Loosen the tension screw then use a wooden dowel to tap it back in. A little epoxy may help. You can also just leave it out. If you ever get brass/debris in there, it can be a pain to clear out and it will obstruct the reholster.

Thanks for the tip. I might give it a try later. Is there any downside to leaving it out? The light doesn't stick out the end, but I imagine they put it on there for a reason.

I wouldn't bother. I took it out of my duty rig so my U-Boat would fit. I haven't damaged the lens.

I was able to get it in. Thank you for the advice! And yeah, the U boat does't come out the end of the holster but I'm still paranoid of something getting in there and messing it up.

I've got 3 or 4 Safariland holsters and I always pop that cap out. I imagine it's there to protect the lens, but I somehow occasionally wind up shooting in the rain and like not having a rain collector in my holster.

I had mine pop out twice, so I said fuck it. In and out of a Cruiser for 4 years, fights with Shit heads, and going through dense woods or cluttered homes. My X300U is fine.

Happened to me. Someone's brass ended up in my holster and I was unable to reholster and activate the retention hood. Absolutely impossible to get out without taking your belt off, unless you can stand on your head... |
