Title: Need suggestions - IWB holster
Post by: A1WOLF1 on November 04, 2010, 04:13:10 PM
I have a 4" XD45 w/ a Viridian, C5L laser/light connected to the rail and Im looking for suggestions for a IWB holster that will fit the attached laser/light combo. The problem Im finding is, holster manufacturers dont list which of their light bearing holsters will fit a Viridian. I believe that since the C5L is so small it will probably fit almost any holster designed to fit a light. Im looking for manufacturer suggestions and opinions on Kydex vs leather and anything else you can think of.
Thanks

I'm a big fan of the Silent Thunder by Tucker Gun Leather (actually it is Garrett Industries).  It is leather lined kydex with an adjustable cant and retention.   I don't like a big piece of leather against me nor do I like kydex rubbing my pistol's finish so this is  just perfect for me.  Since I got mine they have began making several newer versions - the "slim" model looks interesting.   

I don't know if they make them for light attachments but you can ask.  They have been just outstanding to deal with.

Fist Holsters will make anything you want.  I had them make a holster for me and I love it.  Get on their web sight and check them out.  I'm sure they list a phone # so you can give them a call if necessary.

FWIW

My advice is to contact Viridian. Somehow I'd bet that they might have a list. If they don't they're idiots, as it seems a basic thing to say when trying to sell your product over Crimson trace etc. Good luck.

PS There are a fair few folks who will make a custom rig in the $50-$100 range.

I have looked for holsters like you are looking for.  Even when I bought my xd pachage that came with a light and a holster, the holster only had an external rail for the light.  All I can think of is custom built.

Some members here have contacted andy and been pleased with his products:
