What kind of holster..............

I am still looking for the right holster to put my 123 LSH in. What kind do you guys use and do you have a picture of it. Seems like I saw a picture of one in a kydex holder on this board but I can't find it.
Thanks Trent (CIA name Lumitoid) /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Trent, fellow Tarheel here, have you seen the new LS pouch at Arc?

I've got one arriving today.

I believe I saw a kydex holster for sell in the B/S/T Lights forum recently also.

Yes, Thats what I use now Joe. Im looking for one with some different features on it.
Thanks

Trent,
I use the Ripoffs CO-37. This is listed as made for the
Surefire E1e & Leatherman Juice, but it fits the ARC LS also. It has a metal belt clip so that you can clip it
on or off your belt.

Thanks for the info Hoghead

Yeah GREAT Info, thanks as well

Used to use nylon holsters with velcro but eventually wanted something that didn't make such a loud ripping noise. Now I use an old knife case with a snap flap. Length is perfect for the LSH with clickie but is just slightly loose so it rattles a bit, but it works for me (until I find something else better).

Hey, check this out. Will this work with the LSH-P?

This pouch is probably too narrow.
The LS's diameter is more like 15/16", which is a shame because the length sounds just about perfect.

I just ordered one to try it out. Sometimes the nylon has a little stretch in it. I also had to get one of the cell phone holders.

I'll let you know if it works.

If it doesn't stretch enough for your LS, you still may have the perfect holster for an Arc-AA.

I guess you will have to buy one now. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

cool, let me know eithr way. PM if you want. The site is pretty cool as well. They have pouches for all occasions /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yellowlaugh.gif I think I may get one of the Multi-Tool/Light Combos.

Well, I received the Ripoffs CO-137 holster today. I can get the LS in about an inch and no more. I'm going to try and heat it up a little with a hair dryer to make the nylon and vinyl a little more pliable and see what happens. If it works it will be a really nice carrying option for the LS.

To be continued...........

For what it's worth-----

I e-mailed Rip-offs about holsters for the 1x123 and the 2AA power pack. They suggested their CO-12 for the 1x123, and the CO-69 for the 2AA pack. Has anyone tried one of these holsters? I'm about ready to order at least the holster for the power pack (the 1x123 is in an old knife shealth that works well for now).

I looked at the CO-12 and I'd be suprised if the 123 fits:

What do you think?

I am in the process of reviewing a kidex holster now for the ARC-aaa (see I made something) and it is so far perfect in every way. I will be releasing my review soon and hope to talk the designer in to making one for the LS, hint. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

I took my leatherman wave pouch, split the seams, put in a one inch divider(to hold leatherman sideways) and a one inch border all the way around. There is enough room for LS4(cant wait!), two extra batts, The wave, More room for whatever I decide. All in a pouch the same size(a little thicker) and quailty of a leatherman. I have a one cell nuai(?) in there now. Its a sweet set up. I also added a reinforced loop and ring to hold keys or attach LS4s lanyard. On the LS4 side there is a velcro strap that will keep LS4 secure if I remove wave and forget to close pouch.

It fits!

It took about 10 minutes of "coaxing" the LS and warming the holster with a hair dryer but it finally fit. It's a little tight getting it in and out but after a couple of days of wearing and using it will be perfect. This is a great holster the LS.

Eric

GREAT! Was it the one that I suggested? If so then I will get it as well. I will use my heat gun. HAHAHAHAHA! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif
