Shaun Haynes Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 After a decent pistol torch and vun and pistol light holster for my we g17. I had the nuprol belt mount paddle holster which was a nice fit for gun but really uncofmtable to wear on my rigger belt. Woukd prefer a harder shell holster like hard plastic or kydex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayjay Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 There's a replica safariland at Taiwan Gun.. Will need a slight bit of dremelling though to fit the WE G17.. only took me 10 mins though to carve a channel for the little nobbly bit that protrudes from the slide. http://www.taiwangun.com/en/holsters/tactical-thigh-holster-for-g-series-with-weaponlight-olive-cs?from=listing&campaign-id=14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayjay Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Yeah can do I guess. Though it is literally a case of taking a dremel to it to make a 1/2mm deep channel on the inside. The only downside I've found to this holster is the quality of the straps (which could of course easily be changed - But I'm lazy and haven't yet). Compared to the real safariland the straps feel like torniquets if you want it to actually stay flush to your leg. Even compared to other cheap universal leg holsters they are poor.

Didn't realise it was such a small am out that needed to be amended. For the money can't expect to much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayjay Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Exactly.. for the sake of £20 once you included postage it was worth a punt. I'll take a picture of where I've dremeled so you can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airsoft_Mr B Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Depends on the weapon light if it will fit the holster properly. I bought this emerson one but haven't really used it yet. Another option could be this which is really similar, basically the same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Haynes Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Aftet looking at the price and having play with a mates pistol torch ive given up on the idea. Of them They were like 60 quid and in my luck it'll be shot out 1st game. And I couldn't get on with the pressure switch thing. So I've just been able to mount a quick detach torch to my rig. Which Is much cheaper and I've just spend the money and brought a kydex holster. And in the process of talking about possible buying of 2nd hand firehawk. ( if it falls thoughy ill get an ares stubby m4) Which means I won't use pistol as much in cqb then if I keep using my cm raider and tracer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks The genuine Safariland holsters will not fit WE replicas without some basic modification. WE guns are around a 1/4cm taller than real guns, making them not fit. If you use a heat gun you can reshape the top edge a bit and make them fit. Myself and several others have done this successfully before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherOopsie Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Fobus RBT17. Used the Nuprol G17 holster for a while and like yourself wanted one that could accommodate a pistol torch too. Most places you’ll get it for around £20-£25. At first I was very apprehensive about it, being a button release, but not once in the 6 months I’ve used it every weekend has it came undone by accident. Would recommend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made this and I think I’ve used it twice and probably only drawn my sidearm once haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
