Learn how to attach the UltiClip 3+ to your holster for discreet, secure everyday carry. Step-by-step instructions with common mistakes to avoid.
Quick Answer
To install the UltiClip 3+ on your holster, position the clip over the holster's mounting holes, insert the screws from the inside, and tighten them evenly with a screwdriver. This guide walks you through each step and highlights common mistakes to avoid.
Why the UltiClip 3+ Stands Out
The UltiClip 3+ is designed for deep concealment, allowing you to attach your holster directly to your pants or belt without a separate belt loop. Its superior retention keeps your gear secure even during vigorous movement, making it a favorite among concealed carriers who prioritize discretion.
Before you start, gather a Phillips screwdriver and ensure your holster has compatible mounting holes. Most Kydex and hybrid holsters come pre-drilled for clips like the UltiClip 3+, but always verify the hole spacing matches the clip's pattern.
Installation Considerations
The UltiClip 3+ can be mounted in different positions—such as for appendix or strong-side carry—so choose the orientation that suits your draw. The clip's hook design grabs the inside of your waistband, so the clip must sit flush against the holster's surface for proper retention.
If your holster doesn't have pre-drilled holes, you'll need to drill them carefully or use an adhesive backing (if applicable). Always check the clip's fit before final tightening to avoid misalignment.
Step-by-Step Installation Guide
- Position the Clip: Place the UltiClip 3+ against the outside of your holster, aligning its mounting holes with the holster's pre-drilled holes. Ensure the hook faces the direction you want for your carry style (e.g., hook downward for appendix carry). Check that the clip sits flat against the holster; any gap can reduce retention.
- Insert the Screws: Insert the provided screws from the inside of the holster so they pass through the holster and into the clip's threaded holes. Hand-tighten them first to ensure they are not cross-threaded. If the screws don't align easily, reposition the clip rather than forcing them.
- Tighten Evenly: Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten each screw alternately, a little at a time, until snug. Avoid over-tightening, which can strip the threads or crack the holster material. Test the clip by gently pulling on it; if it moves, tighten slightly more, but stop if you feel resistance.
Product Facts
- UltiClip 3+: The UltiClip 3+ provides unmatched retention and a level of confidence and stability that traditional clips can’t match, keeping your gear exactly where you need it, even during vigorous movement. This means once installed correctly, your holster stays put during daily activities, reducing the need for readjustment and ensuring a consistent draw.
