A Message From The Owner Of Bravo Concealment
We know you have been waiting patiently for new gun type options. We would like to apologize for the long wait and assure you that we are constantly working around the clock to expand our holster options.
As you may already know, we have discontinued our “custom” line of gun holsters. This is largely due to the fact, that our lead times were growing larger and larger. Although, some of the “garage” holster companies may think this is a good problem to have; we do not feel that is the case. Well, initially, yes; but as a company grows larger in daily sales, so does the overhead. This can kill a company’s profit margins in the end. This is an example of why you will see some Kydex companies selling holsters for close to $100 or more! A 3-month lead time is a company’s silent killer. It’s just like having too much stock and you simply can’t move the products fast enough.
Anyway, enough of the business lesson. We have designed a new manufacturing process we call AMP (Advanced Manufacturing Process). It incorporates CNC machines, CAD/CAM designs, 3D scanning and advanced engineering. All this creates the aluminum molds we use to make your holsters. Though the process is quite impressive, it is slower than simply taking a “blue gun” and squishing 2 pieces of hot Kydex to make a sub-par mold. But, with our new manufacturing process, once the mold is made, the AMP allows us to make high quality, consistent holsters at a very fast pace.
We have put all our efforts in creating a larger AMP line with more options. Again, we ask you to be patient. Ultimately, this process is made to benefit you, our customers. With AMP we will be able to offer you better prices and meet our goal of “In-Stock” holsters with same day shipping. We thank you for your patience and your business. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, we have the best customers in the business. We thank you for all you’ve done and we owe it all to you.
Thanks Again,
Rene Aguirre

Ordered my first BC holster for M&P 9 a few weeks ago. Really impressed with fit and finish so I ordered another for the Shield, both with mag holders. Hope to see an FDE option for the M&P 2.0 9mm w/ 5-1/2 barrel soon!! Thanks!
When are you going to provide products for left handers again?
Growing pains are tough. However, customer service is always the key. I know when I visited the day after Thanksgiving this last year, the personal service and attention that I received confirmed my choice for future purchases. You all are doing the right thing!
Really appreciate the backstory – it explains a lot, and helps your customers and to-bo customers understand. I will patiently await your left-handed models, and also ordered a right-handed OWB a couple days ago so I could properly practice drawing, firing, and reholstering with my support hand!
you guys made me a custom holster for a Sig. Best holster I own and have bought many. Also, a couple of Glock 17 holsters. Keep up the good work and looking forward to the day you can get the custom holsters going. We are hanging with you buddy. We do custom furniture, feel your pain
I love bravo concealment. I’ve used holsters from a lot of companies but Bravo is a cut above everyone else. I have a holster for an HK45t with TLR-1 and get questions on it all the time. I need one for my HK45c but Bravo has changed the process but it will be worth the wait.
First I would like to say Thank You. You are still making the products that people like myself want. I was previously a fan of Raven Concealment but they have changed dramatically in order to focus on Government and Industry Contracts. They dropped some of their models and I think their current product line is less than desirable. I understand where you are headed and the needs of your company. You have come a long way and have improved your products. However, I am a little disappointed with the closing of your custom shop. I understand that this is a necessary evil in order to compete in the current market. I personally don’t mind the extended lead times and the premium price tag when I need something very specific and I know I’m getting a quality product. For most of my needs, your products are spot on. But when my needs require something just a little different, my only options are to either hack a holster or attempt to create my own. And let’s face it, I’m not nearly as good as you. Therefore, at least having the option would be beneficial. I hope that it becomes an option once again in the future.
I appreciate your company’s witness and character. I bought 3 holsters for my kids competitive shooting and they are top notch. Still hoping for Glock 21 holsters in the future. The one I use is good, but the fit and finish of my kids’ BC holsters is better. Keep up the good work! Brent (Isaiah 49:25)
I completely understand and appreciate the effort. I’ll wait as I really don’t want to use another product. Again as soon as you’ve got the new holsters available I’ll take one. Thanks again for your time and attention.
