on getting an aftermarket claw and modifying my LightTuck to take it, but when I saw Vedder added this, the choice was easy, I saved $10 and didn't have to hope that it would work. True, I may be switching away from the LightTuck, it's still a fine holster, just not right for me, but I couldn't be happier that Vedder is now offering this as part of their line and you would be a fool not to get it unless you walk around wearing a down jacket year-round.
Claw Accessory
I first want to say that I currently own six Vedder Light Tuck holsters. So, I apparently think they are very well made product offering adjustability for carry depth and cant. I might add, that there customer service is impeccable.
With that being said, I don't think the Claw attachment was engineered very well. There are three positions for carry depth. If you choose the top holes for deepest concealment, the Claw is not long enough to catch your belt with the 1 1/2" belt clip. I had to choose the bottom setting for highest ride height for the claw to engage the bottom half of my belt.
**VH COMMENT**
I am sorry to hear that your claw does not meet you needs. Due to the high degree of adjustability of the LightTuck holster, it is possible that the claw may not be effective in the low ride height positions. I will certainly pass your feedback on to our product development team for future product improvements. We appreciate your business and you taking the time to share your experience.
Shield Claw
I love the new claw. It eliminated the protrusion of the Shield's butt from the waistband. Easy to apply and works very well. It does put more stress on the waistband and belt, and I am unsure what effect, if any, this will have long range. The pistol definitely prints less with this attachment! I heartily recommend it.
Vedder claw attachment
I own five Vedder Light Tuck Holsters and decided to purchase two claw attachments. I carry everyday, in the Appendix position, and depending on the days schedule it could be either my CZ P-10c, Glock 27, Glock 43 w/ TRL6 or Sig P238. I attached the claw to my CZ & 27 Holsters. What a difference in regards to concealment these have made! Quality, easy of installation and perfect fit! If you have any doubt about this product from Vedder, don’t! It’s great!
Claw Add-on Kit
Well worth $6.00!
I carry the small Glock 26 with a longer, 15 round magazine in a Vedder LightTuck (IWB-Appendix). That means the pistol grip is difficult to conceal. The Claw is very effective in forcing the longer pistol grip in closer to my body. I can now wear shirts that are not quite so baggy to avoid printing.
Tip-1: The template provided was too long to sit properly while preparing to drill the required hole. So I ground both ends of the template to get it to fit is the small space on the holster. (This wouldn't be a problem for a pistol with a longer barrel.)
Tip-2: Just like in the video, my holster is pure black. To make it easier for me to see the mark to drill the hole I first applied a piece of masking tape to the holster. That made it easier for me to see the mark on the holster and drill it accrately.
Tip-3: After a test fit of The Claw in the 2 holes, a corner of The Claw was protruding outside the normal profile of the holster. A quick touch-up at the belt sander was the final step in fitting. Again, larger guns probably won't have this problem.
I wish that the part of The Claw that is made to contact my belt was longer. I wear a heavy 1 1/2" leather gun belt. With the cant that I prefer The Claw is only touching about 1/3 of my belt.

Claw
Does as advertised. Closer fit to body. Very comfortable
Claw
Very easy to install, great quality, and does what it says. Overall a great add on to a great holster.
Claw Attachment
Excellent product. Works great as advertised. Easy installation. Will not go without. Highly recommend this for appendix carry with Light Tuck Kydex Holster.
Claw
Made a great holster even better!
Great upgrade
First off, my LightTuck was already my main carry holster. I already liked this holster a lot.
When I saw the claw had been released I went ahead and ordered one, thinking I had little to lose. Overall I am very impressed - both with the impact of adding the claw, and the fact that Vedder made it a retrofit for existing holsters in the wild. It's easy to install, and has an immediate felt impact. I concealed-carry a full size M&P at about 2:30-3:00, and this helps pull the grip in closer to my body, reducing printing and overall improving conceal-ability.
Long story short, if you own a LightTuck and a drill, I recommend this upgrade highly, and I commend Vedder for releasing it as a retrofit to existing owners.
Claw
Had to trim off excess overhang on my claw. And also added a dab of hot glue to keep it from slightly moving. Other than that it does exactly what its supposed to do. Plus the little ten minutes it took to fix was nothing. Overall it does hold tighter to my frame. Expect a slight difference on fitment of claw, due to different sizes of holsters depending on size of firearm.
You pay for quality and get it!
Very easy to install and does what it's supposed to do.
claw attachment
It works as advertised.Pulls the butt of my Kahr PM45 in close to body concealing it so it disappears under a T shirt.Here on south Florida,that means a lot.
