clipdraw and you

[craig_o]

for those of you who use clipdraw, how often do you use it instead of your conventional holster and what do you use it with?

good for all situations?

I use it on my glock 26 all the time

 

[Dan-O]

I use one on a Charter Arms .44 Special, and my Ruger SP101 .357 hammerless.

I can't think of a better option for revolver carry for my needs. Never had an accidental discharge. Extremely comfortable, and half the time forget they are there.

I have the universal models which come with the double sided tape. It is wicked strong.

I have them on my S&W 340 M&P 640. Also my Glock 36, 23, and 19C.

They are an excellent mode of carry and have replaced the pocket holster for my two Smith revolvers. The 340 virtually disappears under an untucked polo shirt.

Is it possible (or safe) to wear it between the pants and belt? I ask because having a gun in my pants with me has proven to be very uncomfortable.

You do realize that when you carry in the waist band whether it is in a holster or with a clip you need to increase the size of your pants accordingly. With a clip you can use only slightly larger pants, but you will need some good underwear, or a long tail shirt. Without it, you will rub yourself raw.

I use it with a jframe and have with a Para companion.

Get some long (tall?) tshirts from Pennys. I liked it when riding a bicycle. Then used 2 tshirts-one tucked one covering.

I use it on my 50 BMG...I have to wear REALLY big pants though

 

[Pat Cannon]

I just this week got a decent holster for my Ruger SP101; I've been using the ClipDraw for a year or so.

Around camp, in sweats without a belt ect.

See alot of folks using clip-draws on their Glocks, without anything covering the trigger guard, isn't anybody afraid they're going to put a hole where they really don't want one...? Carrying with the chamber empty, or just hoping for the best..?

For Glock carry you do need to be wary of the trigger. You can either spend $20.00 for the Clip Draw Saf-T-Block device or $49.99 for the Lone Wolf Side Lock. They both work equally as well for their intended purpose. The Saf-T-Block is a stand alone device that blocks the rearward movement of the trigger and allows you to place a small padlock through the device during storage. The Saf-T-Block is also more evident that it is there when you move your finger to the trigger. The Lone Wolf Side Lock is a button on the side of the trigger that blocks the trigger's operation. On the right handed Side Lock you push it from left to right to activate and right to left to deactivate. Pretty simple and, since it is a part of the trigger assembly you cannot lose it. Using either device requires that you practice with them (in a safe enviroment) as their placement on the trigger or inside of the trigger guard makes them counter intuitive for those of us who grew up with slide mounted manual safeties.

I use my two 99.9% of the time. One on a Kahr P9 and the other replaced the factory clip (Which broke off!) on a Kel-Tec P3AT. I tried one on an XD .45 compact but I'm too used to the slim Kahr, the XD is just too fat to be comfy for EDC... It works quite well bedside.

 

[texas bulldog]

i just bought one of these for an SP101 after the holster i thought was gonna work perfectly...didn't...again.

a whole lot of folks on THR seem to rail against holster-less carry as unsafe. it seems that the clipdraw address some of those concerns but not all of them.

anyone here care to comment on the relative safety (or lack thereof) of carrying a revolver with an admittedly heavy trigger pull using a clipdraw? it is my intent to use it as my EDC rig.

love to have your thoughts...

Had one on a S&W M66 2 ½”, carried it in the appendix forward position. Worked great.

 

[semperfi.45]

I have one on my G27 that I wear at AIWB with a Saf-T-Block. The Glock is a little thick for comfy IWB. I am waiting on an Alessi APX for my 442. If that doesn't work, I'll get a CD for it.

 

[eagle45]

I use one on my SP 101 frequently. If I choose to carry it in my Don Hume holster instead, the clip draw does not get in the way.

3" Model 60 with Clipdraw. Works well for me.
