I’m looking for something different from my standard Bladetech, owb.  Anyone tried Upper Hand Holsters?  Others I should look at ?  Must be compatible with the TLR1 HL

I have two holsters made by Upper Hand; one for an M&P45 2.0 and one for a G17+TLR-1HL (also fits my G45+TLR-1HL and Radian Ramjet/Afterburner just fine). I also have a kydex Magazine+Handcuff combo pouch made by them. They make high quality stuff and run sales pretty frequently. Buy with confidence!

Now, if you're looking for a duty type retention holster than can accommodate a G21+TLR-1 and RDS, then US Duty Gear is probably the only game in town. Safariland (or also US Duty Gear) if not running any optics. Check eBay and you can sometimes find some hidden gems!

I recently bought a Havok holster for my 21-5 with TLR.  I did have to add two rubber spacers to have a looser grip but it is a good fit with no retention.

Upper Hand is G2G, I have a macro light bearing OWB from them that’s very nice.
You see that head come apart?

I wound up going Havok for my 21, and an upper hand for a 45 with the same light.

So far I’m much happier with the upper hand fit, lead time, etc.  

I have an older DSG or DSA for a 17 w/light that’s pretty decent too.

Current favorite and go to for  everything is still a plain old bladetech
