Maxpedition Sheath for Nitecore EA4?

Underworld_Magic · Apr 18, 2014

Hi,

Im the new owner of a Nitecore EA4, tested it last night and as really impressed.

As I work in law enforcement I would like to have a good sheath/pouch on my belt, and im not too impressed with the nitecore one you get with it - in the past, and currently im using Maxpedition pouches which are built like theyll last for life, so was looking around for a pouch which is sizeable enough for the EA4 to fit inside.

Any suggestions? Id be open to other manufacturer suggestions too of pouches.

I have the Maxpedition sheath for my Malkoff, great build quality, seems super duty. I say go for it.

Thanks. Do you know which one will fit the Nitecore EA4?

This is the model I have, the 4 inch flashlight holder. They make a 5 inch, and a slightly smaller sheath that has velcro straps for attaching to a belt vertically.

After looking at the Nitecore EA4 on their website, it doesn't look like the sheath I have will work. I'm not sure if anything they make will fit something that fat.

Thanks, I searched around the maxpedition site and don't think they have anything suitable for the EA4 , The have a nice universal flashlight/baton holder, but thats for flashlights which have a large bezel, the EA4 would just slip out the bottom and fall.

Looks like i'll have to stick with the holder which came with the flashlight

Thanks for looking

I have a VISM First Responders Utility Bag, and one of the things it came with was a Rifle Magazine pouch that is just the right size for my EA4. It is probably a little deeper than I would like, but I put the EA4 in bottom first and let the end of the lanyard hang out over the edge at the top. Comes right out, but is held securely. I doubt that if I would turn the bag upside down and shake it that the EA4 would come out. I would guess that Maxpedition should have similar ones. The one drawback would be that the pouch attaches with PALS and does not have a belt loop per se. Mine has two PALS straps that snap at the bottom, so I guess they kinda make a belt loop.

If you are in doubt, find an Army surplus store and look over their selections. That is where I found a really nice pouch for my G2. The ones I have been in all had a LEO section.

Thanks for your suggestions mate - really appreciate it, I'll make my way to a Army surplus store; that'll be the best way - internet is not always nest for these things.

You may also want to look at some of the Nite Ise holsters and cases.

I just put my D40A(which is about the size of your E4A) in the holster and it fits pretty snug.

Thanks. Is it this holster: http://www.niteize.com/product/Lite-Holster-Stretch.asp

I saw this but was initially concerned about the EA4 slipping through

I use that same holster, only it has the Ultrafire name-tag on it, for my Fenix TK41. Stays well in place

That's the one, and you wont have to worry about it slipping thru. It is also fairly inexpensive.
