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. An odd size, I found myself scratching my head to
find a light that it fit well. A rather wide opening and short
depth, it fit many lights lengthwise but they were rather loose
in width. Any lights that filled the width were rather long. I
finally realized that I did have a light that fit this very well
and it proved correct - my Solarforce L2M.</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

/>alt="" width="600" height="800"></p><p class="auto-style1">The
L2m fits the model 314 holster very well. The standard p60 head
width fills the inside diameter of the holster perfectly and
it's length allow you to close the flap perfectly.</p><p

</p><p class="auto-style1"><strong>Final thoughts</strong></p><p
class="auto-style1">I can highly recommend this holster if you
have the right light to fill it. The price is great as is it's
quality. Nice hard shell holsters are uncommon, especially at
this great price point.</p><p class="auto-style1">~
