The Gun and Holster Used
My daily carry weapon (in the winter months) is a Glock 27 Gen 4 ($540), 100% stock.  In the Summer, I use a thinner .380 because…let’s face it, the double stack magazine makes for a thicker gun than most .380s.

Initial Impression
When I opened the shipping box, my first impression was all smiles. The holster and the mag pouch were in oversized packaging that really showed off the products.  Shipping may be more cost effective to throw them in some bubble wrap and toss them in a flat rate USPS envelope, but Bravo Concealment didn’t do that. To me, it showed that they give a crap about how their product looks and that they aren’t just some dude in his basement making holsters in a toaster oven on the weekends.Old Holster vs. New Holster
The Standout Features
Holding the holster for the first time, I could feel they used a little thicker Kydex than my other holsters.  It didn’t flex easily.
Appendix Carrying
Since this is my first foray into appendix carrying with the Glock 27, I was a unsure how it would go.  I would sometimes carry my Bodyguard .380 appendix style, but that’s a much smaller gun and not a good comparison. Overall, the holster was as comfortable as you’d expect crammed in the front of your pants.  Surprisingly, it didn’t really dig into my ‘area’ too much.  The holster sits just high enough out of the waistband to not jab anything important when I sit down.
Making Adjustments
As I mentioned above, the IWB holster sat just right for an appendix carry and I didn’t need to make any changes.  There is a small amount of adjustment, if you need it; you can raise it higher out of your waistband if needed.
The Belt Clips
When I mentioned the clips were almost too good, I mean these things hold on. Â The way they are made, they are not going to release when you draw your weapon, even if it is an awkward draw and you need to jiggle or yank it from the holster.
Mag Pouch
The mag pouch was a good quality and it held the loaded standard 9 round and extended 11 round magazines tight. Â I liked that the pouch had a tension screw so you can adjust it to your liking.
A Nice Surprise
Conclusion
Overall, I am really happy with the Bravo Concealment’s IWB Kydex Gun Holster.

Great article. Interesting. I'm researching a holster for my G5-19.. I'm not "thin" so comfortability is important. My love handles tend to pinch. I love ISW carry.... would NEVER consider "appendicks" carry....especially with my gut. LOL.
How is the holster now that you've had some time on it? Any new changes?
Anyone have a recommendation for us "beefy" guys?
