We will be the first to admit that a clip for your gun is so that it will look cool. Well now that we have that out of the way who says it can't have function as well. This clip has a storage compartment; its uses are only limited by your imagination. Put your barrel sock/plug in it, use it as a tool box, maybe a small rag to clean your mask, or do what I do and store candy in it. Can't hurt to have a snack on the field. And as always hard anodized black to match the A5.
