Barami Hip Grip vs. Clipdraw

I put one on a Colt commander and liked it. But then I have been know to carry Mex in the past. I put one on a 2 1/2" model 66 and took it off after trying it.
 
I'm a big fan of the Barami Hip Grip. One of my usual carry pieces is a 442, carried in my Levi's front pocket. Best to use a grip adapter, as I think the grips on the Hip Grip are too skinny to give good purchase on the gun. Works for me.

I have most of my J-frames set up this way:

I have used a Universal Clipdraw on a Kahr and have used J frame Hip Grips too. On the Kahr, it was very concealable and not uncomfortable, but I became very concerned about the nads with a semi in my pants with no manual safety. I like to have the Kahr's trigger covered when carrying. The Hip Grip is a great concept and can be used with a lot of holsters if necessary, but I cracked a Hip Grip right across the grip at the screw and am therefore concerned about them as well. I feel that their quality is not the greatest, although the price is right. Like most things in life, both of these choices are compromises. I'm using holsters now.
