Why use a holster when you can just use a...





less weight, less bulk...

 

I love my clipdraw on my .38. I am trying to sell my Glock 22, so I can buy a Glock 23, and then I will be using a clipdraw on it too.

 

I have seen those but I am/was skeptical but I may buy one to try on my Glock just for giggles. Right now I have a Bianchi model 105 minimalist holster on my belt and I have a Bianchi model 100 IWB waiting to be picked up.

 

Doesn't seem like it would be much safer than just shoving it down the waistband.

 

^ AH... I was waiting for this comment, That is why they make this for a Glock.

The clipdraw is perfect for a revolver due to the long and heavy trigger pull. I wouldn't trade mine for anything.

 

My primary EDC is a Colt Defender in a Pancake made for me by Rhome Desbien. Occasionally, when clothing demands it, I will carry a Seecamp LWS32 in a PCS pocket holster.

 

Yup, got mine.

Carry an XDm right now, looking for something a little smaller though.

Thanks for the heads up. Do you know if its all M&Ps or if its certain models? I thought I had found my next carry gun, guess I may have to continue looking! The G19 is just too bulky.

 

^^^I believe it has more to do with the holster/how you carry then the gun. One holster may do it every time you sit down and one you may never hit the release..ever.

Just one of those things... with the glock, I believe it feels like you need a little more pressure to release the mag. So it almost has to be deliberate.

The M&Ps I have shot are very smooth. I have considered purchasing one before...

^^^Currently have full size M&Ps on sale... get a rebate for 2 more mags or $50 on top of that price.


As far as the clipdraw goes, they are great if you like cold metal poking you in your groin or @ss. For me, a holster makes me "forget" I even have a gun. Not with the clipdraw. I have owned and carried a Taurus 85 with a clipdraw and while I believe it is good if you're taking your gun in and out (of being carried) I do not recommend it for prolonged carry.

 

Usually in the summer I carry my S&W 638 in my right rear pants pocket with my shirt tail out over it. Fits nicely in a coat pocket as well



When colder weather comes around and I'm wearing a jacket I'll have either my S&W 3913 9mm or my Sig P239 .40 S&W in a Galco strong-side holster.





When I'm out hiking or camping I'll carry my S&W 629 .44 magnum in a Galco strong-side holster or in a belly pack.

 

sweet 629... wish I could afford to shoot .44 mag

 

got the ccw. got a glock 26 with the galco stow and go in the pants holster. easy to hide when carrying in front (appendix position). just today got a conversion ring so that i put the 15 round mag from my glock 19 in the 26 and it extends the grip. actually balances the gun real nice. only makes the grip an inch and a half longer.

 

I'm waiting on a crossbreed holster now for my xdm. Havent got my permit yet but all paperwork has been filed, just waiting for them to telll me it is ready. What version of the (m) are you shooting, and how are you carrying concealed? I have a xdm .40 3.8. Also, if your wanting something smalled the xd's have a free extra two mags with purchase of a gun right now.... just a thought.

 

Hmm... Interesting to see the difference in opinions. I don't notice the cold metal, as it stays warm when it's on. I carry that Smith 637 all day and it's perfectly comfortable. My deal with holsters, is that they make it harder to prevent printing, for me anyway.

 

Well I may take my gun in and out several times depending on where my errands take me. I forgot I also had the clip on my kel-tec p-11 and carried it with the clip. My problem was when I drawed sometimes getting my fingers around the gun with my body in the way. The holster leaves a small gap for me to fit my fingers in.

I actually use my cheap ankle holster ALOT more then I thought I would. I didn't know how I would like carrying on the ankle but NO ONE can tell.
