I appreciate the commentary. I like the idea of it on my revolver too. Some of the larger guns are really bulky in an IWB holster and it's just not comfortable while driving. I do a ton of in and out of my car while working and the IWB holster makes it outright awkward. I am still interested in the product but only for certain guns for the obvious safety concerns.

I've used one on my .45. While I wouldn't recommend jumping fences, jogging with it or bull wrestling with it on, it'll do for the other 99 % of applications that you use it for. Like anything else, some will love it and some will despise it and its use is as personal as the brand of holster we use or the car we drive. You'll just have to try it out to see if you like it.

The way I see it, if its use means that you'll slip it in the waistband anytime you go somewhere, then its a good thing.

Although I have never used one, I like the idea for several reasons. With the clip draw you eliminate the threading of your belt through a holster when getting dressed. There is no need to re-thread when changing pants. Just clip it on, or take it off. Like you I think that a lot of leather with a heavy gun just adds to the weight that I have to carry. My only problem with the Clip Draw is that I don't like having the gun in my pants, it's just uncomfortable to me. Even with an under shirt on. Other than that I think the Clip Draw is great idea. They are not expensive, so by one, and try it. If you don't like it, you haven't wasted that much. My personal likes tend more to the Yacqui (spelling?) style holster in belt slide.

I do like that version. I am a minimalist by nature and less is more in this case. I carry a very thin knife as a backup so I really don't like adding bulk to an already bulky carry piece.

For the price, I can only regret it so much if I don't like it.

There seems to be 2 very different schools of thought by the commentary though. I am comfortable enough with the safety aspect on a good 1911. I am just looking for a good ultra-slim IWB option for it.
