SureFire nylon holsters not recommened?

[Catapult]

I read from a post months ago about using the SureFire holsters are not good for the SureFire light. Why is that? Are the SureFire holsters rough, therefore, it may wear the light eventually?

i'd have a hard time believing that nylon would wear ha3 any time soon...at least for those sf's that are ha3.

but having no experience with such a thing, i'm afraid i can't say why they wouldn't be recommended.

I believe that the story went like this....If you accidently turn the flashlight on, the holster melts. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif

I have a V82 for my E2e, very well made. The nylon is about twice as thick as my truck's tie down strap.

I've got two of them, one for my 9P, the other for my 9N. Both are well made. The only two negatives are that the Velcro wears out, and also comes apart from the nylon (stitching comes loose), but that has happened with most soft nylon products I've seen. The other problem is that if the light turns on for a long time, it will melt the nylon (as well as the Lexan lens). Again this will happen to any synthetic holster, nylon, Kydex, Uncle Mikes and Bianchi's fake leather, whatever.

nothing wrong with Nylon. The poly holsters I heard can stratch the finish.

Wouldn't have a problem with the melting, because it never happened before, and I always check my lights I carry (force of habit) to make sure that they are with me and that they are off.

Velcro wearing off? Everything wears off eventually... switches, buttons, finishes, the soles of our shoes...
