    Looking for Low Profile Kydex (or injection molded) Light Carrier/Holster

    Looking for a minimalist 1.5 inch belt loop Kydex/Injection Molded flashlight carrier for:


    A. Surefire e1B with a Malkoff head (Bezel is approx. 1.10 inches)

    B. Quark 4 Sevens 1 cell (CR 123) (Bezel is approx. .85 inches)


    The paradigm is similar to that of the Custom Carry Concept Basic Mag Carrier- the absolute intersection of Function and Leanness.

    THX in advance. If I have forgotten a needed parameter, please let me know and I will add.

    Unfortunately there are few if any good current choices. Hopefully a holster maker who works in Kydex or other polymers will produce something.

    The CCC basic light pouch was a really nice design.

    I used to want the same thing. But I got hooked on Blue Force nylon belt pouches. They are sold as mag carriers but they accommodate a bezel-down diameter from 1 to 1.4 inches. I have other nylon belt pouches from a couple of other companies (SnakeEater, Mastermind) and even a belt tourniquet pouch for bigger lights. Any light I carry has a Thyrm Switchback so bezel down is a must for me. Another benefit of the nylon pouches is that it just collapses down to nothing when the light is not in them. The only drawback is that you can't put the light back into the pouch with one hand - which has never been an issue for me.

    I use the BFG pouches with RCS pocket shield to carry a macro stream & pom spray or 2 speedstrips for the 43c or a spare mag for the G48 or 365xl.

    I have one from Wilder Tactical, but I would need to check the dimensions.

    I have one for the E9/E5 and one or two for the E5R-G4.
    The E5 is .99 in.
    The E5R-G4 is 1.1 in
    I also have a couple of the Nylon holsters that came with the lights.
    The E5 is my EDC and the holster looks like new. These things are tough.
    I also found that if they need to be adjusted for tension a heat gun works very well to loosen or tighten.
    I wear these on a 1.5 in. Wilderness instructor belt and they stay on until you take them off. They won't fall off on their own.
    I used the nylon holster that came with the E5 until I wore it out. Cut the flap off and the elastic was snug enough to hold the light in place.
    After I wore it out I opted for the polymide holsters.

    I ordered a couple of these yesterday.

    ttps://www.etsy.com/listing/257558164/kydex-adjustable-retention-flashlight?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=a ll&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=kydex+flas hlight+holder&ref=sr_gallery-1-3&sts=1&variation0=2427993171&variation1=8338355 17

    While I will not know how it works until it arrives, the seller is responsive, and the reviews are good.

    Received the shipping notification today. That was fast for an item which is made to order.
