Hi everyone. I am new here and have read through some threads for a few weeks now and you guys have some cool lights.
One of the reasons I started reading around in this forum was that it came in a Google search that I was doing for a Maratac AAA Belt Holster. I found this thread and it was useful and I found this thread which had a cool mod that I did...thanks. In the end what I found out is that there really aren't too many options for small flashlight holsters because they are so small and are usually easier to carry on a keychain or in your pocket...I'm sure there are but they may not be cost effective.
Since owning my Maratac AAA light (by the way I love this light), I have tried the pocket clip but almost lost the light a few times and I tried carrying it in my pocket but I didn't want to scratch up my light with a pocket tool that I carry and I also didn't want to mark up my cell phone screen by carrying it in my other pocket. This brings us to why I was searching for a holster in the first place.
So I got to thinking about making something and here's what I came up with. I can see many variations of this and it working on many small lights and other things. Tell me what you think.
I did two variations and took pics...the first is with paracord and a knot tied just long enough to slide over the light but not come off. The second is with paracord and a spring stop thing. In the second one I slide the spring stop to the side of the light and that makes the paracord not stick out like shown. I am going to mess with a other variations but this is the basics of the idea.
