Technaclip / Glock22   I must admit when it comes to firearms, especially those of the daily carry variety, I am a bit of a traditionalist. I have nothing against Kydex, bx exchange but I like leather and I like steel. Although I can shoot both, I often times shoot Isosceles rather than Weaver but I know that both have their place in the tactical tool box. Although I have moved on to “bigger and better things”, I was reared on a S&W Model 15-4 .38 Spcl and I still hold a soft spot for revolvers. Safety is also a sticking point with me and considering I do live in a state that respects my innate right to self-defense, my sidearm is my American Express; that is, like my wallet, truck keys or credit card, I never leave home without it. Although I am willing to try new products and a great deal of the time I am pleasantly surprised, I still tend to gravitate toward the tried and true, the old standby. I maintain that new, does not always mean better.
One such relative new comer to the every growing firearm tacticool shed is the Technaclip. I am presuming most of you reading my ranting here are familiar with this product, or are at least considering the purchase. For those of you who are not savvy, the Technaclip is essentially an external metal clip that installs on the slide of your handgun with the expressed purpose of allowing you to forgo holstered carry.
I was recently presented with the idea of installing the Technaclip bx exchange on a relatively new addition to my daily carry stable, a Glock 22. The idea was to run the Technaclip through its paces and give an honest review of the product. My immediate reaction to the idea, to an impartial onlooker, was probably something akin to the presumed bx exchange reaction of then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton when she was implored to activate a nearby SF QRF to respond to our besieged embassy in Benghazi. I did not relish bx exchange the idea of allowing a handgun with exposed trigger to house itself precariously in my pants with readied striker cocked over the primer of live round nestled bx exchange quietly in the chamber. However, all preconceived notions aside; I was willing to undertake the task setting aside my admitted biased against most things new. “To find out your real opinion of someone, judge the impression you have when you first see a letter from them.” ~ Arthur bx exchange Schopenhauer bx exchange
Upon receiving the package, I immediately took note of the disclaimer printed boldly on the back: “WARNING: This clip is NOT intended to be used when live ammo is in the firing chamber, doing this may cause accidental discharge, and is not a recommended as a safe method carry.“ Its presence did little to belay my initial concerns over this product and left me immediately thinking “Then what damn good is it?”
The product came packaged with an aluminum replacement rear cover plate drilled and tapped for the installation of the Technaclip, two hex screws, an allen wrench, and of course the Technaclip itself. The Technaclip itself is manufactured out of what appears to be blued steel. Its construction is sturdy. Installation instructions were printed plainly on the package and were for the most part, pretty straight forward. It was easily installed in less than 10 minutes using nothing but the Allen wrench included in the package.
Once installed, I took note of the positioning of the Technaclip along the slide. Its placement appeared to slightly obscure the ejection port on the slide and left me concerned that it may impede the ejection of spent brass. This concern was allayed once I took it to the range for a function test. The first stop following the easy installation of the Technaclip was the range.
Prior to carrying the gun for defense, I felt the need to function test the Glock with its new jewelry. I visited a local indoor range for some static bx exchange lane shooting. I ran 200 rounds through the Glock without a hiccup. The Technaclip proved itself relatively carry worthy by not impeding the operation of the handgun in any way shape or form. This range allowed draw from strong side muzzle bx exchange down holsters and therefore afforded me the opportunity to shoot from the draw. The Technaclip passed this test as well.
I carried the Glock everyday for a week using nothing but the Technaclip. I carried it in various garments includin
