Crossbreed Microclip?

I usually carry my primary CW in a SuperTuck but occasionally need something a bit more "stealth". For that reason I bought an Elsie Pea last year but haven't picked up an IWB holster for it yet. Pocket holsters are OK but I'm a small frame guy and they don't really conceal that well on me.
I've been looking at the MicroClip and wondering how it compares to the MiniTuck. Does anyone carry a MicroClip? Opinions?
I tried a search and only found the MicroClip mentioned twice. Doesn't seem to be a lot of discussion about it. Maybe that's a sign?

Patience, grasshopper :-)
I've been carrying a full size M&P in a cbst for 18 months and have a microclip on order for an LCP. Mostly for the petite wife, but I'll test drive it as well and post a review.

I don't have a CB Microclip, but do have two IWB holsters for the Bodyguard .380, and my wife has one for her P238. We also have pocket holsters, but prefer belt-line carry to pocket carry for comfort.

The MicroClip is fairly new, probably the reason for not many reviews. CB sent me one to review and I will be posting that as soon as the drawing is over for the MiniTuck. Given the choice of the MicroClip or another brand, I would choose the MicroClip. Givenn the choice between the MicroClip and the MiniTuck, I would choose the MiniTuck. That is just my personal choice though. I like the two clips, keeping it in place. With the curves of a woman's body (especially if the woman is a bit "fluffy") it's nice to have a holster that doesn't move when we walk and have to be adjusted when we sit. It's nice though, with shorts and thin pants, not as much bulk. It has it's pros and cons, but generally a great product as with all of the Crossbreed products.

The only problem I have with the MicroClip is that single clip set off to the side. Because of this, the weight of the LCP tends to pull the holster downwards in a swinging manner. End result is that the handle of the weapon lands below your beltline. Still comfortable, still works -- but it's much more difficult to draw than if it had two clips that secured the handle above the beltline.

Whoops, my mistake. I have a Mini TUCK on order, not a Mini CLIP.
The two clips give great stability, I don't know why you'd go with a single clip...
