Most consumers nowdays would seem to prefer clips on a holster. Loops are much better and well worth the time required to thread them onto a belt. I have hit the pavement several times hard enough to dislodge phones, radios, keyrings, Maglights, etc. that were clipped to a belt but I have never yet had a pistol depart my person because mine are always looped onto a heavy belt. Clips will let you down eventually and losing your gun on a crowded street is something you never want to experience.
