Techna Clip Concealment System for Smith & Wesson Shield (9mm & .40) - Durable High-Carbon Spring Steel Gun Clip w/Teflon Coating - Right-Side Carry, Easy-to-Install Glock Clip (Black)

This is a great tool for most people who carry in the waistband. For me, all of my pants have varying waist sizes (slightly) and my weight can fluctuate 5-7 lbs in a month's time. So, while holsters are an obvious method of carrying, also comes the extra needed room in waist. Using this device allows you to lose the need for additional room needed in the waist (about 1/8") where as most holsters increase gun width by over half inch and more. I've heard macho carrying guys complain that you should never carry this way but if you are like me, opting out of carrying because of waist fluctuation and gun discomfort is even more dangerous. I thoroughly enjoy and am the most comfortable using this product. I do not keep a round in the pipe but if you want to carry that way, the company offers and suggest a trigger guard that works great! As far as installing this system, take 3 minutes to watch YouTube video on how to and it will take you only 5 minutes to install. Very easy! Went to the range to test my ability/timing to draw and fire weapon- no hang ups or sloppiness and very safe! If you are wondering about the feel with racking the weapon, it's actually very comfortable and non-intrusive. While there are other company's that offer the clip system, they do not offer a wide device like this which is a true pleasure. Techna Clip Gun Belt Clip - Smith & Wesson SHIELD - Right Side

Perfect carry clip veryinimal design but works perfect

I own the M&P Shield 9. I purchased the Techna Clip for a purpose of having less weight and a not so bulky holster that can be uncomfortable to wear. The Techna Clip fit on my gun perfect. It makes it look mean and it is super snug to the gun. Has a small wiggle but that's from the back mag plate. I would highly recommend purchasing this. I carry it with me everywhere and it's really comfortable. No play or moving around, or any discomfort. Only thing that may be a downfall for some is not having the ability to draw smoothly, If in an emergency situation. There is not catch on your handle unless you prop it in a certain position. Really nice though and well put together product.

I've had my Shield for years but never really carried it unless I had a jacket on due to the holsters I've had were just not comfortable. This however keeps the slim profile exactly as it was intended and makes it so much easier. The kit is extremely easy to install and only took me about 1 minute (tip use the allen key included with the kit to push the plastic guide inside of the slide) The aluminum piece included is very well made and looks right at home when installed. The best part is it still fits in my other holsters if I want to carry in a jacket.

Clip fits nug. Did some simple draws and holster maneuvers to get used to it. Install was very simple with any basic pew pew knowledge. Installed mine and ready to use in a few minutes. (Also did some cleaning)

I've never left a review for any product prior to this but feel one is deserved in this case. Although my experience started out poorly it finished very well. I purchased a Techna Clip for my S&W Shield .40 from a provider on Amazon and it shipped promptly no problems. When I tried to install the provided part, however, it was machined poorly and would not fit. I carefully filed the piece until it would drop in but the fit was not exact. I felt the pistol was safe to test fire (and it was) but after shooting several rounds the pistol wasn't functioning properly and a few rounds stove-piped which was very uncharacteristic for the weapon. I feel this may have been due to the clip having slight movement which created contact/drag on the slide when the rounds were cycling. I removed the clip and contacted Techna Clip directly and explained the situation. The customer service rep was extremely helpful and immediately sent a replacement at no charge. The new part dropped in perfectly and after shooting several rounds there were no problems. The packaging on the first clip was different than the replacement so I'm assuming the faulty part was an earlier version and perhaps corrections had been made to quality control. The bottom line is that for me, it's a great concealed carry option and the folks at Techna Clip stand behind their products...I highly recommend. By the way, I also installed a Techna Clip on a S&W Bodyguard .380 with no problems whatsoever.

Coming from an edc Shield owner and fan, buy this clip and you'll have already perfected the art of conceal carrying a Shield. I've carried this for a few months without giving any thought about it printing. I always know it's there behind my hip but unlike holsters it's never on my mind when out in public. It's more akin to carrying a phone or at most a thick wallet now. There's less having to wriggle around too when seated, and no more having to sit a certain way in a low car to accommodate both you and the gun like with a holster. The Shield is large for a subcompact handgun, but simply adding this clip neutralizes the need to carry something smaller based on worries that you'll be exposing your gun. +1 for it being a tough high tension belt clip that doesn't allow the gun to slide around the belt. Just position the gun w/clip above the pant waist where you want it seated, then snap it down over the belt. I wear it over one of my regular leather work belts or my Browning web belt. Never had an issue. The clip itself providing wider griping surface for grabbing with fingers or thumb. Makes overhand racking the slide 3 times easier. Almost feels akin to racking the thicker compact or standard M&P model.

Seems well made. Strong material. Theres slack in the backplate but that doesnt matter cuz it shoots fine. My problem with it is it sits too low. This just makes my draw 2-3x longer even after practice. I went back to kydex. Watch youtube vids and ull see some ppl wouldnt be alive if it took them an extra 2 seconds to draw their handgun
