I am fixing to order a gun belt and holster and was wondering if anyone has tried the Velcro clips that attach to the backside of your gunbelt. I am interested in these so that I don't have two metal clips showing on my belt.

Don't worry about it, no one looks at your ass like you think they do. Velcro has a tendency to wear out fairly quickly, and loose its sticky. Go with the metal, and they'll last far longer.Attitude: it takes 43 muscles to frown, 17 to smile...and 3 for proper trigger squeeze.
The olive branch is considered a symbol of peace, and good will. Last time I checked, it's still a switch. -
I have a tuckable PJ IWB holster with velcro. I don't think it will wear out any time soon. But if it does, Paul (of PJ Holsters) would send me some more.Very interesting...

I use a Theis IWB holster with Kydex clips. They're amazingly strong and light weight. Aren't as conspicuous as metal. Blend into a black belt just fine.
Excellent work, super quick turnaround and a really nice man to do business with.sigpic

That notch in the rail is supposed to be there
"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."

i started making my own holsters a couple of months ago, when i ran out of steel clips, i started replacing them with velcro strips. they work extremely well and if they do wear out they will be easily replaced. so what else do i have to do, i'm retired. replacing a velcro strip is easier than ordering new metal ones.

I just recently switched my CBST from the kydex J-clips to the velcro clips. I disagree that the clips aren't noticeable. It just depends on how observant other people are; while many may be blind, there's more than you realize who DO see the clips. Just because I don't walk up and tell you that I see them doesn't mean I haven't observed them.
To the OP's question: I am VERY happy with the velcro clips. They hold very tight, and at least compared to the J-clips, they do a better job of keeping the weight of the gun on your belt, and not on your pants. If you're carrying in situations where you are wearing business casual, with a tucked shirt that would look unprofessional bloused to the point your belt clips weren't visible, the velcro is the way to go.
HIGHLY recommend.Comment