The Claw
I have seen similar products before and thought that they looked liked they would be a great addition to the holster, but then have forgotten all about them. When I saw that Vedder now had this product, I was pretty excited. It was good that they have made it backwards compatible so I could add it to the Lite Tucks that I have owned for a couple years, I am not a slender guy and have some love handles. With the claw. it just really helps suck the butt in the gun right up close. The Claw has taken a great holster and made it even better. I have another Claw on the way and probably will get one more after that. They are also very affordable. You get a lot for a small amount of money!! Thanks Vedder!!
Claw Add-On
Was excited to add the Claw to my Light tuck, straight forward install seemed shorter than expected. Wrote to customer service and they were glad to help me out. The Customer Service made me wish I could make this higher than a 5 star review. Thanks again Pennie
AND more comfortable
For me the best thing about the claw is that it increased the carry comfort. It also gave me more options. Because it doesn’t print (at all now) I can carry the lighttuck at a higher setting. This improved draw speed and comfort. In my opinion this is a necessary component of the holster.
better than expected
It was easy to add the claw to my LightTuck, and now my Sig P320 Compact disappears under a t-shirt (appendix position for me). Be sure to use it with a sturdy belt for best results.
claw add on
Works exactly as advertised. My only criticism is that the video cannot be expanded and the guy demonstrating seems to always have his hand in the way. Also would recommend a more standard drill bit size. I had to borrow a 7/32". The claw does make my favorite holster better.
Claw Review
Great add-on to my light tuck. Installed in just a few minuets. I'll add it to every new light tuck I order.
Claw with LightTuck for Glock42
I run the G42 as low as possible and find the claw is too short to push against my belt, pushes against trousers...but my LightTuck still
my ‘go-to’ holster.
**VH COMMENT**
Thank you for your feedback. Due to the high degree of adjustability of the LightTuck there are a few instances where the LightTuck will not make the right amount of contact in the lowest ride height position to be effective. We apologize that this was the case for you and thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and thank you for your business.
Makes a good holster great!
The claw came out shortly after I got the holster. I emailed asking about some sort of claw but never heard back. Then a couple weeks later I got the email rolling out the claw. It def changed this thing for the better love the way it conceals now.
Claw
The claw is very easy to install with the providedo insure the orientation hole is drill in the right location.
Claw
Very good improvement to an already excellent product.The installation went very easily (took about 20 minutes to install on both lite-tucks), and did indeed pull the pistol somewhat closer to my body. Just what I expected from Vedder.
Vedder claw
Recently purchased two claw attachments for my light tuck holsters. They arrived quickly and free shipping is great. The claw was extremely easy to install onto my existing holsters. Overall a great product that aids in concealment. The only thing I would change is the included screw for the claw could be slightly longer. The included one works but only engages a few threads. I would feel better about it not falling out if it were slightly longer. Overall a great product and well worth the money.
The Claw works
This extension does help keep the holster from rotating and closer to the body. The downside is it makes insertion into pants and removal of the holster a bit more difficult since its purpose is to "snag" against the pants.
Also, I did the modification to an existing holster and it is a very easy process to mark and drill the hole for the attachment of the claw. I do appreciate the evolution and customer support and focus this modification represents. Vedder is doing a great job here.
Great attachment
I ordered my lighttuck and about a month later the claw was released. I ordered it right away and it was to me VERY FAST. Very easy to install with just one drill hole. It makes quite a difference. I’m only carrying a G42 but I know when I get a bigger gun I won’t have any issues printing because the claw tucks the handle right in. I almost forgot...THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE HANDS DOWN!!!
it worked
it doses what it is intended to do really well
Claw install/addition
Received the claw attachment in just a few days with no shipping charge! Thank you. Very simple installation, I just purchased a 26 light tuck a few months ago to go along with the 43 I already had. The claw was a welcome addition to an already nice lightweight and rugged simple holster. Thanks again.
Works Great!
Super pleased with the original Lighttuck, but wanted an even "tighter" fit as carrying appendix. Works great! Even less printing and I cannot fell the claw at all. In fact, since more flush to my body I need to do a bit more training in order to accommodate the new fit.
TheClaw
Funny how a little piece of plastic make a big difference. I liked my holster before but now it is really part of my attire. No more worries of printing.
Thanks for the upgrade attachment
I am very happy that I purchase a claw to put on my existing light up holster. I ordered a holster with a claw for my second concealed carry weapon and I love the fact that that double stack Firearms no longer Prince When I have on t-shirts. I have not attached Mike LOL yet because of so much to do and too little time but I can't wait to get it on the first holster. I would also like to thank you for the easy instructions for attaching The holster.
A Must Have for Appendix Carry
Well worth the $6 to add to my pre-existing LightTuck. The base of the handle sits a half inch closer to my abdomen. That small distance makes a great difference optimizing concealment. I prefer fitted t-shirts and the claw facilitates my wardrobe choice.
Best add on yet
Bought this for the LightTuck Holster for M&P9 Shield and Glock 17. The claw does exactly what is advertised. Makes the holster press up to the body without added girth or discomfort. Excellent Add on. Well thought out.
