Perfect fit for Streamlight Strion LED,
By ppmd "Professional" (Arizona, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Blackhawk Gladius Flashlight Holder with MOD-U-Lok Attachment (Misc.)
It's as if this holster was made for the Streamlight 74301 Strion LED Flashlight with AC/12-Volt DC and 1-Holder, Black!
I have been looking for a non-velcro light holster that can be easily removed from the belt for the Strion LED and this one fits the bill perfectly. The clip does not scratch or damage my dress pants. The base that attaches to the belt is slightly wide (which takes a bit of belt real estate) but provides a very very stable platform which holds the flashlight retention mechanism. The base also adjusts to varying belt widths, so you can wear your tactical Instructor's Belt or wider with perfect fit. The light retention portion is very versatile. If needed, the light retention portion can be tilted (canted) to make it more comfortable when you sit down or to help you with the "draw" of your light. It captures the flashlight in a very positive fashion when holstered, so there is no mistaking that your light is in the seated and locked position on the holster. This can be done by feel, similar to drawing and reholstering a gun, with ease. I use the holster with the lens portion facing down, which is the intended light position for this holster. The design of the holster makes the protective portion extend out away from the body a bit more than the convention Denier nylon / velcro holsters, so you will have to accommodate your movement accordingly to minimize contact of the holster with your surroundings. I do not work in any sort of law enforcement capacity, but do frequently use the light for other purposes. It's amazing the number of times one uses a light when it's so readiy available - certainly more than one needs a knife or gun. Update 5/30/2011: This flashlight holster is still holding up perfectly cosmetically and functions just as well after DAILY use and wear for the last 6 months. It seems like the price has come down a bit as well - a bonus for those who purchase now. I do not use the rubber retention band (removed the first day I got the holster). I wish there are other similarly constructed Blackhawk holsters which can accommodate other flashlights. This holster is a winner in my book and I will continue to wear it daily until / if it breaks.

Good for everyday use,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I use this product everday. I remove and replace my flashight from the holder at least 10 times a day. I bought the holder and quickly removed the rubber retainer strap. I am usually wearing goves which makes it hard to quickly unbuckle and remove the flashlight. The resistance the holder itself applies to the flashlight is more than adequate. I am climbing in and out of tight places and jumping up and down constantly. I have yet to have my flash light fall out. I like the fact that this holder doesn't use any type of nylon or velcro. Those types of holders only last me about 6 months, if I'm lucky. It also gives you the option to use it on a 2" LEO tactical belt or a smaller dress belt. I've only used this one for about 2 months, but I've had absoulutly no problems. I recommend this product to anyone who needs a good quality holder for their flash light. Just make sure your light fits before you buy it.

Very Secure and Durable,

This review is from: Blackhawk Gladius Flashlight Holder with MOD-U-Lok Attachment (Misc.)
I use the Blackhawk Gladius Flashlight Holder with MOD-U-Lok Attachment in conjunction with my BlackHawk® Night Ops Gladius(tm) Illumination Tool, COYOTE TAN. It is made from very durable material that will hold up to daily use and abuse. I have had mine for about 5 years and it has functioned flawlessly. Although I use it for the Gladius this holster will work on any flashlight that has a 1.25" diameter bezel and a 1" diameter body.
The Mod-U-Lok belt mounting attachment system allows you to easily remove this unit from your belt without having to remove accessories off of a duty belt or personal belt. This saves a lot of time and inconvenience especially if you are in a rush. You also have the ability to allow the holder to be mounted at various angles for easier flashlight deployment depending on your needs or gear set up. The flashlight can be positioned horizontally, vertically or at an angle. I have also used this holder to mount the flashlight on to some of my Maxpedition packs that have MOLLE attachments. The one big drawback that I have is that the Blackhawk Gladius Flashlight Holder is not low profile and is a bit bulky especially when attached to MOLLE gear. The holder comes with a retention strap for added security but I removed it simply because it is not needed and becomes an inconvenience if you are using your flashlight often. The holder will secure your flashlight and there is a very remote chance that it would come out without your knowledge as it is securely held in place. Once a year I recommend that you tighten the Phillips screws that attach the base plate to the holder just to make sure that it doesn't come loose. I tighten mine once a year and the screws are usually very secure and tight but it is always a good idea to perform some routine maintenance on your gear to ensure that it continues function. The Blackhawk Gladius Flashlight Holder is strong, durable and has lasted me a long time without any problems. My only gripe about this holder is that it is a bit on the bulky side but this is in no way a deal breaker. 2115|RXC4UKQPSSL7I;2115|R2B9AP9F9ANZR6;2115|R15JIV30JAT7P8;
