That clip might be great for a low-profile Israeli carry (i.e., exposed trigger). As long as nobody notices the clip.

 

My EDC is a Colt 45 ACP by choice with a IWB holster. Not too excited about a clip, though - good luck with your choice.

 

Well, I have no problems carrying a 12+1 Max. But see zero reasons to carry a .22 when the Max is essentially the same size. And since you have 25K rounds....which is...um...hard to believe. Well....nevermind.

 

What ammo does Ammosexual prefer for carrying? Tried any Federal Punch? They say they made it special for high velocity from short barrels.

 

I thought about a clip draw several years back and then it dawned on me... it is a really really bad idea to IWB without a holster because a simple ravel in your undies or another garment could find its way around the exposed trigger and cause a problem drawing or maybe cause an unintentional discharge into your undies of the of the most violent variety. Bad idea. I have been known to shove a 1911 into my back hip area with handle forward cocked and locked in a response to a possible intruder or someone at the door late at night. But those are few and far between occurrences that that might happen.

Also, if you carry appendix like I do, your body and salty perspiration will be all over that gun.... trust me on that and a new Cerakote finish will be waiting just around the corner.

Opinions based on experience + logic is still just an opinion.

 

When wearing shorts, I carry my P3AT with a clipdraw. If anyone notices the clip, it looks like there is a knife in my pocket. But why carry a tricked out 22?

 

Watch this video and then if you like the clip-draw, please re-assert how carrying without a holster is a good idea. I think this guy may even have had a holster on.

My smalled appendix carry rides in a suede material holster not kydex and has a safety. It is a striker fired + double action restrike trigger on a Taurus Slim. I use the safety for a reason..... I like my family jewels apparently way more then the guy in the video likes his!. LOL!!!!

 

Israeli carry: " buy a Lite Rack - don't shoot your junk "

 

Israeli carry is for Israelis. Mexican Carry is for Mexicans. Murican carry is for Muricans!

You think you can draw and rack a slide and get into action when the real threat is in progress? I think these professionals would disagree.

 

The P3AT's trigger pull is listed at 5 lbs. Mine is actually more.
It is carried in a pocket not appendix. If you don't feel safe, there are kydex trigger covers available.

 

I think the professionals would advise running first, because the bad guys are untrained, so they're only accurate at point-blank range. If you draw from the drop, then you're going to take several rounds at point-blank range, which would have been avoided if you first evaded.

A quick draw is a skill that will never be needed by someone who has situational awareness. But you still need to carry, because sometimes the bad guys pursue.

 

I don't call it Israeli carry for the purpose of making it sound cool. Some of the newbies who need this advice are more likely to look up Israeli carry than condition 3.

 

I want my trigger protected.

 

Agreed! Holsters have come a long way with the introduction of kydex. Absolutely no reason to risk it with an unprotected trigger. If you have a safety, that is about as far as you need to go and training to take the safety off if you use it, is much better than risking a malfunction racking the first round into the chamber. OMG!!! Has anyone experienced a round jam when racking a hollow point or even a fmj into a semi auto firearm...I have and it was with my SR1911, My Colt Officers Lightweight, and Para Ordnance P12-45 at one time or another. I have shot 1000s of rounds out of 45s and there is always the chance of something going wrong. It does happen, so Israeli carry is one more step that could produce failure and is out of the question for me. That first round out the barrel is the most critical one... why risk it?

 

I have carried an original LCP with a techna clip pocket clip daily for 7-8 years or so now. I like it very much, like you i had a laser so the factory pocket holster didn’t work. I love it, if i am in a place i don’t want to open Carry I just drop it in my pocket. No one is the wiser, the rest of the time no matter what i am wearing it has a pocket.

 

25,000 rounds through the pipe is an impressive number.

Have you had to replace any parts or perform any repairs in that time?
