anyone using a Bravo Concealment kydex holster?

[brickboy240]

I searched around here and other forums but could not find much info on these guys or their wares.

Anyone using one of their holsters? Are they of the quality of, say Raven? (I have a Phantom for my G19 and like it)

I say this because I was looking into getting another OWB holster and this company is located in my state and I try to support businesses in my state if I can.

Any opinions....either way....would be appreciated. I cannot find anyone that owns a holster from these guys and their stuff looks pretty good.

Thanks,

I had one for OWB with my M&P Shield. It felt completely unbalanced when the pistol was holstered. It sat too high above the belt loops and was very top-heavy with no way for me personally to adjust it. I bought it because Raven had a crazy wait time on the Phantom for the Shield at the time. I sold it soon after because I hated how it carried, and then ordered a Raven Phantom which I love and carries very well. I had a Phantom for my G19 before I bought the Bravo holster, and while the fit and finish was great on the Bravo, I am still partial to my Raven holsters. They just tend to hold the gun tighter to my body in OWB carry. Just my opinion.

Comp Tac is a great company, short wait time, big operation and located in Texas.

[brickboy240]

Yes...Comp Tac was going to be my next choice. I have a few friends that have them and like their wares.

I have one for a 226, and It has worked great for me. One thing is as it came, the retention was pretty tight. That's easy to fix, but something to note. I have two friends who are big fans and have a few each. I got mine based on their recommendation, and it's fine. I wouldn't say they are way better, or worse than a lot of the other makers out there. I just bought an RDR holster to try, and I can compare them when it shows up.

I looked at bravo, but decided to go other routes. I did have a comptac ctac for a while and loved it.

I have been using and am very satisfied with my kydex holsters from these guys : http://www.blackpointtactical.com/

I have a Bravo for a G17 w/ a TLR1. The retention was very loose and the kydex seems pretty flimsy. I have had much better luck with Raven and Fury Carry Solutions.

[bullittmcqueen]

I use Bravo for appendix carry and really like them. 1 is for a Shield and another is for a Glock 19. For OWB I had a Bravo and Raven and ended up choosing the Raven because the retention just felt better.

I have a couple and have been pleased with their products. I picked up the first a couple years ago for a Walther PPQ because of the price point and short wait time. It is an OWB, wears well, fits the gun well and I used it in a 2 day Vickers class without problems. I recently picked up a used Bravo holster from our EE for a G19. It has belt loops for OWC and J-Hooks for IWB carry. I've not spend any time on the range or CCW with it yet. No complaints overall..............................hope this helps.

I have one for my HK45 w/Surefire X300. Fit is great. Good retention. Have run/jumped/slid/rappelled with it. Works great, I would buy one again.

It is my training holster when I'm not in full duty gear.

[Cap'n Crash]

I occasionally use one with an M&P9 with TLR1 for hunting or hiking. It does sit pretty high, as others have mentioned. I adjusted retention (too tight at first) quite easily. While I had my heat gun out for adjusting the retention, I also heated the corners at the belt loops and adjusted them to my hip contour. This made the holster/pistol fit much closer to my body. It's quite decent for the price and availability.

Food for OP thought....do you prefer taco for OWB? If so both Bravo and Raven don't offer one

[brickboy240]

I think I am just going to go ahead and order my second Raven Phantom.

Yes..it is more money but I know of it's quality and durability.

In the kydex world...I think it is very hard to beat the Raven Concealment Phantoms.

NM, found what I was looking for….

[MountainRaven]

As an owner of over $500 worth of Raven gear, I am sorely disappointed with the direction that they are going, especially since they no longer offer light bearing holsters for ANY pistol outside of the Glock/M&P line. This has me taking a very hard look at the Bravo line for my HK w/SF X300….

Whatchu talkin' about, Willis?

[Vandal]

RCS doesn't have many light bearing other than Glock, M&P and 1911 in their Quick Ship line but they will certainly make you a holster for what ever application they have a mold for. They'll keep earning my cash as long as their quality and responsiveness to customers doesn't go downhill.

[LowSpeed_HighDrag]

I had no idea they had two stores. Everytime I googled Raven Concealment it gave me the following link:

I take back my previous comments and am now ordering a new RCS holster! Thanks gents. Mea Culpa RCS.

ETA: this is why I miss Tom. Tom was the man over there, and answered all of my stupid questions right away. He even sent me free gear numerous times while I was deployed and when I got home.

[SeriousStudent]

Agreed. Tom is a great dude, and I definitely wish him the best.

For OWB, I'm a huge fan of Raven Concealment and Dark Star Gear. Both have worked extremely well for me and my kin.

For IWB, my go-to is either a Milt Sparks Versa-Max II or a Comp-Tac MTAC. Both offer all-day comfort. The Comp-Tac is considerably easier and faster to purchase.
