Anybody tried this holster?

I was just wondering if anybody has tried these specific holsters?

It is a Fobus Tactical holster. I know Fobus makes decent stuff, although I would probably go with the belt holster over the paddle. What I am after is a LEFT HANDED holster that I can carry my M&P45 full size with Insight XTI Procyon light attached. I don't want to hear about your philosophy on weapon lights. I like it, and it works for me. Period.

I want this Raven holster really bad, and I like it better because it doesn't leave the light exposed.

The activation switches for the Procyon and WX150 (upgraded version) are independent of one another, and mounted on the side. I am concerned about one of the switches getting flipped by accident.


The one thing that worries me is the lack of secondary retention (I.E. thumb break, trigger guard latch, etc). I know that Kydex holsters place enough tension on the gun to keep it from "jumping out", but I don't want somebody to be able to take my gun off of me that easily either. The reality is, in my (hopefully) future line of work/volunteer time, that is of significant importance.

YEEEAAAHHH, I am pretty much decided on the Raven. I can OWB/IWB with it, and they have good reviews online. I never really liked Fobus, so... Fuck that Fobus. Raven holster as listed above, one of their double mag pouches, and a BLACKHAWK! 1.75" wide Instructors Gun Belt. The belt has kydex stiffeners in it. I am not really a fan of leather belts.

I have one for my glock 19 with sig-sauer light laser combo, it's not that bad, and the light switch is accesible(sp) without removing the gun.

Make yourself a custom knockoff copy of the Raven.

That's like $5 of Kydex--literally.

All you need is an oven and a heat gun. The grommets can be bought in a kit at the fabric store for another $5-7.

You read my mind! I made a leg drop holster once, (there is a thread about it) and it works pretty good. I have watched a few videos on how to make kydex holsters, and I have the know how and ability to build a kydex press. www.knifekits.com has all the stuff to make holsters. The lead time on Raven stuff is 12-14 weeks. I was considering buying the Fobus until the Raven shows up, but the more I think about it, the more I think I might just try and make one...

I have a Fobus and wouldn't buy another. I also have a Bladetech and would definitely recommend them. The Raven is also an excellent choice as is CompTac. I carry a gun for a living and I don't like to trust my life to sub par gear.

Looking at CompTac now. Thanks for the suggestion.
