    I carried a AA Mini Maglite on my belt for about 20 years, and this is the Bianchi Accumold holster that I carried it in:

    This was an excellent holster, but when LED came along, it changed everything. The Mini Maglite that this held had 3 lumens of light. When I stopped using this, I started carrying an LED penlight that produced 24 lumens. Now that same light produces 75 lumens.

    If there is an LED flashlight that fits nicely into this holster, I’m not aware of it. (‘Nicely’ means less than a 1/4″ to spare at the bottom or the top, and the barrel and bezel fit snugly with the snap closed.)

    There are way too many LED lights on the market for Bianchi to address in their product line. They need to pick one or two of the best police/tactical flashlights and make holsters for those only. They would likely pick Surefire, and maybe Streamlight. I have one holster that was designed for the Scorpion. That was always a pet peeve for me, because they said it was also designed for the 6P. When I put the 6P in it, there was 1/2″ of empty space at the bottom. They refused to make a holster for the 6P, so they made it for the Scorpion only.

    I posted this review to Bianchi’s product page:

    Some flashlight companies make their own holsters, so maybe that’s good enough. But nobody can make a holster as well as Bianchi.
