I am thinking of getting a clipdraw for my Glock 23.
Anyone have any experience with this product?

Interesting product. Some people like it. I (personally) would avoid it as there's nothing preventing anything from getting inside the trigger guard. I'll stick with an actual holster... -

Buy a holster. No point in carrying without one in the chamber.

I had a clip draw on a revolver. I bought it because I wanted to do away with the weight/bulk/cost of a holster. I found that the gun shifted allot and (obviously) was harder to grip as it sat lower inside my pants. In the end, which was a short amount of time, it was gone.
It's a fairly inexpensive experiment so it may be worth your time/money. On the other hand a Glock Combat Holster costs less...Comment

There's a reason why the Israelis carry with an empty chamber. It has to do with training, but probably not what may come to mind at first. I own three pistols, two are very similar, therefore, I have to effectively learn two manuals of arms. I can learn to use these pistols very effectively and safely while carrying them with a cartridge in the chamber. The Israelis may be provided firearms that are unfamiliar to them... so they have to learn a manual of arms that will work for all firearms of a given type in the safest manner possible. The result is that they often carry their pistols with an empty chamber.Comment

Reminds me of a 1LT who didn't want to carry her M9 loaded. Needless to say, when she drew it to defend her life, the loudest sound of her life was the hammer "click." She suffered 5 wounds to her lower legs and chest.
Train as you fight.
Personally, if I find myself on the ground fighting off a person trying to kill me, the last thing I want to do is DRAW-RACK-SHOOT.

I agree with you about that. In my case, I only have to know glock and 1911. If I had to learn, say, 30 different pistols, each of which have their controls in different places... I'd rather learn one way that will work with ALL of them. That's what the Israelis did... All controls set on "GO" except for a dry chamber... all you have to do is draw, rack, shoot... regardless of what you're carrying. They train & fight that way. It works for them. It even works for the citizens that choose to check out a handgun from the PD for their own defense as they may not be familiar with that exact model of pistol.
We're lucky in that regard. We get to choose what we carry, therefore, we get to become proficient with what we choose to carry. This way we can carry our handguns in the safest manner from which we can use the pistol defensively. I'd choose to carry with one in the pipe as my pistols can be safely carried that way.Comment

I've looked at clipdraw before and it looked ok but I find carrying a gun in a holster is a lot better. There are many choices and styles to choose from and many of them are comfortable. I personally don't like any of the metal on the gun touching my skin so I prefer either OWB holsters or IWB holsters with a flap that keeps the gun from touching my skin. A good holster and a good gun belt will hold the gun better than a clipdraw ever will.Comment

Consider your level of threat, but on the other hand the clip draw works like a pocket clip style pocket knife. But like others said don' carry in the chamber you'll be fine.Comment

I'm liking it for my J frame though...My house, garages, and business protected by ADT alarms.
Just putting it out there..
