I liked the Crossbreed Supertuck IWB with my old P250 Subcompact. Not sure about the laser, that might require a custom job.

This may sound a little silly, but try a crosman holster (yes the pellet gun company.) They are cheap but well made and fit some oversize guns well.

light compatible holsters
 
I like Raven Concealment Systems. I believe they make a holster for this application. Expect to spend about $100 for this application.
RCS is all I use right now.

I saw the thread title and was all about some leather IWB goodness until I saw that light. Raven would be a good choice. Another option for less money for about the same product would be a Felon Mk1 from Zero Concealment Systems. Can be made just about any way you want it. Figure about $65. -J

Start by taking that b.s. light off so it will actually fit in a holster.

Why in the hell would anyone feel the need to carry a gun with a light on it, unless you are a cop? I think someone has seen too many movies or played too many video games.

I have to be honest, I can't fathom why one would want to carry a weapon in that configuration unless you are in law enforcement or a soldier in the field. Lots of better options, plenty with a laser if you like.

Home defense only......if I carry outside the home the light comes off. But I'd like to store it at home in a holster with it attached......if I can't find one that is convenient, I will do without...

Jeff Higgins 04-02-2014 03:53 AM

O.k., great home defense rig, no doubt - but why a holster then? I think that's going to be a tough one.

onewhippedpuppy 04-02-2014 05:11 AM

If you dump the light you'll have tons of choices for an XD. With the light I suspect you'll have to find someone to make you a custom one.

Get a iwb kit from Old Faithful Holsters and mold it yourself.

I did shoot a cop's Glock with a light on it like that one and he had a holster for it. Can't remember what it was, but I suspect it was Safariland, as they tend to make the best retention holsters.

JTO 04-02-2014 09:40 AM

Statistically, 80% of the violent encounters happen in low light. With this being the case, what business do you have shooting someone if you can't positively identify that they are a threat? A weapon light allows you to do this without sacrificing one's typical shooting grip. A handheld light is better than nothing but much more difficult to use under stress.

So yes, I'm in the camp that all of my self-defense guns have weapon mounted lights. And I carry the handguns inside the waistband typically, with a well designed holster. This is how I've been trained and how we practice.

The issue is identifying the threat. A white light allows this to happen. A laser is an aiming device, not a threat identifier.

It has a switch, laser only, light only or light and laser combo. Very well engineered.

I've got a Safariland for my 6" barreled 1911. What I like about it is it's got a tension adjusting thumb screw so I can tighten it up so the gun can't fall out, then when I'm on the firing line (steel plates etc) I loosen it off so the gun draws very quickly.

LOL!!! I'm with Jeff on this. Finding a holster for it with a flash light on the end will be a challenge for sure.

Well I HAVE had a Private Investigator's license for many years. Domestic work can be dicey.

911boost 04-02-2014 11:35 PM

5.11 LBE Holster will work with or without the light. Try Streichers online just to get ideas or you can get it there, I have had good luck using them.

I would Take it to a local gun show and fit with a more generic nylon/padded holster. I would guess you'd want to protect your furniture as well as the pistola, if for in house,housing. HehHeh.i used to have that same piece in .40.

legion 04-03-2014 05:52 PM

I have a Blade Tech (Holsters | Blade Tech Gun Holsters | Knives and Tactical Gear) drop holster for my G17 with light. Very high quality and the most expensive holster I own. When the **** hits the fan, this will be on my hip.

For concealment, I have shoulder holsters, Sneaky Pete holsters, ankle holsters, pocket holsters, small of the back holsters, and a date book with holster inside.
