Has anyone tried theCLIPDRAW belt/holster clip? I was thinking of trying one out on my Colt Defender. How's the gun retention if you are moving about vigorously? What are the downsides to it? For the price, around $20, I thought I'd give it a whirl. Thanks

Sorry about that last post. I am new to this forum. I have used the clipdraw on a government model for many years. I was always very impressed with how well it worked. I can see that "love handles" probably help with retention. hangfar
 
I tried one for a while on a 1911A1. It was OK except that if you had a malfunction it got in the way of racking the slide. I never had a malfunction, but I always check that sort of thing out just in case.

IMO better than 'Mexican', not nearly as good as a good (Milt Sparks) holster, makes some sense on iddy-biddy guns, not for 1911's.

I tried one once on a .380 pony I had. It held very well but I always worried because it was too exposed to perspiration. With a hard chromed gun or one of the new coatings like armor tuff or equivilant that wouldn't be too much of a problem, but with blueing or even stainless it could be a problem.(RUST) Course now if ya lived in the Artic then I don't think sweat would be a big problem. And you're right Hangfar, love handles do help with retention! LOL!!

I have one on a G19, and a S&W640. Both work fine for casual carry. It is not a substitute for a good holster.
 
I've used the clipdraw quite a bit (know the folks that make them...so). I like it, but agree that it isn't a replacement for a holster. The good news is that most holsters are cut in such a way as to allow the clipdraw to remain on the gun.

Problems? The weapon shifts regardless of how tight the belt is. This is just the physics of the design and nothing can help it.

That's about it. It is a great little add-on but there are drawbacks. Get one and you won't be sorry. Just don't expect it to be that miracle cure.

P.S. while your there, get yourself a Woodsman's Pal. This is the greatest machete/bushax to ever come down the pike. If you have brush needing cleared, poles needing cut....whatever....you'll like how the Pal performs. Excellent balance, great edge-retention. Fantastic stuff.
