class="auto-style1"><strong>Overview</strong></p><p
class="auto-style1">It's unusual these days to find a nice hard
holster for a good price. When I saw this at LightsCastle I
expressed interest to my contact there and she was gracious
enough to include it and another along with other items for me
to review. The Model 312 is perfect for single AA lights and
even some very small 18650 flashlights. As uncommon as it is to
find a hard bodied holster, finding one for single AA lights is
even more unusual. This is a perfect fit for such lights as the
Zebralight SC60 (18650) and the Xeno E03 (AA/14500).</p><p
class="auto-style1"><strong>Construction</strong></p><p
class="auto-style1">The holster has a hard, shaped body and is a
pleasure to use compared to the usual soft holsters that do not
hold their shape when empty. it's easy to put in and remove the
light from these Ultrafire hard holsters. </p><p
class="auto-style1">The stitching is very good and all edges are
wrapped. The snap closure is very sturdy and well fastened to
the covering flap. Internally it is lined with a smooth, thick
nylon. There is an extra layer of thick nylon to cover the
backside of the snap closure to keep your light from getting
scratched.</p><p class="auto-style1">The belt loop is
constructed so that you can attach one of three ways. First is
the usual method, pass your belt through the sewn loop when you
put your belt on and remove the holster by removing your belt.
The second is to use the second loop that is attached by a
strong snap the same as used on the front of the holster. This
method is technically not as secure as the first but it allows
you to attach/remove the holster without undoing your belt. The
third method is by clipping the holster to your pack or beltloop
using the sewn in D-ring at the top rear of the holster.</p><p

you can see below, the Xeno E03 is a great fit for this
light.</p><p class="auto-style1"><img

flap fits around the light perfectly</p><p

n
the 18650 Zebralight SC60 fits perfectly. Installed head first
with the clip exposed, the flap still closes snugly over the
tailcap of the SC60.</p><p class="auto-style1"><img

/>alt="" width="800" height="600"></p><p class="auto-style1">It
also accomodates the SC60 tailfirst, clip and all. It is easier
to insert and remove the SC60 if you insert it head first
though.</p><p class="auto-style1"><img

class="auto-style1">Closes nicely and snaps securely shut.</p><p

class="auto-style1"><strong>Final thoughts</strong></p><p
class="auto-style1">I can highly recommend this holster! The
price is great as is it's quality. Nice hard shell holsters are
uncommon, especially at this great price point. For under $3
it's a no brainer!</p><p class="auto-style1">~ Johnny</p>[/html]
