What a great idea.......but...

I just got a spring steel side clip and the little wire assembly that allows a neck loop carry for my KelTec P 32.......both are great ideas. Too bad neither of them really work well. The lanyard carry loop SEEMS ok, but i really don't know if i want to trust my firearm hanging on it. The side mount steel belt clip SEEMS like a great idea....and it works. But, in use I feel like I may as well have my pistol at home in the sock drawer as it is about impossible to draw it. Now, that may be in part due to the 15 extra pounds of me, mostly at belt level (only you skinny guys are allowed to laugh, the rest of you know who you are).

Anyone else have different opinions of these items??

cheers, Cannon

I don't much like the idea of anything hanging around my neck. To tempting for the BG to grab and choke you.

As far as the belt clip, I have no experience with wearing a gun that way, but I have tried it with an eyeglass case. I almost lost my glasses several time because it would ride up and pop off when I sat down; I'd hate to have a P32 sliding down my leg when I stood up!

My .02...
Only use a good holster, safety has to be 'job #1"...

Hey Cannon: I know lots of folks use a clip, but the exposed trigger gives me the yips. When I carry mine, I just use a cheapo Nemesis concealed in the inside breast pocket of a suit or sport coat. Given the width and total weight, it neither prints or sags...even with a linen or silk jacket.
