When it comes to everyday carry, comfort and concealment matter just as much as reliability. That’s why I run the Bravo Concealment Torsion Gun Holster every single day. It’s my go-to for my Glock 19, and after years of trying different setups, I’ve found what works best for me. In this blog, I’ll walk you through how I wear it, why I prefer certain configurations, and what might work best for you depending on your lifestyle and preferences.
Quick Brush Over: What is Torsion Technology™?
The Torsion IWB holster rides close to the body due to our patented Torsion Technology™ This takes the gun and cants or twists it towards your body for maximum concealment. This also creates less material on the backside of the holster for a more comfortable fit while also perfectly fitting your gun.
Why I Prefer the Single Belt Clip Configuration
I run my Torsion holster with a single belt clip, which means, I remove the slide-side belt clip and only run the trigger-side belt clip. If you follow Bravo on social media you’ve probably seen this setup before. The main reason I choose the single clip is because it’s simply easier for me to conceal.
I carry appendix 90% of the time, and this configuration works perfectly for that. It keeps the holster slim and easy to adjust throughout the day. For example, when I sit down, I can easily nudge it into a more comfortable position. That flexibility makes a big difference, especially if you're moving around a lot during the day.
Some folks don’t like touching or adjusting their holster after they put it on — and that’s fine. If that sounds like you, a dual belt clip might be the better option for added stability. But I’ve been running this single clip setup for about eight years, ever since our first DOS holster came out, and I’ve never had an issue with retention or the gun shifting around. It just works.
How I Dress for Concealment
Another key part of concealed carry is how you dress. I’m not wearing oversized hoodies or baggy clothes — I keep it simple which is usually a t-shirt or a polo style shirt. That works really well for me. I can hide the grip of the gun, especially when I cant the holster slightly forward. That angle helps tuck the grip in close to my body and minimizes printing.
With this setup, I can go about my day without anyone knowing I’m carrying. Whether I’m walking, driving, or shopping — I’m concealed and comfortable.
Strong Side Carry and Other Positions
You can also run the Torsion gun holster on your strong side. You can shift it into position around the 3 o’clock area if appendix isn’t your thing. Personally, I don’t love carrying directly at 3 o’clock — there’s too much natural curvature in that part of the body, which can cause the gun to stick out a bit.
If I’m not running appendix, I prefer carrying at the 4 or 5 o’clock position. That area is flatter and just makes concealment easier for me. Again, it all comes down to personal preference and body type — try different positions and find what works for you.
The Dual Belt Clip Setup
Now, let’s talk about the dual belt clip (standard) set-up. Every Torsion holster comes with two clips by default. The dual belt clip set-up is a solid option. If you're running appendix with two belt clips, you may need to adjust your belt buckle position slightly over to make space for both clips.
The dual clips lock the holster into place — it won’t shift or move, which is great if you want a “set it and forget it” feel. The Torsion Technology™ still does its job here, pulling the grip of the gun inward toward the body for better concealment.
The only tradeoff is that you can’t reposition it as easily on the fly. But the added stability can be worth it, especially if you're doing more physical activity throughout the day.
Making Adjustments: Forward Cant
One trick I like to use is adjusting the belt clips to give the holster a forward cant. By moving the slide-side clip up, or the trigger guard clip down, the holster angles slightly forward, which improves concealment of the grip
This works really well whether you're carrying appendix or strong side. It tucks the grip into your body and makes the gun more accessible. Plus, it’s a super easy adjustment that can make a big difference in daily carry comfort.
Final Thoughts
At the end of the day, concealed carry isn’t one-size-fits-all. The way I carry works great for me, but it might not be your perfect fit — and that’s okay. Whether you go with a single clip or dual clip, appendix, strong-side or 5 o'clock position, the key is to experiment and see what feels most comfortable and natural for your body and daily routine.
The Bravo Concealment Torsion Holster is incredibly versatile thanks to its patented torsion design, and it offers enough customization to suit nearly any carry style. So if you're still figuring out your EDC setup, I highly recommend giving it a try.
