Does exactly what's expected. It keeps my G2 secured and has yet to come out when I didn't want it to. Even during foot chases I am never worried that I will not have a light at the end. Even though it does a great job of retention it is still very easy to get out.

Only downside is cost. This thing is way overpriced for what it is. But to get a perfectly fitted duty belt holder this is the only game in town so you have to pay to play I guess.

This is your basic type holster. nothing fancy. Made real "RUGGED" two issues I have had
1) When light is in holster facing up, if you sitting down the light will move in a certin way and turn on. Which I didn't know was on until I felt a burning pain in my side.

2)If light is in face down, it is a very snug fit and may scratch the upper part of the watch on the bezzel.

All in all I like it and have figured ways around some of the siiues. In my opinion its still one of the best because its made for the light, and you don't have to fool with any flaps to get your light out.

Pros:
I purchased this product as a primary light source as an alternative for a weapons mounted light. I placed the holster on the front of my Sam Brown within easy draw/reach for my weak hand. You can easily draw the light from this holster and move quickly into the Weaver without any difficulty. Draw is smooth and simple and holstering light is just as easy. Seems to be well constucted and should be durable/deployable for a few years.

Cons: Price should be reduced by at least $5.00. Flashlight sits a little high when used lamp down. Lamp down is a nice sleek fit. Lamp up draw is similar to the draw of a fresh mag in that you have to pinch grip and then rotate to deploy.

UPDATE!!!
Its now April 2011 and have been wearing product in the field under many circumstances. Have been an LE for 20 years and this is the most tactically sound way I've deployed a light. Quick out of the holster, easy to re holster. Strong product.

This light holster held a lot of promise, especially given Surfire's reputation. Unfortunately, in less than two months the internal metal completely broke leaving me with a useless piece of plastic. It was a great holster in those two months, but now I have to spend more money for another new holster.

This is supposed to be a speed holster yet it holds the flashlight way too snuggly no matter which end you insert this light. It is so snug that it gouged/scraped off the "6P" painted on my light and created a burr in the aluminum case of the flashlight. Fortunately removing the burr was easy enough, but the flashlight is defaced without a good story to tell. You're supposed to be able to insert the flashlight in either way, but only bezel side down stands a chance of a quick draw of my Surefire 6P LED. Otherwise, it's fine.

Good product, has more of a smokey gray color than black. That is my only complaint.
