I'm not sure those clips would work for very long.
I've had them on knives and when they are clipped inside or outside a pocket when I sit down, eventually the "leverage" of that movement puts pressure on the clip forcing it to spread apart and bend the clip outward, ruining it since it's too loose after that to hold anymore.
I'd suspect that a gun, even if probably worn on the outside (OC) but still clipped to a pocket, belt or waistband, would also suffer from this and become useless...more of a hook than a clip and the gun could fall off at any time.
In short, I didn't find clips useful for my knives, being a very INsecure way to carry them, so I removed said clips after they bent outward and threw them away.
IMO, clips were not a good design idea.

celebrateYAAAAAAY:celebrate) She's actually carried her current gun (Ruger P-series in 9mm) in her purse a couple times against my lengthy and serious advice and have decided that she wants something much much smaller. She also likes the idea of a 380. This is someone who will gladly carry a 22lr but likes the idea of having just a little more power. Basically she's looking for a small caliber and an even smaller framed handgun. I don't know how she would feel about a revolver. Any help is greatly appreciated.
