I've noticed that the connection that the covertect clips provide to the covertect wheels are a bit more lose than I would like.

Makes it feel more authentic though, notice in the prequel movies the lightsabers were also kinda loose on the covertech clips

Yeah but it also worries me that it could easily dislodge. Has anyone's lightsaber been dislodged from the covertect clip by accident?

I've never had an issue with my saber and the covertec clip. It's pretty secure.

I did a couple of years back during Dragon Con.  It was holding my Bellicose and it easily came out of the holder, luckily my cloak had a grasp on it or it would be hit the street surface.  So I totally get what your saying.

Ha, that's epic. Your outfit protected your lightsaber! I don't know if that's the Force or simply great multipurpose outfit design. Either way it's awesome.

I'd share Hulk's concerns if I had a more expensive or designer style of lightsaber for sure. Mine are more functional and meant for training/dueling than anything else. But it doesn't mean I don't like their finish or trying to preserve their appearance as long as I can. Especially if I did a custom paint job i didn't want getting chipped or worn away. When I wind up getting a fancy or more ornate hilt I'd hate to see it all scarred or scratched up unintentionally or for some silly reason... I guess I'll have to experiment with a covertech clip and see if there is a way to further enhance retention for potential higher value lightsabers. Like a multi retention pistol holster uses, an added "safety" or something before it just dislodges.

I've never had an issue and I have jumped, ran and even fallen while wearing a saber...never had one come loose.  Hell the only time one did fall was because my belt broke.

Is it possible to add the wheel to a standard Dark Catalyst? It was a gift. (And my first lightsaber. )

If you're talking about a covertech wheel not a clip... and you want to install one on a lightsaber without a hole pre drilled, then you're going to have to do that part yourself.

Here's a few links to topics with relevant info:

http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=44276.0
http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=35922.0

These should point you in the right direction, if not continue to search to your hearts content...

I've become minorly concerned... I cheaped out on covertech clips when placing my order. I was trying to cut corners, and save as much money as I could at the onset. In my mind I thought "Oh, it shouldn't be much trouble to order one later..." But I kind of assumed at the time they were all also 1 standard size with a "universal clip" you just order. But the more I see various models from US with covertech wheels installed, the more it appears they can vary slightly/wildly.

SO my questions are: 1). Are there different sized clips to order?
                                2). If yes, Does the size just get determined by the hilt you're ordering? So if I wanted to buy multiple ones at once (for different lightsabers) I'd have to denote
                                     which I need.
                                3). If yes to question 1, just how many size variants are there?

Thanks if someone/people indeed know this info. It's been in the back of my mind, and I feel it'd be troublesome to search down this info myself.

I ordered one clip from US, and so far all sabers go well with it.

Even the Emperor's Hand? I mean I've seen some that look like they have FAT wheels on them. Like someone looked at the standard wheel and said "Nope, I need 28 inch spinning rims instead. Just because." Maybe it's just me, and it's some optical illusion visual thing about the photo perspectives.

I tested Guardian, EH, Empress and intiate V5.
I also have a clip from some other guys. I should give it a try as well. When I find it... It's definitely somewhere on my desk... I'm sure of it...
