kel-tec belt clip, difficult to draw gun? - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

I have a keltec p32 and I have the belt clip on it. I find it almost completely impossible to somewhat easily draw the gun. It takes so much effort, you're more likely to drop it when it comes out. My problem is it just seems that the grip catches on the inside of your pants way too much. I have read about the proper way to grip it and all, but it does nothing to help the problem. If I had to carry the gun this way, and was forced to draw my gun to use it I would probably be laying there dead on the street with my hand still on the gun at my waist. I'm really starting to think some sort of holster will be the best way to carry this gun. Anyway, anyone else notice it being difficult to somewhat easily get the gun out without feeling like it's going to come up bobbling in your hands like a football?

I tried a belt clip on my p3at and found it useless like you did.
I now carry mine in a grandfather oaks pocket holster. Cost's all of $15.00 or so and draws perfectly every time.

Probably cause you shot your own balls off. Definitely get a holster.

I am definitely going to be getting a holster. It just seems like the grip of the gun hangs up in the waist of your pants too much. Try to draw the gun out, and it's pressing out into the pants and impossible to take out. While it may be a good way to carry the gun for situations that don't require you to quickly get it out, most situations where you'd need a gun will require you to quickly do just that! I think a good pocket holster and probably an iwb holster are in order. Maybe others have better luck with the belt clip, I don't though. They say it fits easily on a normal sized belt, but I find the thinnest belt I can get, and it still seems too thick. You need a belt made out of webbing or something to be thin enough it seems. Anyway, glad at least one other person had the same problem I did.
