Actually tried carrying my Airlight using a clipdraw, TWICE no less. After it came lose in a restaurant and I had to carefully walk to the bathroom with my elbow clamped to my side to keep the gun from clunking on the floor, I learned my lesson and took the damn thing off. It allowed my gun to shift around easily and work it's way up off my belt and become lose. Some people swear by them but after my experience, no way. |

IIRC: If I recall correctly YMMV: Your mileage may vary You are not accepting Instant Messages. I have a Clip Draw on my 1911, my XD45, my Baby Desert Eagle and my GP100. The most important thing I have to say about it is that you MUST have a sturdy belt to use it correctly! A regular dress belt will work as poorly as it would with any holster -- maybe even worse! I use the ClipDraw almost exclusively now, and I am one who has reported positively on both the SmartCarry and the Crossbreed holsters. It DOES shift somewhat. I like it because it makes it possible to shift the wearing position almost anywhere on my belt. Also, it gives a VERY close fit: closer than any I can imagine using any kind of holster. Now, be aware too, that I'm pretty stout: at 5'10" and 280 pounds I have a pretty pronounced beer belly. That makes it easier for me to CCW with a XD45. The 1911s have a ClipDraw that has a plate that attaches under the right grip panel. All others have the tape-on type of attachment. The tape has never given me ANY trouble. |
Those are on a 1911. Go to the website and you will see where it says it uses velcro. |

www.clipdraw.com/ maybe for a revolver, but not too much on anything else; preferably, get a good, dedicated holster recent topics: www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=5&f=13&t=48139 www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=5&f=13&t=50008 |
Maybe you shouldn't comment on what you "bet" happens if you don't try it out for yourself.  PERSONALLY SPEAKING......I tried the Clipdraw out on my 239 because my Sparks VM II was adding too much thickness and here in Vegas during the summer, you don't have too many clothing options other than t-shirts and shorts for Vegas summers. I am 5-11 and 210lbs and I found that my 239 in the holster was "printing a little too much under most t-shirts. Here is what I found: The tape that is included in the Clipdraw universal kit is tough as shit. My 239 is DA/SA so I am not worried about the trigger getting snagged while inside my pants/shorts. If you tighten down your belt pretty good you shouldn't have any movement of the pistol, at least I haven't noticed any. After installation, I test fired 40 or 50 rounds before I carried it just to be sure and had no problems. I have carried extensively with it for several months now and absolutely love the clipdraw  I guess you can listen to the usual whining back and forth here on ARFCOM of the internet ninjas who don't even use whatever product you are asking about, or you can actually try it for yourself after listening to people who have used them
