I have (and really like) a BlackArch Protos Dual clip Link (Kydex with leather/breathable mesh sweat guard) holster. Super comfortable and super concealed. Unfortunately they don’t offer a light bearing option. I want to add a TLR7 sub (or very similar light) to the gun for use in low light situations.

Does anyone know of a similar holster that offers light bearing capability?

Thanks

Anyone ever bought a Black Arch backer and put a different company’s shell on it?

I have several of their holsters and like them.

I EDC a 226 with TLR1 HL with one of their IWC holsters.

Pics, if you please.

Thanks!

This was weird...I'm subscribed to this thread and couldnt find it in my subscriptions?

Anyway....
Theis holsters are very very similar to Crossbreed which are made here in Missouri, but Crossbreed did not make a light bearing holster for the P226. When I asked them if they had any plans to do so, I was told they were not going to. So I started looking around and found Theis. Turns out that Theis is less expensive than Crossbreed as well.



Domed phillips head bolt on bottom left is my fault... original backed out and was lost. I never contacted Theis to ask for a replacement, just ran to the hardware store and bought one. I've since loctited all remaining and the replacement bolt.






Theis makes two types of IWB hybrid holsters, one with rivets and one with bolts. Both of my light bearing holsters by Theis use bolts and have rubber grommets/bumpers that allow for the holster to adjust abit for the gun/light. The drawback to that is that the grommets/bumpers allow more lint into the gun than the rivet versions or Crossbreed (non light bearing holsters). Since I wear an undershirt, I get more lint into the gun than normal and instead of cleaning the gun once a month, (if it hasnt been shot), I need to clean it twice a month.  Okay....minor hassle for having a IWB holster that can comfortably carry a P226 with TLR1 HL on it all day.



Here is a pic of the three Theis holsters I have. I honestly dont have a Sub 7 for the XL yet, as I almost always wear the 226 because it's so comfortable.

You can see the non light bearing holster has rivets instead of bumpers/grommets.

I really like these holsters.

Thank you! I’m leaning heavily toward snagging one from Theis.

More people need to pressure Tenicor to support this combo. I asked and was told to carry a small flashlight. WTF. They offer the SAGAX LUX2 for G48 + TLR7-Sub and don't tell G48 owners to carry a small flashlight. Why not a CERTUM LUX2 for P365XL + TLR7-Sub?

P365XL with TLR-7

Nice! Thanks

This is how I'm leaning but I prefer AIWB and would prefer two clips over one. I really wish Stealth Gear or Black Arch would offer something.


Stealth Gear has a request form so everyone interested should send them a request for the 365XL with the TLR-7 Sub. I'm kind of amazed they haven't bothered as popular as this combo seems to be. For me the TLR-6 just doesn't cut it.
