The clip draw is an unsafe gimmick. The gun is exposed to body sweat; it is not very stable; it is uncomfortable; rides too low and most importantly, the trigger is always uncovered and susceptible to an unintended discharge. Bad idea, IMO.

Good point on the extra R.E. requirement. From what I have so far, it has been hit or miss figuring out my cant/ride height adjustability needs as sometimes 0 cant is comfy then next day I need a cant-- could be the wrong holster tho.
For the clip draw I thought the same thing (mainly the uncovered trigger)... but last weekend I ran into a guy in the military (why his Shield was a 40) who let me shoot it a bit. He was using a clip draw and I asked about the concern and he said that's what the safety is for.

They are also ambidextrous, you can use the clip that it comes with it is extremely strong steel. I opted to put Comp Tac clips on my for the adjustability, they come in different sizes and types. I have one for my Shield 45 ACP and another for my M&P 40 PRO.

How long have you had it? It is tight now, but since it is just a "taco" over the frame, I'm concerned it will wear in and become looser over time.
It does have the lowest profile so far of everything I've tried, but I wonder how much thicker a 0.08 kydex wrapping around could be.
The offset clip definitely helps in that regard so that's definitely something I want.
