Hi CPF,
I have a few lights that I want to carry but don't have any carry options at the moment besides "bottom of the pocket" carry.
1. HDS Rotary
No pocket clip.
Holster = $50 <--------------> Is this the only way to carry it? Any creative minds out there figured out other useful ways of having it on their person?
I usually have it on my possession, but in an EDC case. Would like to have it on my person and thus far the 4Sevens Preon 2--due to form factor and pocket clip--is the one I reach for.
2. Surefire 6P & 6PX Pro
I have both of the above, and no carry options right now. Specific purpose is backpacking and hiking. I want one of the two on me.
Surefire holsters:
The good ones are expensive (eg. Z85A) and the cheap ones won't last very long due to the Velcro. I want a holster that 'snaps' on, with a solid button. Not too keen on Velcro, but I wouldn't mind a button/velcro combo. That has deterred me from the cheaper Z series Surefire holsters among others.
Other part of the carry system that I have already is my old trusty 5.11 1-3/4" duty belt.
Lastly:
CR123 cells? What are some methods of carrying them safely, specifically for EDC and wilderness backpacking. I don't want to spend $100 on some overpriced piece of milled-out titanium. I saw some good ones at CountryComm, are those the cheapest/best?

Thank you.
