If you're interested, there's a cheap and easy fix for that. Get some heavy duty Velcro backed with industrial strength glue and affix a length of the rough half to the front face of each clip and however much of the softer, fuzzy half you want to the inside of your belt. The Crossbreed and the Comp-Tacs have this system, and it not only carries all the weight on the belt, but it is a much more stealthy way of carrying to boot. I use a Crossbreed with their Velcro Clips and, for the time being, with the length of glue-backed Velcro that they included stuck to a normal, every-day belt, and it works great. In a few days I will get a belt that I ordered from The Belt Man that has Velcro sewn into the entire length of the belt, allowing unlimited positioning.

That is a fine looking holster, but the weight should be carried by the belt, not the waist-band of your pants.
