That was nice and much-appreciated (though it also likely cuts down on negative reviews showing up anywhere) more importantly, Jacob said that my e-mails were forwarded to his design folks, as they're working on a 2nd-generation holster that might be more conducive to what and how I (and others on WT) carry. of USA Firearm Training, who makes/markets the holster, and he quickly and cheerfully refunded my money and sent me a prepaid return label, so this entire effort ended up costing me nothing but time. I had the holster on for a total of about 30 seconds.and I immediately knew it wouldn't work for me.īottom-line, the current Brave Holster's design does not lend itself to right-hand appendix carry of full-sized pistols with tall suppressor sights for the reasons stated above.įor the record, I exchanged a few e-mails with Jacob P. Using the right-hand appendix carry position, the bottom-right corner of the pad - the side under that single mag "pouch" - sits right ON (and pushes into) the right inguinal crease. (I guess I got too used to the minimalist holsters like the Zaccheus, the NPE, the Fixxxer and the Raven Vanguard II, all of which move with me)ģ. Right-hand appendix carry would dictate - for my not-so-flat stomach - a vertical or slight backward cant at the 12:30-1:00 o'clock position, with the slide most comfortable when angled somewhere between vertical and parallel with my inguinal crease (the line formed where the thigh meets the torso) the non-adjustable forward cant built into the Brave Response Holster did not feel very comfortable to me. I think this would also be the case for the G17 however, my G19 slide (also RMR'd and with tall suppressor sights) remained inside the elasticized cloth, so this would be a non-issue.Ģ.
I everyday-carry a Suarez International Glock 34 with an RMR and tall suppressor sights the front sight extended past the bottom of the holster opening, not allowing a smooth draw due to the front sight getting snagged on the cloth. one to the right of the gun and two to the left), a removable thumb-break, and is probably very comfortable.but, as I wrote to the company that makes it (and copy/pasted that response below, with some additional commentary), this is why I asked to return it:ġ.
It's well-built, well-engineered, has 3 mag-like pouches (for mags, flashlight, knife, etc. I recently ordered and evaluated the Brave Response Holster after reading and seeing lots of hype about it and, if I were still a non-S.I., non-RMR'd, non-appendix-carry person, I'd probably rave about it and strongly recommend it. In those days, the material often wasn't comfortable for long-term carry, canting was unheard of and Velcro was in its infancy and didn't last long, anyway. Moderators: please move this thread to a better sub-forum if the one I chose wasn't optimal for the contents.īack in the old days of nylon Uncle Mike's "non-specific" holsters, a person down in FL came up with what he called "ThunderWear" (which morphed into SmartCarry - the true "crotch holster") and someone else came up with what's now called a "belly band." With the belly band, one could place their holster under the armpit or at the belt level, or anywhere in-between.
