I didn't realize these existed until today but while I was looking at the single stack 9mm I saw a carrying clip for sale. Looks like it just replaced the slide plate and it seems like a great idea. I've actually got one on a little keltec I toss on when I can't really carry a gun.

I'm a bit concerned though with the weight of the gun using something like that though but the convenience seems great. Anybody actually try one on a bigger gun before?

Considering trying one for my 19 or 26 and I'd like to give it a if it works but in a bit nervous, I'd defiantly like to try it if I get the smaller one

you talking about this thing?

I cannot get past the looks of it and that its attached to your gun all the time.......I had a Kydex minimalist holster made for my 26 and my 19 that just covers the middle of the gun / trigger for minimal IWB bulk

here is the 26 for example

That thing exactly!


And I've been trying the IWB thing lately, it seems more convenient and easier to hide but the big drawback is holsters. I've tried a few and it seems to want to put them in a horribly uncomfortable place or the extra bulk makes it uncomfortable to carry it where it normally would be perfect to carry

I've never seen a single clipped version before that looks quite interesting too

I can't accept the fact that there is zero trigger coverage with the clip. They make some really thin kydex holsters that cover the trigger and also protect your gun from sweat to a certain degree.

If you are going to carry a Glock with a CLIPDRAW device, THIS is the combination you seek.

I was thinking about a clip and MIC holster combo...
Any opinions on that?

No, get a holster


If it doesn't protect the trigger, it has no business holding your self defense  firearm

I agree completely..that's why I was considering it along with the use of the MIC.

Yeah, no.

The primary job of a holster is to holt the handgun securely, and keep things from entering the trigger guard.

Don't mess around with those stupid half measures, get a real holster, like the one in the second post

First question i have is does anybody know what I'd call that one in the second reply to look for?

I honestly don't have much concern about it. I did for awhile when I got this little keltec but after trying it for a little while it pretty much works the same. Trigger is blocked off by your clothes and body. Same level as a belt holster. I'm leaning hard toward picking up a 43 (i think that's the new one) for the times when I realy can't carry a bigger gun and replacing my little .380 or giving it to the wife.

The SAF-T-BLOCK blocks the trigger and pops out when you index the frame when you draw.

Those are a terrible idea when there are things like trigger guard clips that don't require you to dick around with the trigger to make your gun functional.



And even these are nowhere near as good as an actual holster.

I'll stick to my Comp-Tac MTAC.



Carrying without a holster is just asking for issues in my opinion. I've seen those trigger guard covers come off before. Just a bad idea all the way around.

I don't carry 100% of the time because of the environment I fortunately inhabit. My G27 is equipped with a ClipDraw spring and a trigger condom (as seen above).  This works great for my use.  Condom is very secure and in the event I only have one hand available to operate the pistol, I can pop it off with the gun hand or rake it off on whatever is available for raking.  I can also secure the lanyard go a belt loop so that it can pop off the condom with a sharp tug on drawing.  

This works great in my situation.  If I have to venture in a place were I need to carry, it just tucks in and the spring clip (while not as retentive as a Crossbreed) holds the 27 amazingly securely. I can also easily shift from, say 4:00 to appendix easily if need arises. I also like set up because it adds no more width to my fat little 27 and is safe enough to toss in duffle or backpack pocket.

These actually aren't bad at all.  If it's too damn hot, or I'm running someplace after getting off work & cannot lug my MTAC around all day, these MIC units work quite well.  But a MIC plus the clip is halfway to the cost of a nice hybrid.  So, either get the quick and dirty option of the MIC (still a good choice, IMO), or get an MTAC.



The only firearm I feel comfortable carrying with JUST a clip is an old J-frame with a Barami Hip-Clip.  And only then because of a 12 lb. DA, and the fact that the cylinder must also rotate in order for it to fire.  I wouldn't feel comfortable AT ALL relying on just a clip for a pistol without a positive, manual safety & long trigger--like a Beretta or a USP or something.

Those IWB clips cover literally nothing.  I can't believe that 1) people actually buy this garbage and 2) a company can sell this in good conscience.

They cover the exact same as any holster. My desantis on my hip right now covers the exact same as an IWB. Those clips go inside and your pants block off the trigger completely. Just like a hip holster. They seem to be a little lower thus actually covering more than a standard holster

I think he is talking about the actual clip things...and you are talking about the MIC holster like the pic I posted earlier(also like the Raven Vanguard.
Because the clip things cover absolutely NONE of the trigger area what so ever.

The fabric of your pants doesn't count for shit. That's not true trigger protection. If you truly think that your trigger is safe because the cloth of your pants cover it your sadly mistaken. I would hate to see you learn the hard way.
