mag 3d holster or case

[ZippyDan]

im looking for a full body "case" for a mag 3d. something that will protect the entire body from casual dings and scratches, including the front. i hestitate to say holster since that implies to me incomplete coverage. ive seen some cases that cover the whole light, have a zippered head section and clear plastic front so you could theoretically operate the light without taking the case off. anyone know what im talking about ?

 

[ZippyDan]

anyone?

i've seen rubber guards for the bezzel that could help. maybe that was only on the AA minimags.

May be a bit expensive but possibly you could try a pelican case.

 

[bones_708]

sounds like that would be something you would have to get made.

Dan, you could build your own. I have made this one, used an old rucksack:

wow. i find it hard to believe that no one has made a holster/carrying case for a flashlight as successful and omnipresent as the mag

 

[ZippyDan]

still looking for this...

I dont think i've ever seen one. I've seen the rings where you can carry it on your belt. But i think the reason why there isn't too many holdsters for this is because the usualy C/D sized mags are a little large for belt carry. There are several custom holdster makers though. John Willis here comes to mind.

I have to wonder what the point of protecting the light is when you won't get to see it anyway?

:buddies:

Hmmm...Ripoffs makes one for the 3C, but not the 3D. I guess that's because it's actually for an ultra stinger.

Hey,

I would say get a Pelican case... But they are a bit pricey!

If you want a low-budget Pelican competitor, what about PVC? Sure, it would look ghetto (oops, not politically correct, I meant "field-expedient"), but it would cost < $10. Roll the flash in cloth or bubble wrap, and it would be nearly indestructable.

Is the head and the body the same size as the 1D? Its just longer?

 

[ZippyDan]

i did not know there was a 1d!

1D's are custom cut-down modifications.

Anyway, what's the point of a cover for the 3D mag anyways? There's better lights out there that are worth protecting... Lighter and brighter. Besides, if it gets dinged up, they're cheap to replace and found almost everywhere.

You can easily put $100 into a $20 3D to create an ROP or a Malkoff LED, and that's before a custom body color or waterdrop head. If you don't want it to be a shelf queen, putting it in a holster or case makes sense. Part of the fun of modding is having something different - and showing it off!
