For those that have installed a carry clip or grip type clip on a snubbie J frame, which did you chose, how do you like it and what might you dislike about a particular type of clip?

I just picked up this 642-1 and plan to carry it pretty much daily. I suppose a pocket holster is another option as well.

Herro!

I have two of these on two different revolvers. They work best for appendix type carry but I can also carry it just behind center line on my strong side.

Draw back is the shallowness of the clip. It could work its way out of the waistband if you are really hustling.

Plus to that is it can still be used with the holsters I own for both revolvers.

I have one on an L-frame and the other on an LCR.

I like the Desantis clip grips also.

Ahh, so... A sank you so much a Davi-son.

Not as secure with a j frame as when used on a semi auto. The cylinder &'higher ride can work the lil revolver out during activity as Clark noted

Also looking at IWB units like galco tuck n go or desantis sof-tuck. That might be a better way to go...

I ordered a desantis sof-tuck, aint nobody got time for pondering clips vs this or that. Done.



Ordered that and a couple of rubber 5 round speed strips.

DeSantis Grip Clip

I have always used a pocket holster for my J Frame snubbies. Just works better for me.

Sam Andrews makes mine

I'll likely order those grips too, because they will still work with the sof-tuck.

This stuff is cheap, I love it.

That gun gets lots of mileage with just those grips.

Ordered.

ok, now I'm done.

to me interesting, the guy that invented that style of grip was a detroit policeman. I have one of his grips which does me no good being left handed.

I will second your choices Dave.
I still use an original Barami Hip Grip I have had for like 30 years. Been on a bunch of guns over the years.

very cool.

that barami grip is the one i was talking about, came on a agent from the detroit p.d. originally where as i understand it barami worked.
haven't seen them in left hand tho.

I ever break that on I will get the DeSantis one to replace it and retire the Tyler "T" Grip!

IIRC they never made it for lefties.

This guy don't fugk around.




Dave

Several boxes on the way from Amazon.

They double box things.

Ufftah, you betcha.

Also picked up a pocket holster from black cock.

Weird name for a company but it's a nice product.

Tough to beat a black cock anything.



Dave

Am I spelling it wrong? I have an accent, so....

Pawket?

Well I have the stuff I ordered and have been trying the IWB holster and just the clip grip, messican carry.

So far I like the gun, no holster better.

Small of the back, holster would be better.

Really Like the desantis grip (steelies pic) on my airweight for tuck-in-pt-shorts and go. Yard, dog walking and such. Works fine with a belt, too, just generally go steelframe/owb/paddle in that case

Just gonna have to trust you in that one....

Next question, how you folks prefer to carry one of these? (position)



I'm finding I like about 4 O-clock, above my wallet.

If deflave says "doggy style" I'm unfollowing the thread......

Yep 4:00 but wallet is in my left rear pocket.

Thanks T

In my waistband, duh.

Appendix or?

This

I don't have an appendix....

Whatever feels right. Assuming your cock is 12 O'cock, 3 or 4 works for me.

4 o'clock is harder to defend against a gun grab than 3 or earlier, so please carry concealed. Don't be this guy.



I don't know how I spotted him in the parking lot from 100 yards away. I must have skillz.

Why the F would you open carry a 4? Jeezus, if you're going to hang it out there, keep it up between 2-3.

I personally wouldn't carry open in public tho.

You would be amazed at the number of people I see doing that around here. The other 2 major categories are the Joe "Glock" Tacticool types and the guys who think it's still 1885, except for the invention of the Colt 1911.
