Carry Gun with side "clip"

Post by thatguy »

I currently carry a Kel Tec P3AT in .380 caliber and would like to upgrade but can not find another small gun that has a "clip" attachment that can be installed on the side of the gun like my Kel Tec. This makes the gun very easy to carry and conceal. Any suggestions?

your clip is an add-on Keltec makes
They have
Keltec's PF9 or P11 clips too

My Keltec P11 (12 round mag +1 chambered) has the clip, I carried it before getting my Glock 26
Still good and accurate, but I prefer Glock's trigger and sight potions ... plus I carry the "10 round Glock 26 with Glock 17 Mags with a +3 extension most of the time for 21 rounds before needing to change mags.

Someone on the forum has the kydex Glock trigger cover, a little "holster" which only covers the trigger attached to a string I forget who makes it but I'd suggest that or some trigger lock snap out thing to go with a Glock clipdraw if you go that route

Yesterday at the gun range I saw what looked to be 1911 grips with a clip on them and the package read "Clip Draw"

Clipdraw is a nifty little device that can be added to many guns.

I use to have the "Clip Draw" on my Glock 23 but took it off whenI started carrying a Glock 26. While I carried the Glock 23 with the "Clip Draw" I also used the Vanguard Trigger Guard to cover up the trigger which I picked up through Raven Concealment. I believe this is what RPB was referring to.

Yes, I thought I remembered VanGuard ... searched, couldn't find it ... perhaps Raven Concealment is one of the few dealers stocking it.
Thank you :tiphat:
That's the one.

I've seen the clips before and they've always worried me that they would bend out of shape on a bigger guy.

I can't get past the idea of not carrying with a holster that keeps the trigger covered.

A clipdraw on a 1911? At least you have a safety. On a Glock? Irresponsible and unsafe in my opinion.

My P11 has a 9lb trigger singal action. take about 1-1.5in at 9lbs before it fires. It would be difficult to accidently fire it

Thats why the Vanguard Tgigger Guard was mentioned. It covers the trigger on the Glock. You tie the string to your belt or belt loop so when you clear you pants/shorts the trigger guard pops off exposing the trigger just as if you had just drawn from a holster.
