It is worth it to me not to have to deal with metal belt clips.

can you elaborate a bit? i'm not sure what you mean by not having to "deal with metal belt clips".

The plastic Comp-Tac clips are a lot easier to deal with than the metal Crossbreed style ones. They hold just as secure while you are carrying, but make putting on/taking off your holster an order of magnitude easier, as well as making repositioning your holster once it is on your belt (especially a thick belt) easy rather than frustrating and difficult.

It is worth it to me not to have to deal with metal belt clips. They also have an ebay discount outlet. Anyway, derail complete.

It is probably worth pointing out to people who haven't had a kydex/leather holster before that it is going to loosen up significantly on its own as the leather backing gets broken in and forms to the back of the pistol. If you permanently loosen the fit of the kydex with heat right after you get it, it is probably going to be way too loose after a month of carrying it. This is why the MTAC's have retention screws.

The Comp-Tac belt clips are about a thousand times more user-friendly, as well.
