Purchase refers to the grip placement when you access your weapon in its holstered state. A good purchase means you get the correct, web of hand fully into dovetail grip, that you will utilize when firing your weapon, no regripping is necessary. Double clips ensure that the weapons stays in the exact same position with very little travel either way, for a consistent purchase when accessing your weapon.

Its always in the same spot and you dont have to think much about where it is. Even in the dark you’ll be able to reach and access them. Same principle with regards to a good grip for EDC or sport shooting.
