Contributing Member JLSleather Posted November 29, 2016 Contributing Member Report Posted November 29, 2016 Anybody seen one of these done... simple owb clip on for the bg380 with a laser? I've seen a few done, but not one done well. Got a gal who wants one, but I aint seein' how to keep the clip from interferin' with the laser toggle. Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

Members CaptQuirk Posted November 29, 2016 Members Report Posted November 29, 2016 Not familiar with that pistol or the lazer, but I had a similar issue with the wife's SD40. I ended up rotating the lazer so that the switch didn't contact the holster. If you don't like that answer, you could form a groove in the holster so that the switch clears it. Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted November 29, 2016 Author Contributing Member Report Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) So that's one "no". I admit, I never did "get" why someone posts to a forum to say "i don't know ..." Actually, ya know...I think it's unlikely - so I'll just go on lay one out myself Edited November 29, 2016 by JLSleather Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

Thank you for giving the rest of us a couple of ideas that may help us out in a similar situation. Quote

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted November 30, 2016 Author Contributing Member Report Posted November 30, 2016 Interesting... I haven't scratched my head this much over a holster design in.. well - maybe ever? Can't find a usable clip less than 7/8" wide, and this little gun doesn't allow room for that...(before piping in, guy might consider that's 7/8" PLUS space to attach it).

Members Colt W Knight Posted November 30, 2016 Members Report Posted November 30, 2016 I don't get it. It's alright for you to "think out loud" on the forum, but not CaptQuirk? Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted November 30, 2016 Author Contributing Member Report Posted November 30, 2016 What's to "get"? Not my forum, so not my call who says what, or when. When I do post, I actually like to encourage thinking I don't know that guy (and next month, I still won't), so . Post to not answer seems strange to me. I suppose I'm unlike some others in the sense that when I ask a question, I really am interested in an answer -- not simply killing time or begging attention. In fact, maybe somebody could fill me in on how you "rotate the laser" out of the way on a S/W M&P Bodyguard? Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

I would grind down a clip to the width I need and replate it, cause I can, or use some other finish that I had on hand. Quote

See, now there's some actual thought! I considered something like that (though I don't have the means to "plate" anything), but I don't want it weakened right in that area. Here's ONE OF the issues... Gun is about 1" wide between the laser toggle and the top of the slide (you could call it 1 1/8" to the top, past the radius). Clip is 7/8, plus 1/8 on each side to stitch a retainer, there's yer 1 1/8 max. But the toggle would be riding right down the vertical stitching every time the gun is taken in or out...
