Clip Draw opinions?

[6cyclone6]

Are any of you guys clip draw users past or present? what are your general opinions, likes or dislikes. Specificaly in reference to glocks if that makes a difference to anyone. As I try different cc holsters and methods I wonder how secure/safe a clip draw is for daily cc. thanks for any and all opinions!

I like a holster that protects the trigger.

I know papa likes his. It's not for me though. I too need a holster that covers the trigger guard. Especially when drawing under duress. With that said, it has a place in deep concealment.

This.

the no trigger cover part is what makes me nervous, however glocks are kinda thick and I like the idea of not making it thicker.

I would rather carry a thicker gun than shoot myself because I snagged my exposed trigger on something.

I would only use a clip draw on something with a manual safety, like a 1911 or something else.

if you must have a clip, go to www.ravenconcealment.com, there is a "holster" that only covers the trigger guard to protect against a negligent discharge, and can be tied to a belt loop, etc, so that when drawing, the guard pops off allowing acess to trigger. Just my .02

+1 I'm not comfortable with a carry method that leaves the trigger exposed-especially with a Glock or an SA auto without a grip safety.

^^This^^ I use it every day.The smallest IWB holster I have found and I love it.

If you must use the "Clipdraw", please take a look into this.

The Zack, is a Kydex trigger cover for the Glock trigger. It has a piece
of para cord that you put around a belt loop which will automatically disengage the Zack when it is drawn.

See the Zack here: http://www.onesourcetactical.com/zackconcealmentholster.aspx

You couldn't pay me to carry a Glock with a ClipDraw. That's a disaster waiting to happen.

I know this is a ridiculous question coming from the most experienced and proficient shooter here on the forum, but what is a "clip draw"?

Pretty much agree totally on this one. If you carry in CONDITION 3 however, its doable.

However, a smaller pistol, with a LONG DA action such as the Kel Tec PF-9 is an absolute dream to carry with the clip and I never even worry about the trigger being exposed. IMO its the most comfortable and concealable way to carry this particular model.

I personally have used the Glock Clip Draw and I WAS CONSTANTLY thinking about the trigger being exposed and something getting in there. In CONDITION 1, its not worth it IMO.

A belt clip that mounts directly to the pistol in lieu of a holster.

OH, HELL NO! I was offered a Kel-Tec PF11 for $200 and it had one of those clips on it. I hate those things. ANYTHING can get caught on the trigger and blow a hole in my foot.

No way. Uh-uh. Not me.

 

[Leadfoot]

I would have taken the P11 with the belt clip and carried it until the cows come home.

Or, just take it off. No offense to you Dave, but I'd take a 9mm Kel Tec over your new carry pistol any day of the week and I often wondered why you didn't look at the Kel Tec's as they are great bargains for the money and absolutely reliable.
