Will this holster still retain without a tactical light? I don't yet have a light on mine, but I'd prefer to only buy a duty holster once.

Absolutely, you can use it with or without the light, this has to be the best holster I have ever purchased. I also love the way it wears, very comfortable and that is either on my hip or on my thigh rig.

Yes I think it would be a good investment if you buy one. I didn't have a light at first, and it kept my firearm in place. So go head a buy it brother u won't be sorry. Lol I love black hawk products.

Yes I believe so, the retention clip clips onto the trigger guard I believe and it doesn't matter if you have a light attached or not. Just keep in mind that with this holster the only light that is compatible is the blackhawk light..

Yes. The retention clip on this holster holds the bezel, the shape of the flashlight shaft is irrelevant. I would suggest getting a different holster however, since the retention clip is plastic and does not work very well.

Got mine around October 2013 and it did indeed come with a very nice holster. Nylon holster with velcro on the flap, belt hook on the back, and a plastic D-ring with a large caribiner clip for attaching to things. I'd be a bit upset if I ordered another and received without the holster. It is a very high quality holster and is needed since it is such a "fat" flashlight and doesn't easily fit in pants pockets, unless you are trying to impress.... LOL

Mine came with a Nylon Flashlight holster. The Holster has a Belt Loop, and a compartment on the side to hold a spare pair of batteries. It really holds the flashlight in snug.

I would think perfectly. I have had a couple lights in this holster including one that is 4.5 long and 1.25 at the front and under an inch at the tail. This fits great. The holster front is 3.8 inches long, so the top and bottom hang out a little. What I think is a good feature...the unit (specifically the elastic) starts out tights so it will hold a thinner light. Should you have a thicker light, it should loosen a little with time. Hope that helps.

Yep. I like it. I have a light on my M&P; so I had to do some modifications but overall it's a decent holster

No it will not in this version, save your money this is a questionable design. It works fine when belt mounted (no lights attached). If you have it holstered, sitting on the shelf as most folks do when not carrying it, it will not release the weapon! Instead in that case you don't have a usuable pistol, you have a club! Keep looking at other designs/manufacturers for your holster needs.

It's very unlikely, unless the holster is built for a pistol with light attached. 99.999% of holsters that are made to fit a pistol with a light, will not fit that same pistol with the light removed. so quick answer it won't fit and a custom holster will likely need to be purchased.

I use this holster with either a Glock 17 or a Colt 70's series 1911. Will it fix your XD and laser? I really don't know. Contact the seller as they may have more information. Having said that the bottom part of the holster is closed with Velcro. It does come apart and expands I believe for those who have lasers or tactical lights on their weapons. I could be wrong so again please check with the seller.

I bet it will be hard to find a paddle holster that has light/laser capabilities. You can find universal holsters for lights or lasers just not in a paddle holster.. But hope you find one! If you do, let me know

Yes just not a SERPA BLACKHAWK holster. most universal holsters that are made to fit with a light would work.

I don't know,I always wear it with the light. Be patient it takes a while to break the holster in. It is very tight. I started by putting the unloaded pistol a couple of plastic sandwich baggies let it sit over night then added a couple of more and related that prices several times up to six baggies. Now the gun is snug but not so tight it pulls my pants up when I try to draw the gun. Enjoy

The holster fits the basic pistol like a glove, but will not fit if you have a tactical light attached to the weapon.

I have not had any issues with that. I read that from some of the other reviews but I've not experienced any issue what so ever. It's a great holster, you won't be disappointed. I have a Crossbreed IWB for my XD .40's and it's nice but I like the SHTF one better. It has a bit less extra leather above the waist and makes it easier to maneuver.

The one I bought is for left carry. I know they make a right handed one too. I have no idea about "duty carry" because I am not a cop. This is by far hte best designed comfortable holster I have ever owned.

The clip on mine broke in days. I know that this is off topic but it is a grate light for price, kicked my old sure fire's butt. just the clip is it's weak point so a holster is worth buying and I hope someone can answer your question because I've stopped carrying this lightProduct Dimensions 6.5 x 3.8 x 1 inches I believe this is correct Maybe 6.5 is it fully extended for the focus.

You can utilize a Bianchi Light Holder for duty belt carry. They have nylon and leather versions available. Size 1 is a perfect fit. It just needs breaking-in. Bianchi Accumold 7326 Black Compact Light Holder Open Top (Size 1)