The Light Tuck Claw
The Light Tuck is an excellent holster in all respects. The addition of the claw accessory to this fine holster makes it even better. Printing caused by the gun's grip is obviously reduced. I like it! And I recommend it!
Works Amazing
This claw is the perfect addition for my light tuck holster. I've been having trouble concealing properly in the appendix position. I weigh 130 pounds, therefore, the circumference of my waist is very small. The claw hides the grip of my Glock 43 perfectly.
Claw Attachment
Works the way its supposed to! Can't go wrong adding this accessory to your daily carry.
4 o'clock Claw
Installed the claw on both of my Lighttuck Kydex IWB holsters (S&W M&P 45 and Walther PK380). On both printing is noticeably reduced when wearing t-shirts and nonexistent wearing anything heavier. I can even carry the Smith with the larger magazine. Well worth the small price.
Light Tuck Claw
Thanks for offering a claw at a reasonable price, one half of what others charge. Once installed, printng with the gun grip is significantly reduced. The screw to attach the claw was too short for my Kahr pm9 I
**VH COMMENT**
I am sorry to hear that your screw was too short to fit your PM9 holster. This should certainly not be the case. We would love to see why this issue is occurring so we can resolve it for you. We thank you for your business and taking the time to share your feedback.
Light tuck 'Claw'
Ordered this item several weeks ago, not because of any dissatisfaction with my 'Light Tuck' G43 holster. But, $5.99.. what the heck. Easy installation. It definitely works to pull the pistol grip closer into your body, making concealment a touch easier.. (I carry IWBA)
Claw on LightTuck with Glock 42
After going around and around with Holsters, I found that the LightTuck was 'almost' perfect for G42..I like to wear handgun low(appendix)..it printed a wee bit with a +1 magazine..so tried the claw but it isn't long enough with the holster adjusted for it's lowest position(clip at highest position on holster). The claw doesn't push against the belt, but my trousers..so doesn't decrease printing. Still love the holster and will continue to use it exclusively.
**VH COMMENT**
Thank you for your feedback. Due to the high degree of adjustability of the LightTuck holster, there are some instances where the claw may not make enough contact to be effective on the lowest ride height setting. I will certainly pass your suggestions on to our product development team to see if there is any way we can make this adjustment for future product updates. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
Excellent
Two days before they debuted the claw I was looking for one that I might be able to jury rig to my two Vedder holsters. Well, they solved that problem. Easy to install and works great. Pushes my grip in tight for better concealment yet still gives me a good draw. Cudos to the Vedder family.
Holster claw
Was just getting ready to contact Vedder and see what it would cost to adapt one of their holsters to except a claw, when I get this email notifying me that they have added a claw to their line of products. Ordered 3. These work great and help keep the butt of the handgun tucked into the body. AWSOME! I carry every day and always use the vedder products. GREAT HOLSTERS! Even better with their claw.
Love the claw
Big plus to the light tuck holds gun closer to your body for better concealment yet still comfortable.
Does what it should
Pros:
Easy install
Minimal design
Cons:
Doesn’t grab as much of the belt as a RCS wing does, which results in not as great Concealment.
Overall a much needed accessory for the Vedder holster... wish it was slightly taller to grip more of the belt.

Hooked on the claw
I got a light tuck IWB holster for my CZ PCR. Tried it but decided it wasn't going to work because the grip would noticeably print (wearing appendix). Decided to give the claw a try (at around $6 nothing to lose). Installed it and now it conceals perfectly. This definitely makes it work and is a must. Great idea and product.
Its clawsome!
Perfect addition to an already great holster. Easy install. Get one.
Your LIGHTTUCK is incomplete without this...
I didn't ever think I could get much happier with my LIGHTTUCK holster. It is the best holster I own and wish I would have found Vedder from day one. I noticed a few other brands that had a "claw" attachment on their holsters and thought it was a cool idea since I would sometime get a slight print from my Shield while wearing AIWB. Before I knew it, I saw Vedder post a sneak preview about their claw! I was super excited to try it out and ordered the first day it was available. Install was very easy and wow does this make a huge improvement. It really brings the gun in closer to my body and now there's no printing whatsoever. I couldn't be happier about this add-on, and would highly recommend it to anyone with a LIGHTTUCK. Thank you Vedder!
Claw!
Claw was easy to install. Must have with longer handle guns.
Light Tuck Claw
I've been using the Light Tuck holsters for many years; I have five or six of them and carry using one every day. The addition of the Claw makes the holster even better.
LIGHTTUCK™ KYDEX IWB saved by this key piece
Last December I called to customer service asking for this solution for appendix carry. The lady on the phone told me "we will have a claw in January". End of story, I received it today, already installed and Vedder got I happy customer :-)
