Keeping your light on your gun but switching holsters
We have a lot of Cops come in here and ask us for paddle holsters that hold the TLR-1S flashlight. Some of the Pennsylvania State Troopers have recently switched to the Glock 21 but they are using the Surefire X300. The holsters are going to be different depending on the light you use, but it’s a royal pain for them to have to show up in court and have all of their duty gear on them. We had a lot of requests for these holsters and started stocking them. The problem with dealing with the Safariland product line is that it tends to be on the expensive side and some of the small time dealers don’t stock the real fancy holsters and rarely stock duty gear.
The Safariland 6280 is the most common duty holster in our neck of the woods but it’s not a good CCW or off duty holster. Nobody wants the rention even if they like Safariland holsters because the duty gear with the retention hood is meant to protect the Officers gun from being used against him or for flying out of his holster during a pursuit. The Safariland 5188 is the Glock 21 holster that is getting the most use around here and it does work with the Surefire X200 light if you are using that. Think about the holster you really are looking for before you pickup some odd ball flashlight that nobody makes a holster for.
