Clamping retention clip

A two part clip suitable for mounting to a holster, pouch, bag, or sheath and selectively clamping to a material, the clip comprising:

• a relative lower unit having a mounting area for said holster, pouch, bag or sheath, a base plate, a terminal clamping head comprising a gripping area and configured to receive a material, and a pair of opposing overhead flap mounting posts located at the top of the lower unit adjacent to the clamping head;
• and
• a flap having terminal mounting means pivotally attached to the relative lower unit via the mounting openings and configured such that application of a downward pressure on the external surface of the flap rotates the flap toward the base plate of the lower unit and engages and moves the clamping head into a closed position against the base plate and reducing the angle between flap and base plate to maintain position of a material received therein;
• wherein the clamping head further comprises an angled portion that is angled at about 30 degrees relative to the gripping area, and wherein the clip is configured to enable the overhead flap to have about 120 degrees rotation.
