Fabric-friendly holster Clips! An important consideration when choosing a holster for carrying inside the waistband is the type of clip it uses to secure to the waist of your garment. Most are designed to attach to a belt, but I’ve found two options, Fabriclip and Ulticlip, that are made to attach to fabric instead. Not a fan of belts? Now you can carry a kydex holster inside your waistband without one! Not only that but, they also make it easier to secure your gun to purses, backpacks, an inside coat pocket, etc.
If you’re interested in trying one of these fabric-friendly holster clips you’ll have to decide for yourself which you prefer, but today, I’ll share my experience to help inform your choice. Don’t miss today’s post :)
