About the Monoblock Gear Clip
The Monoblock Gear Clip is an industry favorite, known for the solid grasp it provides on the wearer’s waistband. This clip can be used with a belt up to 1.5 inches wide, and can also be used for beltless carry, provided that your waistband can withstand the weight of your gun. There are two small hooks on the inside of the clip that wrap around your belt, or that “clasp” the clip onto your bottoms of choice.
One consideration to take in carrying beltless with this clip, is the thickness and durability of the material you’re wearing it on. Presumably you do not want your holster to wear through or put a hole in your pants (think thin leggings and the like). Especially in a tactical situation, you don’t want to draw and find that the clip punctures your waistband and no longer provides adequate retention.
A cool feature that your first-time holster shopper may not be aware of is that the finish on these metal clips is non-reflective, which is ideal when operating in a situation where you don’t want your position to be given away. The attention to detail with these clips is superb.

Discreet Carry Concepts also provides care instructions for the Monoblock Gear Clip:
Care and maintenance: Our surface finish does not need much attention. If any light scratches or wear marks develop, we recommend a quick yet firm buff with WD40, but anything from vegetable oil to mineral oil to CLP to motor oil will work well. Just put a couple drops on your clip and rub it in vigorously using firm pressure with a lint free cloth. This will help keep it looking it’s best cosmetically.
Can I use this with a wing?
Absolutely! The mod wing would be a great choice to provide extra stability in conjunction with this clip.
