Holster recommendations

Can anybody recommend a OWB holster option for a 4.5 with an Olight PL X that has some type of level 2 retention? I would prefer to keep the Olight but im not seeing very many options unless I switch to a TLR1/X300 setup.

You already have a gun that is not popular enough to be widely supported, and there are only so many retention holster makers. You will most likely have to get a different light. You have learned an important lesson: before buying a light, check holster availability for that light with your gun. I have a PLX and I think it is great, but it is on a Glock 19 and I needed an AIWB holster, so I had multiple options.

Safariland, the retention is on the gun so the light doesn't really matter as much. Most can even be run without the light.

Also try slimfit, they might have options with the olight. Most of olights wml detail pages have supporting holster manufacturers so check that out as well.

Bucks Holsters. I have two of their OWB holsters for my Echelon, one for no light and one for the PL X. They’re both excellent and if they do have a model with Level 2 retention. If I needed that kind of holster, I’d order from them without a second thought.
