steelhawk Report post Posted March 14, 2015 A customer sent me his light for a holster. I didn't realize how large the thing was until I got it. The thing is almost two inches long, 1 1/2 inches wide and 1 1/4 inches high. I can't make my normal style of OWB holster, using the trigger guard stitching to keep the gun from sliding down, since the light is so wide it prevents that. My only solution so far is a wide body and a closed end with an added thumb break for retention. Has anyone made a holster using this light? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
camano ridge Report post Posted March 14, 2015 There are some threads on making a holster for similar setup. Here is one http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=61259&hl=%2Bholster+%2Bwith+%2Blight#entry395386 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
troop Report post Posted March 15, 2015 I have done two with lights. I do only light hand molding, and use a Chicago screw so that the gun rests on it just under the barrel and above the light. have had no complaints so far. Tony Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
glockanator Report post Posted March 16, 2015 I did one for my G23 with a TTLR1. It pretty much looks like the just above my post. The only difference is i didn't use a Chicago screw. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steelhawk Report post Posted March 16, 2015 Thanks much. Using a Chicago screw is a good idea for something like this. It's easier than sewing the end shut. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
troop Report post Posted March 16, 2015 plus its molded just enough that the whole weight of the gun is not resting on the screw. it just keeps it from wanting to push all the way through. Tony Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dakotawolf Report post Posted March 19, 2015 Troop, I really like your tac-light holster. I think it there would be a lot of interest if you did a post on it. I know that I'd be interested in getting a closer look. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chiefjason Report post Posted March 21, 2015 IIRC, G20 with CT Railmaster Pro. Looks to be really similar. Built the holster longer so I could run the stitch line under the laser for a shelf. Retention was better than expected. Could have done even better without the reinforcement and more molding if it was OWB. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
