Surefire U2 Question

seanmac45 · Feb 2, 2007

Greetings;

New to the board and my first post. I have just acquired a Surefire U2. My EDC is a 6z in a Milt Sparks combo mag/Surefire pouch.

Much to my annoyance, it would appear as if the light will not fit due to the pocket clip.

Can anyone recommend a belt pouch/holster that fits this unit?

It really is much larger than the 6z, so much so that I doubt I will carry it unless I can come up with a satisfactory belt carrier for it.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

SM45, Welcome to CPF. I would highly recommend a holster made by John Willis. If you do a CPF search you should be able to find him. Absolutely top notch. Cheers.

Thanks very much. I googled him and fired off an e-mail. I appreciate the suggestion.

You can remove the clip pretty easily just use your thumbs to push the plastic ring back and just spread the metal a little and go back and forth removing the clip. Pretty easy. To reapply the plastic ring just line it up and use the tailcap to press it on by twisting it on....Good stuff.

+1 for John

He made me two pouches and the quality and price can not be beat!!

Thanks! You saved me some money. I followed your directions and removed the pocket clip. Once done, I was able to fit the light into my Sparks leather mag/light combo pouch. It took five minutes to work it in and out as it was slightly tight, but now I am set.

This light puts the 6Z to shame. I think the U2 will become my primary carry.

Thanks to all for helping out a new CPF guy.

Hi and thanks for the pics;

I did send him an e-mail. No reply as of yet, but if he does get back to me I would be willing to pick one of those rigs up for my tac belt. How much do they run?

That kicks my duct tape holsters *** how much are they?

Kiessling · Feb 4, 2007

John is very busy but usually comes through.

IIRC this one was roughly about $20-25, but I could be wrong. The stadnard non-custom version was cheaper still.
I have not much experience with holsters and stuff, but for a piece of this quality and handmade at that I think the price is ridiculously low.

that is to be expected, theres a great deal of technological advance between the creation date of these two lights :grin2:

I had my U2 holster made in the same form factor and love it!!!

Hi Sean,

John Willis also makes excellent Kroma pouches. I say this as I own a couple and they are to me 5 star quality craftsmanship.

Hope that helps,
John

I have seen pics of the Maxpedition Universal and was wondering if all lights stick out at the bottom like the ones in the sample pics or only the longer ones. Is there a way to fully enclose the light??
