Holster for Surefire L5?

[carmel]

Does anyone know a belt holster that will hold the SF L5? The L5 is 6 1/8" long (with the fat bezel).

Thanks!

leng,

Thnaks; but the L5 is an inch longer than the M2, with a larger bezel - have you tried it in a pouch made for the M2?

Carmel,

My apologies, I should've mentioned this before. Not all M2 pouches are made the same, I at first had one that didn't fit but another member had the L5 that fit perfectly in an M2 pouch.
I called SOE gear mentioned to them it's being used for an L5 not an M2, they made me a 'custom' one for me. Basically they moved the upper clip 1 inch lower on the top latch, so it meets the bottom clip a bit lower. This therefore gave more slack to accomodate the L5's larger bezel. They were very helpful don't hesitate to call them and request the same adjustment.

Good luck

Good luck...

I use the holster that is on their X5T page, the one they sell in addition to X5T.
I use 2 strips of Velcro stuck together (glue sides together) to allow the Velcro flap to have more "reach".
This allows my L5 to fit quite nicely and even has the option for either vertical or horizontal carry.

This method also works for the Streamlight 7LED 4AA, and other difficult to carry lights. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif
