ClipDraw for an M&P

[downloadman]

Do they make a clipdraw for an M&P that is bolted to the backplate like a glock and not to the slide?

I'm not one to lecture anyone on how to carry...but those style triggers should really be in a holster.

I have too many negatives things about the clip draw.

Vanguard II isn't shown but it is much closer to what you are looking for. This is noted in the description and will be available soon

VanGuard Holster System

I borrowed this pic of the Vanguard II which should be available in the future.

Thank you for your concern. I am trying to find this for someone. I know that they make ones that screw into the slide but what I am really looking for is one that screws into the back plate.

P.S. If you are really concenerned about the safety aspects of a clip draw you could carry without a round chambered. I can chamber a round in less than .5 seconds.

No thanks. I will rely on a quality holster for my safety.

Have you been to the Clipdraw site? The Universal Clipdraw (side mount) version you're referring to does not screw into the slide. The Clipdraw base plate (that the clip screws into) secures to the slide via a very durable 'command strip' type of tape. (they claim the tape does not deteriorate with normal use of cleaning solution)

The best answer would come from emailing Clipdraw itself.

Or... get a version of the M&P that has a manual safety.
It doesn't take long to get into the habit of sweeping the safety during draw, rather than drawing and racking.
(I know... Many don't think a carry pistol should have a manual safety )

Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it.

Not knowing which M&P the person your researching this for has, if the Slide End Cap removes like the Shield (and Glocks), you could check to see if you were to send them and end cap, if they might drill & tap it like they do for the Glock Slide Cover Plates.
It's worth asking them. Good Luck!

It is a shield. Thanks I'll tell him that if he doesn't want to go the adhesive route then he'll have to contact clip draw. Thanks again for your time and research into this question.

Certainly you could if you did not have a bag of groceries or just one arm available to rack the slide! There are many circumstances where you would be a "dead man carrying" try racking a slide after withdrawing your weapon from wherever you keep it and I am sure you will find that over 5 seconds have passed this is after you have determined that you need to draw and fire to stay alive and that the first shot should count, hey kid you ain't the "Flash" in a bad situation you might even freeze, if in fact you are that fast then I suggest you make a video of your fast draw and racking while about ten guys are after you!

First off I'd drop the groceries reguardless of how I am carrying. Second off all people inherently have a fight or flight response hard wired into their brain. If some some runs up behind you do you duck or run? I automatically raise my fists instinctively. Some people condition themselves to try to fight their programming to mixed results. Honestly and I know this is going to sound macho but I don't mean it that way."I am not running unless I am coming at you." I have not the slightest bit of doubt in my mind that I won't freeze, I wasn't born that way.

I typically carry with an empty chamber. It's called condition 3 and is very effective if you train that way. The Israelis have been doing it for years. I carry a 1911 cocked and locked chamber empty. The same way I carry my S&W M&P 9c and my Sig P-238. When you carry all weapons that way and have done so for years it becomes wired into your subconcious. I haven't had reloading accidents or accidental discharges because I use caution. Murphy's Law REALLY applies when carrying a gun.

Whatever .. not for me.
