Holster recommendation

[Cabadam]

I decided I wanted something a little bigger than my Shield 9 for home defense, so my Shield recently got a new companion, a M&P 40 FS.

I'm looking for a holster for the new M&P 40. I also have a Streamlight TLR-4 on it. This holster would not be for concealment, so I am guessing OWB.

Any recommendations on holsters? I've looked around a lot at IWB, but this is the first time I've ever considered an OWB and I'm not sure what kind of factors might be important that I wouldn't otherwise think of.

Thanks

Here is my Wright Leather Works OWB. This is the Predator in maple finish. This is one comfortable holster that is quality made in the USA. For OWB I recommend a quality gun belt. Mine is from Wright and is 1/4" x 1.2" solid one piece bull hide. Also works great.

Unfortunately, I don't think any of the ones listed so far would be compatible with the light? At least, based on their website they don't mention a model for it.

You might call Brandon Wright and ask him about the light. here is what is listed on their site: "Also, don't be afraid to contact us and ask if we can get your model if you don't see it listed, there is a good chance that we can!"

Do you have a Flickr account? You can put your photos there and easily pick up a link that will work here. Flickr is free, if you are interested I can walk you through it.

Thanks for the suggestions - I did contact Brandon and unfortunately no Streamlight options.

I've also contacted Bladetech, which lists on their website the TLR-1/2/3, but not -4. Haven't heard back yet.

The only option I even know to exist is the Raven Concealment Phantom, although they want a pretty penny for it (and for some reason the TLR-4 option is almost $10 more than the TLR-1/2/3 options).

How is that Holster? I want an IWB and I am going to go with wright leather works.

So far, Raven Concealment is the only option, and at nearly $110 for the TLR-4 option, that is out of the range I want to spend.

Paul at PJholsters does not make one, although offered to custom make it for a little extra $ and I would need to send him my Streamlight for a while.

Everyone else I've contacted (all the brands suggested in this thread so far) all responded that they could (would?) not currently make a holster for this combination.

I didn't really expect it to be this rare of a request. I'm getting the impression I should reconsider keeping the light on it while in the holster...
