I need an OWB holster made for a Glock 22 with a Surefire x300 light attached. I would prefer leather, with no thumbstrap. I have looked all over the web and cant find anything. Any Ideas?
Rusty Sherrick shows a leather OWB with thumb break on his site. I’m pretty sure he can make that rig without the thumb strap.
I know the website looks kind of cheesey, but check out Rocky at purekustom

he makes some really amazing holsters and I am sure he can design that holster for you.
I really like the raven for this need, but it is kydex…

Try FIST holsters…apparently they can mold some of their holsters to include a weapon mounted light for $25 extra. You have to call to confirm that they have your light.

+1 for Raven Concealment. Be prepared for a 75 day wait though.
Thanks for the intel guys. I think Raven will be getting some of my business soon.
Might take a look at the Model #167 for Aker Leather, the Nightguard, I think it can be had without a thumb break, you can give them a call. http://www.akerleather.com/
And there is the Halo from Galco, but I think it has a thumb break.

Only two productions holsters I can think of that come close to your requirements.
If you’re going to look at Kydex the Peters Custom Spada deserves a look as well.
I have one for an M&P with a X300 attached and I can barely get the damn thing out of the holster its so tight.
Did you talk to Peters about the issue?
My first one was for a G19 with X300 and while it was a little tight to start, 500-1000 presentations later it’s still retaining the gun. I would say that it broke in somewhere around the 100 presentation mark in my case.
I picked it up secondhand. Its so tight that once I get the gun in I have to yank as hard as I can to get it back out. This is when I’m not wearing the holster. Would something be different when I put it on? I haven’t taken it out to the range because the M&P isn’t on my permit yet. Other than this, its constructed nicely. Maybe I’ll just have to work it some more. It’ll be a workout.
I’d definitely mount it up and try again. It’s always harder to un-holster from a hand-held holster than a belt-mounted one.
I would be an idiot. Found that the problem was because my M&P is a spec-ops model with a threaded barrel and the threads were getting caught in the gap at the bottom of the holster. Took care of it with the Dremel.
