NO-HOLSTER CARRY...continued.

After allowing the alcohol to dry, I pulled the white backing from the 3M Corp. strip and applied it to the slide where I wanted the mounting plate to end up.  With the tape in place, I then removed the clear strip from the exposed side of the tape and pressed on the mounting plate.  With the mounting plate properly positioned, I then attached the clip with the two rounded dome-headed hex screws and wrench supplied, and that was it, the Clipdraw was installed.  I'm not sure exactly how long it took me to install the Clipdraw on my P9 since I was taking extra time to get it right the first time and was also taking some notes as I went along, but all in all, it couldn't have taken me more than tow to three actual minutes to get it properly mounted.	The Clipdraw for the GLOCK and Colt Commander are model specific in that they "bolt" directly to the handgun they're designed for.
Should you not get your Model SA Clip draw positioned exactly where you wanted it or at some later date just want to dismount it from your gun, all that's necessary (according to the included directions) to remove it is to pry along the long side of the mounting plate with a thin-bladed screwdriver until it comes loose and then peel the tape from your slide.  The VHB (very high bond) double-coated tape used with this installation is supposed to peel off, leaving no blemish or residue on the slide, yet provides for a continuous bond between clip and pistol that resist oil, solvent, heat, and vibration.  I intended to test these claims.  More on that later.
I found that with my Clipdraw-equipped P9, my most comfortable carry came when I wore the clip over the top edge of my pants but under my belt.  Since a Clipdraw-equipped handgun rides right up next on one's body, the weapon it is mounted on should be free of protuberances and sharp edges that can poke and abrade.  The Kahr P9 pretty much fits that bill except for its slide stop.  To make my P9 infinitely more comfortable to carry with the Clipdraw, I replaced its factory slide stop with one I had narrowed and rounded so it wouldn't poke me in the side.  With this done, I found I could wear my P9 all day pretty much without even noticing it was there.  This is the mark of a good carry combination-having a major calibered  handgun with you at all times, yet hardly being aware of its presence. The P9 easily disappeared under a golf or T-shirt. I've carried the Clipdraw-equipped P9 pretty much daily now for about three weeks.  The clip has remained solidly anchored to its slide.  Since its installation, I've fired the P9 at the range with no change to the weapon's reliability, shootability, or accuracy.  I've field stripped it for cleaning,	Two Clipdraws take the place of "this" many holsters.
wiped it down, left it in my truck with outside temperatures exceeding 104 degrees, all without it shifting or coming loose.  So far this universal tape-mounted carrying device is working out quite well.
GLOCK Connection It was the Clipdraw designed for the GLOCK that first got my attention.  Not that I really wanted to install one on my GLOCK 22, but because of the way it mounted-to the slide cover plate-I thought that Skyline would surely produce a like design for the Kahr since it used a similarly designed cover plate on its slide.  Skyline ultimately chose to design a more universal mount that would fit my Kahr, and now that I've used it, an additional model that would bolt up like one for the GLOCK seems superfluous. Since John included a Clipdraw for my GLOCK, I went ahead and installed it and gave it a try.  As my GLOCK now does duty as my truck gun-a job it handles very well-I reasoned that a secure method to just stick it in my pants when needed, sans conventional holster, would be a bonus. So, using the directions that accompanied the Model GS-B Clipdraw, I first unloaded my GLOCK and removed it slide.  I then separated the barrel and mainspring assembly from the slide and, with the slide laid out on a flat surface, I depressed the black plastic spacer sleeve (as shown in the included drawings) toward the muzzle and separated the slide cover plate form the rear of the slide. There is a warning that removing the slide cover plate exposes the spring-loaded components and, even though it told me to keep my thumb over the opening to keep these components in place, I managed to let the extractor spring escape, fortunately it hit something on my bench and only flew a short distance.  I then installed the new slide plate cover that's a part of the Clipdraw assembly and attached the clip portion of the Clipdraw to the new slide cover plate using the two included dome-headed screws and hex wrench.  Skyline recommends applying Locktite to these screws to help keep them in place.  For you lefties, the GLOCK Clipdraw, like the Universal Clipdraw for semi-autos, can be mounted on either side of the slide, another simple, easy to follow installation.  John included extra screws with the GLOCK and Universal Clipdraws.  In addition, each Universal Clipdraw comes with extra prep pads and tape for multiple installations or repositioning. With the Clipdraw mounted on my GLOCK 22, I found that it remained securely positioned, pretty much anywhere I placed it inside my wasitband when the clip was snapped over my belt.  Again, like the universal model I mounted on my Kahr, the Clipdraw on my GLOCK was out of the way and did not interfere with its operation or disassembly.
