Does anyone have any experience with comp-tac's C-clips? if so, what are your opinions? i like the idea of hiding the clips a little better, but how do they hold up?
worth it? |
| I have the c-clips and they are very durable and work extremely well. The only problem is that you are limited to certain sized belts based upon the size c-clip you order. If you're ok with wearing the same belt (or a belt with the same height) then the c-clips are great. I think they are the best option. |

I do like the c-clips. They're very discreet and I feel that they hold the holster in position on my belt better than the standard clips.
However, they do take a little longer to put on/remove/adjust as you'll have to remove your belt to do any of those things. It's a fair trade off, in my opinion. |
| I don't care for them. I originally ordered my MTAC with C-clips. There is still a substantial portion of the clip visible both above and below the belt. They are equally as visible/noticeable as standard clips in my opinion. Later when I bought a stiffer belt, I found that the top of the rear clip would not stay on the belt. The stiffness of the belt created a larger space between me and the belt just behind my hip (I'm really skinny). Since the top of the C-clip does not curve downward, the clip would just slip down into that space supported only by my pants and then jab me in the back. I ordered some standard clips and have been happy ever since. |

The top of mine curve down over the belt probably a 1/4" or so, same as the bottom. I couldn't force my belt to come out of the clip through the front without damaging either the clip or the belt. |

I have had older ones that I needed to heat, and shape a little more; otherwise they would pop off from time to time. Newer clips, I haven't had any issues. |

Maybe TurboVolute was referring to the older style then. I've only had my c-clips since March of this year. |

I hadn't thought of reshaping them, but I like the standard clips better anyway. ETA: I checked the website. They have been improved. They now curl over the top of the belt a little bit and they also have five screw holes. My old clips had only three holes which was another reason why I didn't care for them as much. |
