Hi Everyone -
I'm looking for a flashlight holder for a SF C2 to go on a 2.25" belt. Leather would be ideal but not necessary; bezel-down carry is an absolute must. Open-top/friction-fit would be better, but something with a retention flap would be OK too.
For the last few years, I've used a custom made leather holster, but it suffers from two problems. First, the retention is not great and during a run or climbing around things, the light will sometimes fall out - not a good feeling. Second, the bottom is open - the lether just kind of folds under the bottom and retains the light. Now that the leather has worn a little and softened up, the light sometimes falls straight through the holder and out the bottom.
I did some searching here and found the following options in posts a few years old:
Comp Tac - have some of their other stuff, and it's solid. However the design is pretty minimalist and I'm worried about retention and protection of the light.
Surefire V85 - looks like I may not even have the belt real-estate for, it's huge.
Surefire V70 - looks decent?
Just hoping one of you guys may be aware of something offered more recently, or might have some good first-hand experience or recommendations.
Thanks in advance!!
