You might be better served with an IWB holster. Also just an observation, it appears that you have a Safariland speed loader holder for a Comp 2 on your belt? If that is something you use for duty, have you had or are you concerned with "loosing" your spare ammo with normal movement throughout a duty day or God forbid in a fight?
I've tried IWB holsters before and was not happy with them. They became uncomfortable, especially during long hours of surveillance sitting in a vehicle. They are great for high concealability concerns though. I find revolvers especially uncomfortable due to the girth of the cylinder.
I have wrestled with several different carry options for speedloaders during my career. Being a revolver guy, you can understand my struggle to carry my beloved wheelgun. I've tried split-six type pouches and regular pouches. These Safariland clips have proved to be an adequate compromise between security and accessibility, especially for the Comp II speedloaders. I lost a magazine for my auto several years ago while chasing a bad guy through a canal (open top mag pouch). I've handled several physical altercations with the Safariland clip and haven't lost a speedloader yet.
Not to say that it won't happen, but everything in life is a compromise and I have found these clips to be adequate in retention. My SR split-six type carrier dumped my speedloader on the bathroom floor in a truck stop one time, because the snaps on the side of the carrier had come undone. That is the only time I've dropped a speedloader.
I'm still open to suggestions for carrying a speedloader. This clip is the best I've seen so far.
