I have tried a few different ones, but the FAB Defense brace has been my favorite. It fits well and feels durable even after a rough day at the range.

I’ve heard mixed reviews about the FAB Defense brace. Some say it’s comfortable, while others find it a bit too bulky. How does it compare in terms of weight?

I’ve found the SB Tactical braces to be a solid choice too. They’re lightweight and quite versatile. Just avoid anything that feels flimsy!

I think it’s important to balance durability with weight. Sometimes heavier braces can be more durable but harder to manage.
