Has anyone ever tried this "clipdraw"? I'm thinking about getting one, but it looks as if it may not work.
The J-frame version screws on, as does the 1911. Did you clean all the oil off of the metal (or plastic) first?Tried it on an XD9SC, tape came off after first firing session. Glocks or Jframes, would have been great bc it screwed into the gun. Not a fan.
Without any resolution since you make these "nothing in common" statements and repeatedly fail to back up your claim.SubMOA and I have been around this block before. "Mexican carry" and the Clipdraw have very little in common.
You must wear your shirt tucked in? And I suppose underwear is mandatory too?Your clothing (your shirt, in particular) separates the pistol from your skin.
This thread is posted in the General Semi-Auto subforum but you praise its use for J-Frames and write articles saying its preferred carry for, "soft, fuzzy, warm, drawstring-top Polartec pants?" (Concealed Carry Magazine) Since according to you,My wife's J-frame and its Clipdraw stays in place quite nicely, thank you, and doesn't move around at all.
I had tried a Clipdraw with a full-size 1911 Government Model. I found it uncomfortable and awkward, mostly because it did not balance the pistol well."
So, clipdraw is not only a holster alternative but according to you it demands that you use a J-Frame, wear your shirt tucked in with underwear and only position it behind the hip. None of these warnings are posted by Clipdraw. Thank you.Rummaging in your pocket would have no effect upon a pistol clipped-on away from the pocket (for instance, at 4:00 or 4:30).
I hate seeing someone make ignorant claims about someone they don't know in order to prop a weak argument. Especially when they preface it with misleading self serving comments of neutrality - Clipdraw is an advertiser on Concealed Carry Magazine.I have no particular reason to promote the Clipdraw, but I hate to see someone who has never, ever used the device publish half-truths about it.
It might work for some guns with some clothes for people of certain builds, but Clipdraw is not for everyone. FWIW having read your articles Steve, I've gotta try these Polartec pants you always go on about. Less convinced about your clipdraw arguments.http://www.clipdraw.com/glock.html
Do not carry the pistol in the ready to fire condition. This is not the recommended safe-carrying method for civilian use. To minimize risk of unintentional discharge, load live ammunition into the pistol only when you are ready to shoot.
