My default carry is a Glock 17 or 19 in the JM Wing Claw 2.0. I have gone back to PTD loops instead of DCC clips. The 2.0 uses struts that are tuckable and offer an infinite and wide range of ride height adjustment. I'm perfectly happy with the 2.0 setup.
Being that I rarely if ever use the tuck feature, I've been pondering the Wing Claw 2.5. Loops attach directly to the top of the holster without the need for struts. Do I "need" a 2.5? No. Do I want one? Maybe.
My observations / questions:
1. Is there an advantage / disadvantage to not needing or having the struts? Seems less pieces / material would be an advantage?
2. The 2.5 only has 2 ride height options up top compared to the sliding option on the 2.0 with struts. How much of a concern is this?
3. Normal hole spacing versus wide - what are the trade-offs?
Thanks.
