I've been looking at this holster, and wondering if anyone here has experience with it? The appeal being the retention point is the flashlight which allows you to swap out pistols without having to buy a new holster etc. Missed a good deal on Black Friday taking over $30 off! šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø

Wouldnā€™t that limit your carries to just the geometry of a handful of guns though?

Idk, I donā€™t have a large array of pistols, so maybe if you want to jump around with it that may be up your alley

Since the primary retention of the holster is on the light, it actually has a large list of compatible pistols they've tested with. The main pistols I'd be interested in owning besides my Glock 45 MOS.
 
Not an AIWB holster, but I have a Blackhawk omnivore holster where the retention is also on the light. it has a separate changeable insert to adjust for the slide height of the gun, its pretty solid.

I just realized there's a model for non light-bearing too...

I think this holster just came out a few months ago (Scott from MSP announced it a couple months ago at a class I took), so may not be a lot of reviews yet

Phlster also makes one too called the Floodlight: https://www.phlsterholsters.com/floodlight-2/

Na this has been out for a while.

I've been carrying mine atleast a year now and I love it. Mine is for the TLR1 and it's great for anything I've thrown in it, CZs, Glock 21, etc. Super versatile.
 
PHLster floodlight was same idea. Iā€™ve run it for the X300 and TLR1. Decent holster setup. Main problems are lack of sweat guard and variable trigger guard protection thatā€™s often inadequate. For a DA hammer pistol itā€™s probably still safe. On a short striker trigger not so much.
 
I have had the MSP Pro for TLR-1 since Aug 2022. As you would surmise, it is a great solution if you tend to rotate pistols but keep the same light. It is a bit bulky compared to my other holster styles fit specifically for a pistol or pistol/light combo. I reach for Tenicor or Superstition Holsters for my compacts/subcompacts. But the MSP Pro is for me ideal those rare times I choose to carry a full size pistol (eg G17, XDM 10mm) with light. So in short: Feels a bit bulky compared to other choices for compcts/subcompacts, but manageable and carries the full size pistols well. I hope this helps.

do you carry it with the extra mag attachment? or would that save any bulk?
 
I carry without the extra mag (ā€œsidecarā€ I suppose). It saves bulk IMHO. I find the holster to be a bit thicker profile anterior-posterior nonetheless comfortable and conceals a full size pistol with light and optic well on my 5ā€™9ā€ 190 lb frame. Of course, the smaller holsters I compare it to are fitted for smaller weapons, with either no light or the smaller TLR-7/a

I had the same thought about bulk but found the sidecar to actually work better. I tried my 365xl in a JM Custom AIWB and found it to be more of a PITA than just carrying my G19.5 in a T1 Axis Elite. With the JM, now there is just a massive gap on my weak side where the sidecar could sit. Wish I just went with another T1.

This is great info, thanks for sharing! I was looking at the same holster (I also have the TLR-1HL), and was wondering if it felt as bulky as it looks. Something I'm sure I could get used to. I have holsters I can use for any Glocks I would choose to carry (45, 19, 17) with a TLR1 or TLR7A. Just thought about if I made the switch to a different platform as I'm sort of the Goldie Locks phase at the moment :pšŸ˜¬
 
Sorry for the delay in posting this. Was traveling. This may help give you an idea of the size of the MSP Pro compared to other light bearing holsters. It is big. This MSP Pro (blue) is for the TLR-1. The dark holster is for my Sig p365 Macro with TLR-7 (made by Superstition Concealment) IMG_8502.jpegIMG_8503.jpegIMG_8504.jpegIMG_8505.jpegIMG_8506.jpeg

Measured from the top of the belt clips the MSP Pro sits deep, but above the belt the holster is similar height to the smaller one for my Macro
