Nextorch V5 Tactical Flashlight Holster with Lever Side Lock System Only for 1"-1.25" Diameter Flashlight （Holster Head Diameter 0.78"-1.18" Bottom Diameter 1.18")

I bought this because I wasn't entirely satisfied with this holster, also sold by this vendor - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NQ9G146 The beef I have with the holster this one replaces is that the rubber o-rings that act upon the collet system to secure the flashlight have a problem with coming out of their channels when brushed against lightly, especially when worn on my belt while driving, and interfering with and otherwise causing problems. The collet type holster required me frequently having to take it off of my belt to reposition the o-rings in their channels, causing so much frustration that I decided to switch to the one in this review. I've been carrying my Surefire Fury Intellibeam in this new holster for just over a month of heavy use, and I'm happy to say that I'm very pleased with it. I was at first unsure whether this holster would fit the somewhat larger dimensions of the Fury Intellibeam (1"/25.4mm barrel, and 1.375"/35mm reflector), but it turns out to fit perfectly once the clamp adjustment screw is opened up all the way before carrying this flashlight. Once that was done, I've had no problem at all easily carrying my flashlight at work, often unholstering/reholstering the flashlight several times each night at work. I really like the clamping mechanism, which allows a smooth and easy release for the flashlight and an equally easy reholster. It's also very important to explain that the clamping mechanism is adjustable via a small knurled screw that either opens up or closes the clamping jaws to accommodate flashlights of various sizes, so the first time user would be well advised to set that screw first to fit his specific flashlight before wearing it each day. I should also say that I had to open the clamping jaws all the way to fit my flashlight, so I can honestly say that it would be impossible to fit anything with a barrel larger than the 1" that my Fury Intellibeam has. I also really like the belt clip, which is really good at keeping the holster from sliding around much, plus it allows the holster to be rotated a full 360 degrees, 45 degrees at a time, so that will make it possible to do everything from carrying the flashlight in the normal vertical orientation with the reflector pointing down, to horizontal with the reflector pointing either forward or backward, to carrying vertically with the reflector point straight up, or at various angles in between. Really, the only weak point (largely hypothetical) would be if the clamping mechanism were to get caught on something, especially if the user were crawling, such as moving through a crawlspace or other confined space, but I have yet to have that problem, but I haven't yet worn it while crawling. This is now my everyday carry holster for my Surefire, and I highly recommend it to anyone wondering about it.

Love it, man. It holds my flashlight flawlessly. It completes my tactical gear nicely. A must have if you're a militant minded guy like myself.

I like how well it holds not only my flashlight, but how it holds on to my belt without moving around freely. My flashlight doesn't seat completely in the bottom, but it still holds in very solidly and comfortably.

Fits and secures mutliple size flashlights. Recommend

This is way better than my previous carrier. The clamp release works great, and it's adjustable to fit most flashlights. I also like the rotation feature which allows for hands-free use of my light. My only issue is that the light rides a little high on my hip and occasionally pokes me in my side.

I suppose it shouldn’t need to be a super heavy duty plastic just to hold a flashlight but I work at night and use it constantly. The adjustable clip and the screw use to adjust it used to adjust. It are so thin and cheap. It feels like I’m gonna break it with my hands.

**UPDATE** 1 year later and this holster is still working perfectly. I am now using it with a Streamlight Protac HLX and it's held up well and no issues. I still don't hesitate to recommend it. I barely received this item and began using it, so I will update if anything changes. As of right now this is a great flashlight holster. I'm using it with a Surefire P2X Fury and they fit like they were made for each other. It only took a few moments of practice with it to have the draw and reholster down, and the light locks in securely. The holster fits well on a 2.25" duty belt & doesn't take up much space on the belt. It can't be used with lights that have the same size bezel as the body, for example, 1" *tube* lights such as the Klarus XT2C, Fenix PD35, etc. without some kind of modification to keep the light from falling through the opening in the bottom. This isn't an issue for me as my chosen light has a large bezel. I had been eyeing the Britestrike flashlight holster for a while and it has great reviews, but I liked the rotating cam lock on this model a little better and thought I would give it a try and so far I do not regret it. I would recommend this holster to anyone who needs a good holster that securely locks their light in place such as duty use, search and rescue, ems, etc. or just for the every day civilian carry.

Keeps my flashlights safe
