Looking for holster recommendations with picky criteria
Hey guys, I’ve read through an old post about light bearing holsters (and it’s awesome). I have a 365xl with 507k, TLR7 sub, and Wilson grip module and I’m hoping to find a non-sidecar holster with 2 tuckable clips, a claw, and minimal opening around the trigger guard.
From that old post, the QVO and slimfit seem to fit the criteria I am after but they have very long lead times. Before I put in an order, I just wanted to see if anyone has personal recommendations for a similar setup that I should check out before making my decision.
Also, to whoever made that detailed light bearing holsters post: you are a saint.

Tlr7 is going to be hard to find a small trigger gap. I switched to the macro for this reason. The issue is how thin the trigger guard on the xl is compared to the width of the light. That said I used the henry ember and put a small velcro strap across the gap to ease some of my concerns.
I agree, I have a TREX and a Tier 1 and both are good enough for me and about as small of a gap as possible but not ideal. But I have 2 365s and 2 TLR7s. My goal is to have a handful of holsters for different situations that are interchangeable with either gun. (Ulti clip and normal clip sidecars and this smaller holster for when I have to dress up for work). I don’t want to replace the two lights so I’m stuck there.
That post I referenced lists acceptable and not so acceptable trigger gaps. The Henry as well as werks, vedder, 4 bros, and others were the “not so acceptable.” Trex, T1C, ANR, QVO, and slimfit were the “best” examples. But I figured a personal reference on something else may help me.
I like that Velcro trick. That may broaden my horizons a bit. Thanks!
Yea, I apply it after I holed out the gun and then I put the holster on my belt. Or in case of the enigma, I put it on then. Then put the enigma on . It's not good for drilling, but it definitely makes me feel like a key or whatever won't slip in.
I know the post that your talk about. I think he only classified one as good to go with the xl and tlr7 and I don't remember which. Since I'm either using my enigma or bag 99% of the time and noy just a belt holster I'm stuck with a holster that can attach to the enigma.
I can vouch for the Henry, all I carry now!
