Tucker V-Clips (velcro) - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

Chunky Monkey · 03-26-2007, 05:34 AM

Hi all, I'm from southcentral PA and I've been lingering here for a few days. This is my first post here. I have a Ruger (P345) and taurus (.22 relover). I recently ordered my first XD (9SC) for CCW and as soon as it comes I'll officially join your ranks!

I am ordering a Smart Carry to get me started. I also have been looking at Tuckers 'Answer' w/ v-clips and belt (with sewn in velcro). I wear slacks/dockers, shirt, and tie to work so I kinda want something without a clip showing. Just wondering if anyone out there has used any holster with velcro? Collecting information so I can make and educated purchase. Also, not sure if I would need a holster with 2 clips (i.e. Answer or heritage) or one clip (i.e. cover up). Thinking that 2 may be over kill. I just want it to be good and secure!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I got my Texas Heritage with the Velcro clips, originally.
What I found was that between the clip, the velcro ON the clip, and the velcro inside the belt, it caused the belt to stick out quite noticably. I switched over to the C clips and was much happier with them.

But remember, it's all opinion. What I didn't like, you may love.

I like the C clips the best also. Had the normal ones but they kept breaking.

Love the C's. Hide better and looks better.

I actually purchased this package from Bbunin and have that very texas heritage. It works very well. My only problem is that i've been cheap and have tried to super glue the velcro to my belts which invariably wears out every 3-4 months. I need to bite the bullet and just sew the damn things on.

that being said, if it's a mellow, low key evening at the movies/dinner, i don't bother with a velcro belt, i just carry the holster IWB and that is usually enough for me to carry comfortably.

i'll try to find the pics i have of that holster...
