As long as gunlights are made wider than the trigger guard, the holster mouth has to be made to accommodate it.
A light on a working pistol is worth the trade off. Perhaps the more compact lights like the TLR-7 will remedy the situation; in the meantime the minor added risk is worth the reward.
We'll have to agree to disagree. A reputable holster maker doesn't permit its products to be distributed when unsafe to unsuspecting users. As evidence, they get sued, and Safariland has HEAPS of lawsuits (I have several lists from the 'net). Just because we know NOW what happens, never absolved them of doing their job THEN to either solve it (that is, prevent it), or not offer it. Ditto the gunmakers; society requires them to address safety issues before distribution. If a gun with a light is unsafe in a maker's holster, then they become complicit in the danger. That's not only how societies work, it's also morality.
