Just picked up a full size 9mm.  Who makes good light bearing holsters these days?  Used Raven years ago but I wasn't blown away.

Also I may consider using a compact frame when carrying so I have no idea as to compatibility between the two.

EDIT: after looking at other pics it looks like the TLR-1 sits slightly closer to the trigger guard on the compact frame.

Thanks and pics are always a plus

In the same boat as you.

was looking last night and the only thing I saw that looked halfway promising was at T.rex arms. They do a bunch of kydex and it appears they will do one of their models for the 320, with different lights. 

https://trex-arms.com/

Im thinking about trying them out but am hoping for some more options to consider first.

Saw those and have my eye on them. I don't think I saw an option for a claw that rotates the grip into your body more.

The JM kydex has the features I like but no light compatible models.

AIWB or IWB holster?
When I was looking for aiwb for the 320 JM only offered xc1 light compatible and I use a tlr1hl.
But for that purpose I'm pretty happy with the trex-arms.com raptor. Does OP want OWB or IWB or AIWB?

Maybe I'm blInd and didn't see it on their website. Off again I go, thanks!

Edit: didn't read all the replies first.  I'm looking for AIWB/IWB.

So the Sig store on their website sells Sig branded holsters by Black Point Tactical, and by Blade-Tech.

On the Black Point Tactical website, it looks like they offer their Mini-WING model for the full size 320 with TLR-1.  

http://www.blackpointtactical.com/shop/mwlm/

So that may be another option to consider.  I'm leaning toward trying the t.rex arms raptor.  I like that they offer the optic cut as well. Will report back if I do.

Just ordered a raptor from t.rex.  Seemed to be the best value with the shortest lead times.  Anyone have experience with them?

I've got a raptor for my 320c with TLR1HL. I haven't worn it extensively just yet (just finished doing more function testing with the gun, but it's good to go so I'll start carrying it now once I get it cleaned). But it conceals impressively well AIWB and seems pretty comfortable. Worst case scenario, can take the claw off and carry IWB. Looking forward to trying it out more in depth now.

Sounds good.  My plan is to carry IWB.  I'd love to carry AIWB but it just doesn't work for me.  Thanks for the info.

I have their Sidecar for my P320C. Love it. Feels comfortable and is very well built.

I just got my custom one from a forum member here. He did a great job and shipping was incredibly fast.

Goodmedicine is awesome. I've bought several holsters from him, and he's my go to for OWB. Gonna order one from him next week for my 320rx with streamlight TLR1HL.

I would use him but need IWB.

Just rec'd my t.rex holster, IWB, for my full size 320 with light.  Initial impression is good.  

This is the first holster I've gotten that's made for a light, and I'm pleased that the fit remains pretty good and the trigger remains adequately protected.  

I may now go back and order another for my p320 compact.

Just an update to this:

I was recommended to check out M3 tactical kydex. I was told they do quality work and their prices are reasonable.

I've got an IWB holster en route from them for my p320compact w/tlr1.

Will advise when it arrives, but I have high hopes

I was going to buy a holster and a few magazine pouches when they were on sale for $20-$25 each but I called them to see what kydex that they used and they told me that its a thinner kydex. so I did not buy any because of worrying if it would not last as long as the regular kydex holsters.

I forgot about this thread.  I went cheap and ordered one from Cleveland Kydex.  After ordering I found many horrible reviews for them so I was debating cancelling my order.  Decided not to and got it in recently.  Conceals well but rides higher than I'd like.  Also doesn't have common rivet spacing so I can't add a Raven claw.

I ordered the high sweat guard and it snagged on the slide stop lever so I ended up trimming back one side quite a bit to expose the lever.

No pics of it after the trimming, but I also have a Clinger Atom holster being made now which doesn't accommodate a light which will see much more use.Attachment Attached File

I'm very happy with my Safariland Model 7378 7TS™ ALS. I got it for my S&W M&P FS 9mm with a Surefire X300 Ultra. Holster is very well made and keeps gun secure. I bet they make them for the Sig too.
