I have an older type of clip draw gadget, which I tried on one of my J's back in the 90's, I think it was. Before that, I'd been trying the old school method of wrapping some large rubber bands around the top of the grip, to 'catch' on the top of the jeans/slacks hem and whatever t-shirt was being worn. I carried it underneath a tucked-in shirt in those days, between the outer shirt and a t-shirt. It worked okay-ish, although I didn't like the lack of stability if I was engaging in some physical activities. So, I tried a clip draw widget I saw ...
That particular older style clip draw gadget mounted to 2 screw holes on the snub frame, and came with its own screws (including a yoke screw). The clip of that version was long enough reach near the front of the cylinder.
I used it with some range work, and you can see by the discoloration on the side of the clip facing the cylinder, that the muzzle blasts left some markings.
Bottom line? I didn't care for the way the snub could tip and shift a bit within my waistband with my upper body movement.
Also, I noticed that whatever (soft?) metal was used for the yoke screw plunger, it was getting deformed by battering against the yoke button with a surprisingly small amount of trigger time. The widget sits in one of the drawers of one of my small parts cabinets.
I have no experience with any newer design, which only use one screw to mount the clip to the side of the frame, but a lot shorter clip seems like it might not require much 'lift' pressure exerted against a snub in the waistband to lift it free of the belt/waistband.
If it were me, based only upon my own experience with that older clip, I'd rather invest the money to pick up a IWB clip-type holster. At least the pocket of the holster would restrict the tipping and movement of the snub to some extent, although a soft, open pocket-holster might still allow for lower body pressure (sitting, crouching, etc) against the muzzle to possibly 'lift' the snub upward within - or from - the soft holster. Then again, that might happen with an 'open' (top and muzzle) belt slide under inopportune conditions, so it's always prudent to consider holster design against anticipated conditions and activities.
Just my own thoughts.
