Title: Pocket clip
Post by: Meggacatz on May 26, 2004, 10:53:12 PM

I like the belt/pocket clip like those on the Kel-Tec P32. A quality clip, maybe added in a new right or left side grip panel, would be nice. Or if a design could be made, I return mine for a custom factory mod. I'd prefer a dark color (black, grey, or anodized early grey). I'd expect a better quality than the Kel-Tec part (of course). Just an idea...don't flame me unless you've tried it. It works for me.

I have never used one, but I know that Clip Draw makes a "universal" model -- www.clipdraw.com

Like you, I would rather have one that mounts under the grip like the 1911 style -- but I am not a real belt clip fan myself.

Hmmmmmmmmm... I'm thinkin' I may go with a clipdraw.  I LIKE that idea of the aircraft adhesive connection and the screw-off clip.

Belt clips?  Hmmm ...... just cannot seem to get switched on to those at all ..... tho Marcus from THR at the PA shoot had one on his P-11 ... swears by it.

What works I guess - for the individual, as ever. :)

I decided to order two, one for my Rohrbaugh and one for my Glock.

Thanks for the link DD.

Tape/Glue on clip  ??? // I know that isn't right for me. My Kel-Tec screws on the gun through an existing pin hole with an allen screw. I'm suggesting something similar to the Kel-Tec clip. It may come in the form of a modified replacement grip to ensure reliability.

I'm interested in how Jody likes them after installing them and using them for a while.

I tried the belt clip on both the KT P-40/P-357 and the P-32/P-3AT -- didn't like it on either one as it tended to eat up my hand when firing.

My R9s will ride in my front pocket -- as does my P-3AT now in RJ's holster.

I ended up ordering severald of them.  I've put one on Glock 19 and used it quite a bit in the woods and such.  So far, it's GREAT.  

I put the glue model on another gun and it seemed TOTALLY tight and useful.  I ordered extra tape/glue pieces.  I put the other gun through everything I could think of and it worked perfectly well.  Then, I tried to take it off, as directed and that worked perfectly too.  

Works for me... A+

I have clipdraw clips on all of my Glocks (G19, G23, G32, G26 & G27). I also have the Universal Clip Draw on one of my Kahr PM-9s. If you clean the slide correctly, and clamp the mounting plate to the slide, and kept it warm for about 24 hours it stays on, even after firing 124 grain +P rounds. I have about 300 rounds fired with my PM-9 with the Clip Draw attached. It's still holding tight. All of my Clip Draws work very well, BUT you must be VERY aware of the uncovered trigger! If one is not an experienced handgun user, and does not have their finger straight and away from the trigger on EVERY draw, then they should not carry a loaded gun without a holster that covers the trigger. It's like anything else in life. Clips on handguns are not for everyone or for every situation, but they do have their place in the life of a responsible handgun user. P.S. I also have a number of good holsters for all of my pistols, and use them when needed.

After reading through this thread, I ordered a Clipdraw #1911.  Here it is mounted on my favorite .45:

After using it for a couple of days, I'm beginning to like it.  The only drawback is that, without a holster to cover the trigger, I won't carry the pistol cocked and locked.  In that regard, it's the same as one of the old "Mexican Loop" rigs.  However, I have found that the pistol can be carried in some of its holsters without having to remove the Clipdraw.  On the Galco Yaqui Slide or Paddle, the clip seems to enhance weapon retention.

I held one of my universal stick on Clip Draws on my R-9. I don't think I'll use it on the R-9, it makes it too wide. I like the universal Clip Draw on my Kahr PM9, but not on my R-9. I feel the R-9 is more of a Smart Carry Holster or pocket carry pistol than a belt clip carry pistol.

I would be too worried about the unprotected trigger.

Post by: R9SCarry on November 09, 2005, 01:37:44 AM

Bill - while I have no wish to use a clip - I do not think the unprotected trigger need be an issue.

Reason - long travel with 7# pull - would I think require an exceptional state of ''Murphy'' to promote a discharge!  Not impossible tho as certainty is never a 100% matter but statistically IMO so remote a chance as not to be worth concern!

Only my very own 2c tho :)

I really like the Clip Draw clips. I have them on all of my Glocks. On the Glocks they are compact, secure, easy to install and do not interfere with shooting the pistol. The Clip Draw on one of my Kahr PM9s is OK, but it sticks out further and adds some width the the gun. It's there when I need it, but I also have a PM9 without the Clip Draw for when the need arises. I have decided NOT to put a Clip on my R-9S. I believe it would compromise the concealablity advantage of the R-9S. If I were going to carry a pistol clipped at the waist it would be one of my larger pistols, like the Kahr PM9 or Gock 27.

I know the owner of Barami Hip Grips pretty well.  Next time I see him, I'll ask about making some that will fit the R9.  
They're molded plastic and would require a set of injection molds, so I'll bet he will laugh me out of his house.  He probably needs to sell 5,000 to 10,000 sets to see a profit.

Hmmm.  Do you think that's why the R9 costs nearly $1,000?  The Brothers R have labored for years, invested tons of $ in facilities & tooling, and produced about 1,000 guns in two years on the market.  Thanks in part to this forum, every owner feels like part of the Rohrbaugh family.  And expects special treatment like family.  :o
Rohrbaugh is probably only halfway to making a profit.  Unless you think $2.50 / hour is good pay!!  

Sorry for the diversion from the thread, but I got to thinking what Jack will say about making grips for such a small volume, and the realities of business overcame my affection for my R9.

I agree sslater and I am hopeful they will be profitable.

Since I decided to keep the Clipdraw mounted on my favorite 1911, I figured, "Why not have it engraved?"  My jeweler was pleased to accommodate this self-indulgent bit of vanity.   8)

Covert Carrier will have a replacement grip pannel for the R9 in the near future. I have a replacement panel on my .32 seecamp and love the thing no need for a holster. And the weapon rides under the waistband of my pants so when i pull up my shirt you cant even see the pistol

Some will say that it is unsafe because the trigger isnt covered. I dont carry one in the chamber when i carry my seecamp but with the heavy DAO trigger i wouldnt feel unsafe with one in the pipe.

I carry a "BUG" gun while i am at work because i can not wear a pistol which is visible with the covert carrier i dont have to worry about anyone seeing my seecamp

here is a photo from there website

I don't have one on my pup -- might not be a bad idea for my 226, though (I usually just toss it in my waist band if I'm just walking the dog, etc -- as long and as heavy as the trigger is, I'm not worried about it -- I wouldn't Mexican carry a Glock, though.)

I have a left side pocket clip on my Kel-Tec P32, and carry it butt forward in my right front pants pocket.  Looks like a knife or a multitool by observers.  Much handier than a pocket or belt holster.

Post by: Fat Boy on October 15, 2009, 10:21:50 AM

I personally do not like to use the clip.  I thought it would be a great idea but it turned out to be a loser in my opinion.  If you carry it iwb then you end up with the gun gouging you. if you carry it in the pocket, then I had it push up and out of the pocket twice with bending over and then falling to the ground.  I used the clip with my LCP and not my R9.  Just my word of warning.

I have used a clipdraw on my remmington 51 for some years, although it does have a safety.  I used the belt clip on my Kel tec and on a few glocks.  Loved all of them.
The tape on the clipdraw will not come off unless you want it to.  
I love nice holsters but some times I am just in too much of a hurry to belt one on.
