texas, I apologize for not giving more detail about the leather belt. My leather belt is not a high end type of thing and I never thought about making marks. All I can say is the DCC clips are much easier to get off the leather one than the nylon one. You can slide the small inside clips (I call them "tangs") over the leather, something you can't do with the Wilderness belt. Please understand, it's not impossible to get the belt off the Wilderness belt, it's just harder. I'm not real worried about any marks I will make on my leather belt. I've been thinking about getting another Hank's/Amish belt for sometime and this might make me do it. Whatever you have to do to use the DCC clips, you should do it, IMO.
One other important thing that has occurred to me is whether or not I like to admit this, I was guilty of occasionally "checking" the stability of my rig - simply because I wasn't confident it was still locked on, GTG. It's something I think everyone who has carried concealed, if they are honest, has done at one time or another. You're just not sure your carry setup is secure. With the DCC clips, forget that cause it ain't movin one bit! Ya might say my confidence level has gone way up. Yet another thanks to Tony!
Should have a new holster in a couple days...
I'm like a kid in a candy store. When I slide my new JMCK holster down into position and those DCC clips reach the bottom edge of my belt, the sound they make when they "click shut" (actually it's more of a "thunk" sound) is awesome. As Tony says: "they're bad ass." I'll try to stop now - no guarantees, though.

Update on this ^^^^. I've been wearing a new Hank's Amish belt, the "Black Out." I bought it because it was cyber Monday and couldn't resist the discount. Gentlemen, once again, I love when a vendor lives up to the hype. This belt is really good, very classy looking, terrific "fit and finish," checks all the boxes. And, when I slide my JMCK holster on, wow! It's like they were made for each other. IMO, neither one can be beat, especially at their price point.
11B10, thanks for the business! Glad our holsters work for you.

Tony, whenever I find a business that perfoms the way it should be, I wanna tell everyone! These days, people are so quick to jump on you when you make a mistake, but just take it for granted when you do a good job - that ticks me off. Attaboys back at you, Sir! You are just like PF.

I'm kind of torn between the universal and getting the wing claw 2.0 or 2.5. This is for a glock 19 and I'm a thin waist guy at 29 inches. I intend to use this a bunch without a belt. Would it be worth it to still get the claw (would it still be usable without a belt?) then which would be better the 2.0 or the 2.5 for this type of application?

Elbowtko, I think for someone your size, the 2.5 with DCC clips will work a bit better (and either will work well for you) than the 2.0 with DCC clips.Only because the 2 DCC clips really close together create a bit more "holster moves with you" than the wider spaced DCC clips of the 2.0. Also, someone your size will run out of real estate quick so narrower is better, IMHO. Yes, the claw is worth it and is not an option to not order it, although if you found it to be too much grip rotation, you can remove the widget from the claw itself to get less grip rotation. The DCC clips will work without a belt, however you are losing your support system for the pistol and holster, so it won't work as well without a belt.
Thanks
