Drew and M4arc - thank you both very much! I appreciate your answers. I’ll let you know what I hear back from Safariland as well, if they reply.
Hmmmmm - RCS may just be the answer, if the 6005 does not work. I had thought about using a heat gun to widen it a bit, but I was afraid it would make the bail have problems. I could have RCS just build me exactly what I need.
Drew - that VM2 is sweet! I have one for when I want to IWB a full-size 1911. It just makes it disappear, and is comfy all day. Terrific piece of leather.
M4arc is right I think about thr DG switch for the 300. I “think” the position of the DG switch is in the same general area as the activation switch for the 417. I don’t think they will be compatible. I was wanting to set my 19 up with the same switch for my 300 but quickly realized it would be a bo go with the CTC installed. Now-having sais all of this-i could be wrong!
No wonder Safariland did not reply, they probably thought “What is this booger-eater talking about??”
I may just try it. They have a 30-day risk-free trial. Worse comes to worse, I’ll either keep the LG-617 and turn that pistol into a house gun, or send the unit back.
Thanks, Drew - I appreciate your ability to read numbers, a skill I lack.
The switch for the Crimson Trace is “easily depressed.” It’s going to take a bit of work to not have a laser ND with it.
It did actually fit in the Safariland 6005 holster, without resorting to use of the Dremel. (A device that strikes fear in the heart of both holster and owner. :eek: ) It was close, but it did fit.
I have a Blackhawk G-17 orange “dummy gun” on the way, and am going to drill a hole to mimic the receptacle for the trigger housing pin. This will allow me to mount my X300 with DG-11 light on the front rail, and the Crimson Trace laser grip. I can practice my switchology and my draw stroke, without fear of inadvertent loud noises.
The only other real concern I have, is being able to simultaneously not have a laser ND, and yet avoid limp-wristing the pistol. That’s going to take some serious range practice, I think.
Any word on if this is confirmed? I would expect this to be the case as I postulate that the DG switch would probably rest right on top of the CT switch with enough tension to turn the CT into a constant on type laser (not ideal IMO), but I’m holding out hope becuase if it turns out that two are compatible together (which I doubt) it would be great for my purposes, so if anyone can weigh in I’d definiately appreciate the insight…Oh well may have to give the X400 a try
You are absolutely correct.
It’s going to take a bit of work to not have a laser ND with it.
