    INGO what is your thoughts on Bravo concealment holsters? Mostly referring to OWB. Im not a big fan of OWB because I feel like when I am sitting in chairs my gun is being pushed up against me and its super uncomfortable. Maybe its just the OWB holster I have right now but I feel like my gun sticks out way to much. I've looked into Bravo Concealment and their OWB holsters look nice I'm just not sure if I will like it because I prefer to carry IWB. Also, their mag pouches look nice. Does anyone have a Bravo Concealment OWB holster they sport or mag pouch?

    I have a Bravo Concealment as my primary G19 carry holster. Tried it for a bit OWB, but it does hang gun out farther than I prefer. I switched it over to IWB with the loops and am much happier. It pulls the gun into me and is much easier to hide and not bang into everything I pass by or sit on.

    FYI- I learned the hard way on the second holster I ordered from Bravo. Just like Raven, unless you are good with waiting for 3 months, only order from their quick holster menu. If you need something unique, best to find a local (preferably INGO) holster maker.

    Yeah I ordered a DOS IWB holster from them a week ago and I don't think it has even shipped yet. I was thinking about getting a OWB and a mag pouch but just not sure.

    I run Bravo's double mag carrier for EDC and have another to add for competition. I'm happy with them. Like the slant cut in front.

    I don't have any Bravo Conc. holsters to rate for you, I looked at them recently while I was searching for a nice OWB setup for a CZ that I use for HD and plinking. Ultimately I came upon Black Rhino Concealment who has a very similar style as the Bravo holsters. The Black Rhino's mold most of the firearm on the outer kydex think 80-90% and the part up against body is the 10-20% mold. This keeps the pistol in nice and tight. Add in the pancake clips as well as a good firm belt and this holster is very snug against body. As a bonus, from order to delivery was 5 days. Including weekend!

    I have a couple of the Bravo BCA OWB holsters and they are +1 IMHO. Build quality and materials are excellent. Fit is great. I have one for M&P Shield and one for XD Mod.2. I can't say about any other gun models but I wouldn't expect any others to be substandard.

    Is it the BCA holster you changed to iwb? I have thought about trying that with mine. How comfortable is it?

    All I have worn for the past 8-9 years is kydex IWB with soft loops. Michael at Raven sold me at the 1500 telling me the only thing thinner was Mexican carry. I think they are plenty comfy, but some folks have issues with adapting to carrying a full sized gun in any holster IWB. :dunno:
