My night started this evening with trip to Target with the family and ended up with a little project I am pretty happy with. I got the idea to make a holster for my E2e out of a cheap leather minimag holster.
Now the E2e is fairly small and isn't hard to pocket carry but sometimes I just don't want it in my pocket and as small as it is I figured it would be very ubobtrusive on the belt.
So I started with the holster from Target which is on clearance for $1.48 right now.
Straight out of the package it is a VERY tight fit and the body of the light doesn't fit in far enough. So I made a cutout in roughly the same shape as the machined surface around the pocket clip on the light to allow it to fit further down.
To fix the tight fit I put the light in the holster and then soaked it in hot water. I removed the light and replaced it a few times and then let it dry. I also bent the bottom sides of the holster in to make it a little harder to accidentally hit the switch from the bottom.
Then I just used a sharpie on the exposed leather to make it looked a little more finished.
It works with both the standard E2e bezel and the KL1.
This isn't rocket science but I was happy with the results so I thought I'd share. I sometimes carry my 6P or G2 in a surefire nylon holster so this is unnoticeable compared to that and it only cost $1.50.
