Holster recomendations.....
 

Springfield XD .45 with a Sure Fire laser TLR-2 sight underneath, rail mounted. Anyone?

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.

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...

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
