2.0 out of 5 stars It works, but not well., September 2, 2002

By	Systems_Consultant (Eden Prairie, Mn United States) - See all my reviews

I have owned a variety of high-end flashlights over the years and at one time worked as a Sheriff's Sergeant in a major metropolitan area. In that line of work a bright flashlight is a tool of the trade, and is carried at all times, even during the day.

A belt holder for a flashlight should keep the flashlight securely attached to the belt and allow the user to rapidly deploy and replace the flashlight with a minimum of fuss. It should allow the flashlight the freedom to swing and swivel to accommodate sitting in a vehicle and/or riding a snomobile, ATV or similar conveyance. This belt holder only accomplishes the first objective. While it does hold the flashlight securely, it tends to bind if one attempts to remove the flashlight without using a second hand to hold the ring perpendicular to the flashlight body and a second hand is required to hold the ring perpendicular to the flashlight body to return the flashlight to it's holstered position. The ring also has only limited freedom to allow the flashlight to swing forwards and backwards to clear obstacles and vehicle steats and saddles.

For casual use this product is OK. But for professional use, the product's single-axis swinging ring design detracts from it's usefullness. If you're serious about a flashlight holster, buy one of the all-leather products that has a ring that is soft and compliant and hold itself at 90 degrees to the belt ring. These can be obtained at a Police equipment supply.

4.0 out of 5 stars Keeps your Maglite handy and ready to use., July 25, 2001

By	Brian_C (Erie, PA) - See all my reviews

This is a must have item if you need to carry your MagLite with you while you're working. The only down side to its design is the weight of the 6D cell MagLite will eventually cause the snap holding the together to fail.

It will take a lot of abuse before it does fail and it sure beats holding the flashlite all night long.
