It’s also quite breathable, unlike most belly bands I’ve tried. I didn’t experience any twisting or folding. It holds the weight of the contents close to your body and distributes it well, but it’s still flexible enough to be comfortable to move around in. The Brave Response holster is one of the most, if not the most, comfortable holsters I’ve ever worn. Once again, Matt didn’t have this problem.

I suspect that my hip bone was actually pushing the gun as I moved, and once I figured out the best way to position the holster, the shifting was no longer an issue. Second, if I wore the holster too low on my hips, I noticed that the holster would shift so the gun moved closer to the center of my body as I walked around. Matt tells me this isn’t an issue with a larger build and men’s pants, since there’s more room and larger pockets to work with. However, while most belly bands are wide elastic bands with pockets in the elastic to hold your firearm and magazines, the band of the Brave Response holster is only 2” wide.įront pockets are already tiny in women’s jeans, but this holster renders them unusable. Like most belly bands, the Brave Response holster secures around the wearer’s hips or waist with an elastic band. So, without any further delay, let’s talk about the holster itself! Construction & Materials Like me, he wore the holster for a few days while going about normal, day-to-day activities. Since I have a smaller-than-average body type, I also drafted normally sized human and fellow Pew Pew Tactical writer, Matthew Collins, to help me out with this review by giving me some feedback on how this holster works on more average bodies. I used a full-sized 1911 to test functionality, too, for those who like to carry a full-sized weapon. After all, it’s one of the most popular CCWs and a gun I use as a CCW with some frequency. The Original Brave Response Holster stands up to concealing a full-sized handgun like the 1911.įor my tests, I carried a Glock 19.
