Masterfire holster
Anybody have any experience with the masterfire system from surefire? Im looking for a retention holster for a railed 2011, 1911, and various glocks (all with RDS) and this looks like the ticket, but I am concerned that it won't cover the trigger adequately. Any and all input or suggestions welcome.

I use one, replaced my modded 6004; used with my P30LSes with X400UH-GNs, RMRs, and HKParts MicroComps. I will note that SureFire has been kind enough to replace my X400Us as I sent them in for repair for X400UHs. My main concern is that there is no way to keep the safety from getting swiped off, particularly if you run ambi safeties. The lack of RDS coverage also presents issues for anything outside of standard square range drills; I've dug pretty deep holes with my RMR while using my MasterFire and going into urban prone with a rifle.
I have been able to mod mine with some extra Kydex to address both of those problems for my set-up, though it also turned into a bit of a monstrosity; @orionz06 originally came up with some ideas for me, which I then modified further to get a working product. Here it is next to the old 6004:
As you can see, there is a lot of extra room up top; this is because I need to pivot the gun significantly to get it to draw properly, due to needing to clear the laser module from the cutout on the bottom, which I think is an issue specific to the X400UHs, and should be minimal for the X300UH and XH series:
For the issue with the safety, I rigged up a second piece of Kydex specifically to engage and hold the safety in place:
I like the holster well enough, and can still do urban prone on the right side and stuff if needed. I run it for both competitive shooting and for tactical cosplay purposes. I can't speak with the compatibility issues with the 2011s/1911s, but I'd imagine that's a very valid concern; I might be able to find out next time I go shoot competition, and see if I can't get some of the guys to let me try it out real quick after the matches.

Your setup looks like it is as good as its going to get with the current iteration of the masterfire. I guess I need to decide whether or not I'm willing to put the time and effort into making it work. I somehow didn't consider the damage potential to the RMR with it being so exposed (probably because I haven't found any suitable holster to carry any of the listed guns minus the glock to carry OWB). Thank you very much for the detailed reply and pictures, definitely gave me a better idea and more to think about!
