Clinger Gear Holster
Rob PincusDescription
The Clinger Gear Holster is a versatile ambidextrous Kydex holster. Its name comes from its large plastic clip, which has teeth that look like gears coming together on the clip itself. The Gear Holster is Clinger’s upgrade of their earlier Stingray Holster.
GEAR CLIP
As set up, the Clinger Gear Holster has a very aggressive cant that would be appropriate for carry at the 4 or 5 o’clock position. However, it’s quick and easy to make an adjustment using a screwdriver and turn the gears of the teeth, then close it back down and it’s a straight-drop, a pure vertical holster.
This is good for centerline/appendix carry, which Rob Pincus prefers for concealed carry. The Gear Holster looks good, or should we say looks invisible, at centerline when wearing an untucked t-shirt.
DEEP CONCEALMENT CLIP
Another feature of the Clinger Gear Holster that’s handy when using gun holsters is that the gear attachment can be removed and a different clip attached, a deep concealment clip. Both clips are adjustable not only for cant, but also for ride height, so the holster and gun can go down deeper for better concealment or be up higher for an easier grip on the gun. And as previously mentioned, it’s ambidextrous like all Clinger holsters.
Rob really likes the Gear Holster for the appendix position, though it can be worn behind the hip as well.

This is the Clinger Gear Kydex holster, and it's a very versatile, ambidextrous holster from the Clinger Holster company. Now, you can see here, it's got a very aggressive plastic clip, and if we look really closely, we can see where it gets its name. It's from the teeth which look like gears coming together on that clip itself. Now, this one right now is set up with a very aggressive can, which would be appropriate for carrying back here at the 4:00 or the 5:00 position. But pretty quickly and easily, since I don't actually carry back there very often, I can make an adjustment here, turning the gears of the teeth, closing it back down as a straight drop, a pure vertical holster, and it's now set up for the position that I like to carry here at the center line or appendix carry position. And I put the gun in there, and then you can see that I'm in pretty good shape for just to concealment with an un-tucked shirt. And one of the other cool things about the gear holster is that you can take the gear attachment off and set it up with a different kind of clip, and this one is a deep concealment clip. Now, also it is again important to note that not only is this adjustable for can, it's also adjustable for ride height, so it can go down deeper or be up a little higher for an easier grip on the gun, and it is ambidextrous like all of the other Clinger holsters that I've seen. They also make a hinge holster that has two connection points and is good for the 3:00, but really, especially for the 4:00 or 5:00. But this is the one, the gear holster that I really liked for the appendix position. And it can be pressed into service behind the hip as well. The gear holster from Clinger.
