LCP with belt clip

Earlier this month, someone posted about putting a belt clip for a P3AT onto an LCP. The frames are just a touch different but it worked so I ordered one online. I had to tweak it just a bit but it works fine and it still fits in the Nemesis holster. When it's clipped in my pocket, it looks like a knife.

Wow. That's an impressive looking photo there. Does look like a knife clip. Do you also carry an actual knife with clip too? If I saw someone with two clips I might be suspicious, but I doubt 99.9% of the general population would be.

I use one of these pocket holsters http://www.pocketholsters.com/Ruger_LCP ... et_ho.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; with concealment flap and I'm wondering if I could still use the holster with the clip attached? Might have to cut off a bit of the holster on that side, but other than that should still work. Would give me some extra options - especially when wearing jogging shorts etc.

Nope, I don't carry a knife. I don't like dangerous things in my pockets.

I carry mine IWB but I have noticed that with the clip it really does impede the draw.

It's a mixed bag. I like the convenience of the clip and I really like the take-anywhere, works-with-anything nature of the rig (rig here being just an LCP with a clip). But I know that from a usage perspective, drawing that teeny gun with it clipped to anything is going to be weird at best.

I can stick my thumb in the pocket and pull the gun up and wrap my fingers around it a pretty quick fluid motion. It's much faster then drawing from the Nemesis Holster inside the pocket.

Potentially dangerous. I would suggest a good pocket holster to cover the trigger.
