Hey guys, I'm just looking for some suggestions for a drop leg holster for my P226. I have tried the 6004 and love it but I have since purchased a Surefire 6V weapon light for it and, for weight's sake, would rather not get the 6004 that accommodates this combination. I need a holster that can accommodate my pistol with the Surefire light rail attached. Are there any options, nylon or kydex, that rival the 6004's stability? I know Eagle makes one but I don't know if it will fit my setup and haven't heard any reviews. I saw this on a google search: Seal Action Gear 4.0  Apperently this company contracts out to Eagle Industries. It's nice because it can be form fit for your weapon. What do y'all think? |

Two words: Safariland 6004. I know you distinctly said that you were not into them but once you get used to operating the retaining hood, which does take a LOT of practice it's one of the best drop leg rigs, IMHO. I own one for my CZ 75 (which works with the Beretta 92 one). Does the rig really need to accomodate the light mounted while holstered? |
I have used the 6004 with the P226 alone and I love the rig. It's just that they don't make a holster that will accept my pistol with the Surefire light rail w/out the light attached.
I don't want a holster for the gun light combo but I do want it to be able to accommodate the weapon with the Surefire rail so that the light can me deployed quickly. |

George, I have a 6004 that was made for my 5" government 1911. I recently purchased a Springfield TRP Operator with full light rail. I mention this because I wanted to dedicate this holster to my TRP as Safariland doesn't make the 6004 for this particular gun. I took a "heat shrink gun" and heated the outside of the holster to the point where I could mould the holster with my fingers. While it was still hot I slid the gun in the holster, shaped it a little and let the holster cool with the gun still in it. The TRP fits like a glove. Just my .02 MadDog
