A recent article in GUNS Magazine by Roy Huntington July 1999 Issue
The Clipdraw
This is sorta' one of those, "Damn, if
that ain't the darndest idea" things. I surely hate taking holsters
on and off and this one holster that stays on the gun. I got one for
an 1911 series and one for a J-Frame Smith and Wesson and promptly
installed them on my guns. |
 |
I lived with them for a week or so to try and get a feel as to
whether or not this was a good idea for real or just looked good in
the package. Well, this is a good idea for real and much to my
surprise, the clip worked great on the little revolver. Skyline
Technology, the makes of the Clipdraw show the little J-Frame
sitting comfortably behind the hip.
I found it to be very comfy tucked into the front of my pants just
to the right of center, with the clip slipped over the pant material
and not the belt. It virtually disappeared if I kinda' bloused my
shirt over it and got me to thinking. Is this about the best thing
going for those new titanium revolvers from S&W, or what? |
The Clipdraw for the 1911 models is slick and easy to manage. You
simply install it under the right grip panel. I did find that if
your belt was a strong, manly-type, the clip wasn't quite big enough
to easily go over it. After some experimenting I decided I liked the
clip slipped over my pants material, behind the belt, anyway. It
rode more comfortably and the gun was still accessible. |

Does it present the gun for a blazing speed draw? Not quite in the
case of the 1911, but it seems to be sure, sage and comfortable.
Especially if you're partial to the old "Border Carry" where you
just stuff it behind your hip and go to work. |

Dear Sir,
I want to take this opportunity to let you know how very much I
appreciated the "Clipdraw". Having carried a .45 ACP Government
Model, both Colt and others, for over a decade now both as a duty and
off-duty handgun, the Clipdraw has been one of the finest developments
I've ever come across.
Several reasons...first, it greatly improves the overall .45 weapons
system. Instead of trying to locate a belt slide holster (or any
other style) to match the belt and boots of that day, with the Clipdraw
just slip it on...no worry about a holster. second, safety and
function - equally vital. It slips inside the pants or just
inside the belt, however you prefer. It is made for concealment,
holding the .45 tight and close. And the spring tension clip
securely holds it in place yet does not resist the draw. And
regardless of how much it's holding all day long, when removed, the spring
tension returns it to its original position. It does not interfere
in any way with the operation of the handgun, it has plenty of room for
the slide to cycle, and it is positioned so that even with a custom
"ported and polished" enlarged ejection port, it does not interfere with
ejected shell casings. Also, it doesn't detract from the overall
finish and appearance of the handgun.
In conclusion, as a peace officer who has carried a .45 ACP for almost two
decades, I highly endorse and recommend the Clipdraw as a no-nonsense
improvement - equipment that is safe and does its job.
Very truly yours,
Frank Latham

Clipdraw is an ingenious idea. It is a very inexpensive device, which
when attached to your M-1911 pistol, allows you to carry it
Mexican-style (i.e. in your waistband, without a holster), safely and
securely. Click here to read the
