Besides the weight of the gun the holster doesn’t have much of a physical footprint. My general thoughts about the Brave Response Holster is it is very light and low profile. It features no can’t and only one ammo pouch. My preferred holster position is around 2 o’clock.įLASH! I just learned they’ve released an appendix carry version of the Brave Response Holster. When worn with my normal clothes the holster did its job, though I found the cant made drawing from appendix carry a little awkward.
This is a significant concern in hotter areas. The pad the holster is sewn to is made of a breathable fabric which didn’t promote a hot spot on one’s body. I wore the holster almost daily but primarily when I got home and put on gym shorts to lounge around the house. I do not have this problem with the Brave Response Holster. A gun slapping against one’s body tends to draw ones hand to hold the gun flush against your body which is a “tell” experienced concealed carry practitioners detest. “Floppy gun” is when your gun gives you a slight pat during vigorous movement. During vigorous movement I’d get a little of the “floppy gun” syndrome. Also, I’m forever uneasy with the ability of the elastic to keep the gun securely against my skin. My number one complaint was the elastic used for the holster pocket squeezes the gun out of the holster over time. I’ve owned several belly bands that never left me satisfied. Holsters require support to keep that chunk of steel secure. A belly band is a must for loose unstructured clothing wear (consider the gym or lounging at home) as well as the long car ride. While not being a belly band holster fan, I recognize I needed a holster that would carry my gun when I wasn’t wearing belted trousers or shorts. My wife stole it a month ago though, so I have at least three months of observations to share. The holster is washable and available in any color as long as you want black.īrave Response Holsters were kind enough to send me a holster to review and I’ve been using it for several months. There’s also three magazine pouches around the holster, two in front, one behind. The holster features a removable thumb break. The Brave Response holster differs visually from the most belly bands in that the strap is narrower and attached to a padded, semi rigid platform on to which a holster is sewn at a slight forward cant.
Doing so risks floppy gun syndrome or worse, the dropped gun. You simply can’t clip a gun securely to pants/shorts that don’t have a belt. Think carrying a gun with loosely structured clothes like workout shorts, sweatpants, yoga pants where a gun in a holster doesn’t have a belt to support it. They are secured closed with Velcro and have the advantage of being low profile and NOT requiring a belt. The belly band is a must have for anyone who commits to carrying a gun all the time and the Brave Response Holster is the best belly band holster I’ve seen.īelly band holsters tend to be a four to six-inch-wide surgical grade elastic with a holster pocket sewn into it. I’m not a belly band fan but I also have been carrying for a couple of decades and learned long ago you need multiple holsters to always be able to carry. The Belly Band! Why would I want that? Look I get it.
The Brave Response Holster is a unique take on the belly band. No matter what holster(s) you own, you must have the Brave Response Holster in your holster wardrobe. A fundamental part of intelligent behavior is planning. Planning is thinking about a goal and then organizing the activities to achieve the goal. With a plan, you can see how much you have progressed towards your goal and how far on your map to the next destination.
