Lets hear some pro's and con's. I am thinking of getting one. Should I??

I don't think a clipdraw will work really well with that red-dot and light on it... :wink:

I think the big issue is, would you feel safe with a loaded gun that has no manual safety in your waistband? If so, go for it. If not, get a holster.

I have one and feel completely comfortable carrying this way with my XD-SC. With the grip safety AND trigger safety IMHO it is no more dangerous than carrying the same pistol in an IWB holster. There is no way I can press through the material of my pants, either jeans or dress slacks, and activate trigger. IWB's just don't work for me. The clip draw does.

Here's a thread on this a few months ago.

Here's two pics with mine on:

tec,

First post on this forum.

I carry my Para 6.45 LDA with a universal clip draw (stick on) and it works great. The Para is certainly heavier than the XD.

Don't worry about activating two safety devices (grip & trigger) accidently. I can't even imagine how you'd do that.

Give them a try.

I had a clip draw on my keltec p3at and took it off. The gun kept shifting, draw was inconsistent, and I just wasn't comfortable without the trigger being enclosed.

Tec,

I have a sample unit that was sent to me. You are welcome to it, if you want to play around with it.

Just send me your address via e-mail, and I will send it to you.

Hey- where is your beer gut??!!
That is more of what I want.
I have been looking for a IWB holster and just have not found anything local that i liked. I have a belly overhang issue that prevents some of them from feeling good. This looks like it might be just what I want. Thanks for the pictures.

I am a nice guy, the others are lying. I will cover the shipping, no problem. Make sure you post pics and your thoughts. It will be interesting to see how it works for you.

Thanks,
I'm a USPSA wheelgunner but really enjoy the XD.
It may be my new 3 gun pistol.

Clip draw is another method I used to carry my G36. Do they make it for the XD. I never had a problem giving the Mexican carry a bit of additional support... that's what the clip does. Also less bulk than a holster but not as comfortable.

 

[TomSwift]

The stick on Clipdraw is universal. AFAIK the only one that is geared for a particular gun is the one they make for S&W revolvers...it actually fits between the frame and the grip.

I did receive the Clip Draw from Old School, Thanks again for it.

I will post a picture as soon as I get batteries for my digital camera.

I have been using it with good results the past couple of days, being I do not have a ccw yet, I am limited to where I carry. I did wear it to a job today that involved a lot of bending over and kneeling. The clip draw was tight, no movement with the XD. I think I do need to loose some weight or buy some more pants and shirts as it is a little "pressing" to wear it. Not bad, but I am certain it could be more comfortable if I was to shed a few pounds (working on it).

The one I used on the XD is the universal style. It attach's to the side of the slide using high adhesion double sided tape. I had my doubts at first, but it has held solidly to the gun. Even my acid sweat has no affect on the tape.

If / When I get my ccw, I would think this would be the method of carry for myself for most of the year when the temperature is warm to hot. For the winter I would love a shoulder holster, but I don't think that would work too wear while wearing Carharrt bib overalls.

Let's see some more pic's I am very interested in this for my XD40 service.

Thanx!

 

[tec]

I'll make it a point to get some batteries this week. Mine looks the same as TomSwift's, but different! :lol: He has his clip set so that the gun rides pretty low in relation to the belt line. Mine is up higher a bit. Personal preference.

 

[one-eyed-fatman]

My clipdraw works great. Wouldn't be without it.

I dont care who you are.. thats just funny

I notice you're in Ohio. Clipdraw will not fill Ohio car carry "In a Holster" requirement. Be careful. I have been considering it too, but even the new law that is being considered won't fix this provision.
