TBear Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Would a kydex holster built to accept a rail mounted light be legal for production class? Gun is a sig 226. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuflehundon Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Should be able to use it as long as you don't have a light on the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Should be able to use it as long as you don't have a light on the gun. Since most of those holster are built to retain the gun by the attached light -- no way I'd approve the use of that holster..... And with a light attached, the gun would go to open.....

TBear Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Good point. But, if the retention was ok without a light it would be ok then. I did read the rules for a production holster, they are pretty loose-no pun intended but it still made me smile. What was the old retention test? Jumping up and down? Does that one still apply?

I have a BT holster that is used for a light (X300) and the retention is exactly the same with or without the light. I can say the BT holsters do not rely on the light to retain or secure the firearm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biloxi23 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I have noticed that most on teh kydex holsters without an active retention mechanism use an indent in the kydex which fits into the ejection port to retain the pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
