Title says it all. I slide my G17 into the holster with no light, and it rattles around.
I've tightened all the screws, read the instructions, and the damn thing is hella loose.
The screws on the belt slip on / off paddles are constantly coming loose. I have to tighten them daily.
Some fuzzy velcro should stop the rattling and I guess some "Lock Tight" will fix the screws. Should I have to "MacGyver" a brand new holster to fit my weapon? I guess I have to with this one.
Hi Nolan,
Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, there is no retention on a light-bearing holster when trying to holster a gun without the light, since the retention is set on the light itself.
As for the hardware; recommend adding Loctite to your hardware if you run the same belt loops to avoid those coming off. Unfortunately, we don't use Loctite on our hardware due to changing out the belt clips/loops as an option.
If you need any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact us. We thank you for your support of Bravo Concealment holsters.
Outstanding holster; just what I have come to expect from Bravo Concealment. I especially like how tight it fits to my body — very limited printing.
Great product as always, I've been using Bravo Concealment for many years and I have never been dissappointed.
I have been using Bravo Concealment holsters for over 5 years now. I have been using the torsion iwb holsters primarily on the strong side when I carry. I recently tried appendix carry and found it a good option. I ordered the linked set and it is nice and comfortable! Give it a try! I only use BC holsters because of the quality and great customer service.
For the past five years I have been using Bravo holsters.
For the price you would think it’s a lower quality holster. That is not the case. You get a well fitted, comfortable holster with a lifetime guarantee. In addition, the Bravo staff is dedicated to helping you find the right holster for you. I highly recommend bravo concealment holsters.
The IWB Concealment wing does help reduce grip printing but with a optic attached (Holosun 509T) that prints more so I have to wear larger shirts to reduce overall printing. Despite that, overall works great, and Bravo products are much cheaper compared to the competition without the cringe many of them give me!
The BCA and Torsion holsters both work very well with my Glock 19 Gen 4. I am very happy with them.
These folks are incredible. High level of integrity. The best IWB holster I have ever carried.
Fits my gun perfectly and shipping was fast
OUTSTANDING company to honor their product even after out of warranty. I purchased this item in 2021 and it recently broke and even though I understood it would cost to repair or replace it . They still took care of it with only a delivery fee.
I’ve carried personally and professionally for over 40 years. Anybody can conceal during colder months. Warm/hot weather requires garment and holster consideration. Printing is the biggest issue. When I started using BC gear I used an IWB with two belt clips but struggled with printing. Once I added the concealment wing and reduced to one belt clip, my printing has been significantly reduced. The concealment wing is not magic as you still need to consider your frame size, weapon (grip) size, and cover garment. If you’re using BC IWB holsters then I highly recommend adding their concealment wing to your holster. It’s not a huge $ investment. You will immediately see a noticeable reduction in printing and that reduction will expand your clothing options for warmer weather.
As always personal taste and individual comfort vary between individuals so the pancake loops are not for all. That said I find they pull the holster tighter to the body - especially when wearing OWB at 3 or 4 o’clock. If you have a super small frame with limited belt space the pancake loops may not be for you. The loops definitely expand the holster foot print around your waist. Medium framed individuals and up will have no problem. Using these loops brings my OWB holster much closer to the body and helps to reduce grip and mag well printing while carrying concealed.
I received my bundle within the time frame expected and all parts were present (including the pancake loops and concealment wing order).
After 6 weeks of daily wearing the OWB holster with pancake loops, I noticed the retention was zero and it would not adjust. Upon closer inspection I saw the outer shell portion of the holster had cracked behind the trigger guard from the top of the holster to the bottom of the trigger guard. No extreme wear or testing - just my daily activities.
I contacted BC electronically, explained the problem, and submitted pictures. BC customer service responded to my electronic query in 3 calendar days, notified me they would send a replacement, and I received the replacement holster 7 days after contacting BC.
I have been using BC gear for approx 15 years so I was disappointed that one of my holsters had broken so quickly. This is my first experience with a BC product failing. The high side and reason for 5 stars is the customer service. BC stood behind the lifetime warranty.
All in all my favorite holster that I own
Holster is very nice and fits my full-size Springfield TRP 1911 perfectly! Great doing business with Bravo Concealment, super fast shipping. Will be my go-to for future purchases! Also have the IWB Holster for my TRP as well.
The paddle attachments on the OWB holster for my SigP365 and any Glock work perfectly. They attach tight and strong to any of my EDC belts and I have never had a holster come off the belt.
I have been using Bravo Concealment holsters for a while... I have the OWB for a 45 and last few years i have one for the Sig 365 that i got when Sig first put the 365 on the market.... i went back to Bravo Concealment. I like their OWB holsters...
I am not a fan of any holster right next to my skin because i don't wear a T-shirt with an over shirt.... so the OWB is perfect for me.....

Great holster. Only the thin is the clips are a little hard to put on over my belt. I would buy it again for my next IWB gun.
