IWB Holster for Laser/Light Equipped Firearm?

I carry an M&P 40 with the new Viridian C5L Green laser/light combo. It is the smallest, lightest, sweetest combo ever. Here is the link http://www.viridiangreenlaser.com/virid ... aser-sight" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I bought an OWB holster from Viridian made for that set up but it is terrible. It is a belt holster, leans away from the body and is totally un-concealable. I ordered the Cross Breed Super Tuck Deluxe which is awesome but wont allow me to carry with the laser/light. I am thinking if I can find a Kydex holster made for the combo that I could install it on my CrossBreed Super tuck for a custom rig.

Does anyone know of a Kydex holster that will fit the M&P 40 with the Viridian C5L on it?

I'm not familiar with the Viridian C5L but the Raven Phantom LC is a good holster.

Congrats for your laser/light? How does it hold zero? DId you have a chance to zero it and have some range time with it?

As for the holster, you can either do a custom Kydex skin or use a belly band.

RCS is great.

Also see Sidearmor.

You say the holster leans out, away from your body? Are you using a gun belt?

While a poor OWB holster can cause that, it seems to be more common with a wimpy belt.

By custom Kydex skin do you mean have it formed for my gun and laser? Where can I get that done? I am in the Houston, TX area.

The belt is thick and stiff but I generally don't like belt holsters. If I wear an OWB holster it is usually a paddle holster. The holster is the problem here. It also has terrible retention and isn't adjustable. Thanks for the comment though.

So how easy is it to get the C5L on and off?

I have had several hundred rounds through my gun with the laser and the zero holds very well. I am thrilled with it.

I may get a C5L for my PX4SC. However the sweet price range I would like to pay is less than $230 the saame I paid for my TLR-2

You'll be amazed at the size, quality and weight of it. It weighs almost nothing. It's worth every nickel. I have wanted a light and laser for a long time but this is the first one that is small and light enough that it isn't just a ridiculous toy. Viridian really got it right with this one.
