From my thread on the LED Discussion of 2/2/02:
"I originally tried using a lanyard but couldn't get a steel D-ring into the hole for attachment to my company, break-away, safety lanyard.
Going to a holster, the X-5 was too large for the Maglite AA cordura holster. The leather Maglite AA holster, also too tight, was wetted inside with water and I jammed my plastic Lightwave 2000 into it overnight. The Inova slips in, reaching 4/5's of the holster length, until it strikes the inside of the metal fastener. It's a bit top-heavy, but secure, and leaves a good part of the flashlight out for an easy draw.
For a better balance look, I sawed off 3/4 inches off the bottom of the holster, and darkened the leather cut with a black marker."

I often carry my Inova X5 in a Mag AAA nylon holster (I just changed this in accordance with KT's post, since I got the idea from him in the first place) that I've stretched out. It is a perfect, smooth fit. The old Surefire 6P holster is also a good fit, but they're a little hard to find. The contemporary 6P holder also works, though it's a bit loose.
I also have some "Rip-Off" holsters that hold the Inova plus a 6P/ASP Triad /Scorpion
etc. PLUS two 123a batteries taped end to end. It's very compact, about 5.5" x 3", and I've modified the velcro flap so that it neatly covers everything. Unfortunately there is no model # on the Rip-Off label.
