There is a reason for that, I was always taught (and assume a lot of Arfcom regulars were as well) that you want a sturdy holster that covers your trigger and allows for a full grip before un-holstering. The clip-draws I have seen do not allow that. Usually the trigger is exposed and the clip allows the gun to sit so low in your waist band that a full grip is difficult. |
| i can get a full grip on my pistol using the clip draw. but you are right the trigger is exposed and i have to admit sometimes my ccw feels like its about to fall out of my pants but its not. i would trade it for a good holster but hard to find a good 1 that fits you and is concealable/some what comfortable. |

Holsters are like cars, no one model is perfect for everybody and not everything will meet your specific needs. I personally prefer summer comfort style holsters. Galco and Milt Sparks are the first two manufacturers that come to mind for this style. But some do not like IWB carry so that style does not work for them. I hate to tell you this but you are probably going to have to try a few different holsters out before finding the perfect one for you. Don’t look at it as a hassle, but rather part of the fun of CCW.

funny you mention this but yesterday i was reading about clip draws on glocks....virtually everyone who used one says its the most comfortable way to ccw, they went on to say the rest of the big dollar holsters are religated to the shelf.... 
If there was ever a pistol you want the trigger covered, it would be a glock. |

I know 0 people who carry with a quickdraw clip |

I carry my Sig P-225 every day in the office with a clip draw. The trigger guard is concealed inside my waistband . It sits right at the 3:00 position, as I am fond of my nuts, and would not consider endagering them. I find it very comfortable, and secure, though it's got to be removed before a bathroom "sit down" session.

If money was the issue, I'd rather carry in one of those dirt-cheap generic Uncle Mike clip-on IWB holsters than use a Clip Draw... +1. In fact, that's precisely what I did years ago when unable to afford a nicer holster. I don't like carry modes where a pistol with chambered round has an unprotected trigger. Since I CCW a Glock frequently, that holds even more true. |
