LeCalsey, you're going to find a lot of mostly "new school" people here. Nothing wrong with that. They also will be hell bent on safety, and there's
certainly nothing wrong with that!
But the Clip Draw has been around for decades (along with the Bariami Hip Grip or revolvers). It's been used by LEO's (quite a bit) in the past. And others also.
Specific to the 1911, where you have a safety engaged, and a grip safety which must be depressed (yes, ANY safety could fail, and I suppose it's possible that a Glock's striker could somehow release from it's partially cocked position and fire on it's own too), the Clip Draw is something that may well suit some. It should be safe to carry that way (as with a holster, one would want to ensure one does not drop the firearm).
ETA: I do not feel the same about using a Clip Draw on a Glock with an unprotected trigger. At a minimum, one should then consider using the trigger block also sold by the Clip Draw people IMHO.
I've not tried one myself. Been threatening too though. I do prefer a good holster, and I have many (and installing one of these will probably preclude the use of some holsters). But the Clip Draw would fill a niche too (I do like options). I'll buy one at some point. Will install it on my car gun (Loaded Model 1911 from SA). But Ill have to modify it, to work with my ambi safety. The Dremel will handle that in short order. And I'll have to draw palm out. But I'd envision carrying it (when I do) SOB at 7:00 anyway, my favorite position of SOB (not to get everyone started on this carry position also, they'll have you thinking I am endangering myself and anyone within two counties
).
Do a search on the Clip Draw here. You'll see at least a few threads. I seem to recall a LEO responding in one how he'd used one for years on a 1911.
Or simply try it out for yourself. Hey, it's 20 bucks. Won't be the most expensive "holster" you don't end up using if you're like most of us.
