standard clips all the way! i ordered mine with the c-clips originally, and found them difficult to keep on my belt as well as extremely bulky--they print like crazy and my xd dissapears. i ordered the standard clips to replace the c clips, and it's like an entirely different holster. 10 times more comfortable and completely disappears under my t-shirt now.

The standard clips---the new ones, thinner with five holes. I tried the velcro, but didn't like them as much since they are short and wide, like the old standard clips.

the only time I have difficulty putting on my holster is when I do It while seated in the drivers seat of my car. Even then, its not too difficult for me. I have to make that maneuver daily. I am I skinny guy though which helps. Ive even run around in the park with my dogs and no issues. OMO YMMV etc haha

I picked the C-Clips to go with the monstrous Comp-Tac 1.5" belt. Carrying an HK P30 has never been so comfortable and comforting.

I got the velcro clips and belt. Its relatively easy to take the holster off. About the same as the standard clips. The velcro clips come with some velcro stripes to attach to a regular belt, and that works ok. (they are self stick but pretty solid once they are on).

negatives:

- its not as easy to reposition the holster (slide it forward/backward)
- the MTAC belt is massive. I think its massive enough where it kind of gives away that you are carrying. your regular cell phone holster may not fit over it.
- the velcro on the belt doesn't go forward far enough for me. I carry at 2 o'clock and there is no velocro for the first clip (but you can fix that with the included velcro strips). It depends on how many holes you use in the belt.
- the velcro clips don't go as deep as the regular clips. They are one hold (about 1 inch?) shorter.

Are you talking about the current C-clips or the older style? I'd agree about the old style metal C-clips, but the new, thin, polymer C-clips are a whole different critter!

This is the new style:



They grip a corresponding belt size extremely well. With a stiff belt, you will have to feed it through - you won't be able to just lever it into place. I think they have a much smaller print than even the new, thiner, standard clips.

I just got in a MTAC with the new style C-clips for a full sized 1911 and they do really well. I was impressed enough to order a set as a retrofit for my P95's Crossbreed Supertuck.

Those are exactly the clips my MTAC has installed.

Standard clips for me. Hold well with a good belt.

***? i just ordered c-clips a month ago with my comp-tac and they sent me the old style. had to spend $18 after shipping on the standard clips.

oh well, the standard clips are easier to secure on the belt.

Any other opinions on the new C clips? Are they a better choice over the new standard clips?
