You sir, are one lucky man. I purchased a C-Tac a long time ago and it came with an extra set of 1.75" clips which are unused. Considering I'm out of a job and can't afford a gun belt, but will order a 1.5" when I can, you can have them. PM me your address and I'll try to get them in the mail tomorrow. First I have to find $6 to ship them. Actually...that's not funny...

Wouldn't it be easier to borrow a smaller belt, or hit KMart for a $6 or so belt?

Not when you want to use a gun belt. That's the only way to get the true feel of whether he'd like to purchase it or not.

ETA: If you would like to make a $10/1-Year forum donation in my name for the clips that would be fine. Definitely not necessary, would just be a nice gesture to myself as well as the forum.

(assuming this is allowed)

Respectfully I must disagree, while this type of belt probably won't last as long as a "real" gunbelt, with careful selection of a good thick and stiff belt, it should do for the purposes of trying out the holster. At the very least he could do this tomorrow if he were in a rush, rather than wait for a nice guy such as yourself to loan or ship him the clips.

And just for reference, my opinion is based on the fact that I carry a full size Cz 75b in a CTAC on several 1.5" belts that all cost less that $10 each 7 days a week, including naps at times. I will at some point spring for a dedicated belt. However I have not felt the need since I have tried the gun and holster on a borrowed Wilderness Instructor's belt and felt no great improvement over my kmart specials.

I guess it could go either way, and I respect your opinion. My CHP hasn't arrived yet (52 days and counting) and have been wearing my firearm around my apartment whenever I can. I had what I thought was a very stiff department store belt, but it quickly lost its' hold. Now, I don't even have a belt large enough to wear my holster around my apartment. In fact, if my CHP arrived tomorrow, I wouldn't even be able to carry because I don't have a belt. I guess I would be able to spring $10 for another department store belt (that would even be tough right now). I suppose it would be better than nothing, but it sure didn't last very long.

Must not be that anxious to get them.

Until you have worn "real" gun belt, you wouldn't understand the difference it makes.

customtle, check your PM. I just got back from shipping the clips via FedEx. It's 1 degree outside and feels like -17 with the wind chill, so you better like them! Happy Holidays.
