To match the strength and quality of the hand cut leather, Bigfoot Gun Belts are made with corrosion resistant hardware that will stand up to the harsh elements. The nickel-plated roller buckle will also allow the belt to effortlessly ‘roll’ through your buckle without damaging the leather, while the snaps provide you with an easy way to swap out your belt buckle within seconds.

(Chicago, IL) Ulticlip was designed out of necessity. There were no viable options on the market that provided ease of carry, concealment, unprecedented holster retention, and versatility in one product. Based on more than a decade of concealed carry experience, Ulticlip sought to address issues concerned with carrying a firearm. Ulticlip has met that need!
Ulticlip’s patent pending design replaces current holster clips, allowing firearm owners to carry with better retention, a smaller footprint for increased concealment, as well as maximum versatility. It can be worn with or without a belt and securely clipped in a backpack or purse. Ulticlip’s design gives the firearm owner options that the standard holster clip has not allowed in the past.
Ulticlip is proudly made in the USA and was brought to market in May of 2015. Ulticlip has acquired the praises of firearm owners from Japan, the Caribbean, South Africa, Europe, and across the USA. Satisfied customers have said, “Why didn’t someone think of this sooner,” and “This is the product that I have been waiting for!” A great product and outstanding customer service is the ultimate goal of Ulticlip.
