Just purchased a Pro TLE/RL II, saved a little cash with a trade in so looking for a holster to fit the rail and future light. Any recommendations for this? Here is a pic of the growing family; Pro CDP II, Classic Custom Royal and the new TL/RL II.
I don't know what your intention is, but I think you need one holster for the pistol without the light and another holster for the pistol with the light attached. The holster will typically provide some retention around the the light and if you wear the pistol without the light in a light compatible holster, it will not fit properly.
There are very few leather makers that accommodate light mounted pistols, but nearly all will make holsters for a railed Kimber Pro. You may want to look at our OWB or IWB picture threads for some ideas.
While the Raven can be worn OWB or IWB just by switching attachments, I can't imagine using the holster as a light compatible IWB holster. My Raven is my primary IWB holster, and while it is quite thin, a model with a light attached would be a lot of kydex to stick in your pants.
jtq I think you are right. Thinking about it this morning I can never see carrying with the light. Adding the light would be a good night stand option though. Thanks for the links to the other thread. I have a little more searching on the web to do now.
I am going to a few shops tomorrow to see what there might be, but based on what i see so far it looks like a custom for this gun.
