Holsters and WML
Hi
I'm referring specifically to IWB or AIWB in Kydex. Do you guys/gals find that one can have one holster made that can take a WML, but use the holster daytime without WML fitted? I need to understand the complexities as I want to migrate to a single style/type holster. It seems from feedback that AIWB will not be comfortable with WML in an office environment.
At the moment I need to transition to a different holster at night. The draw is completely different to my EDC, I'm concerned it will end up in a snafu in a high stress situation.

Re: Holsters and WML
Why not just leave the light on permanently, the light adds a little width, I dont find it any more or less uncomfortable? Then again I don't sit much at all

Re: Holsters and WML
Most times the retention is based on the light instead of on the trigger guard, so you'd probably struggle to find a holster that can be used properly with and without a WML.
What is the problem with the draw ? Should be a similar draw if they're both in kydex holsters, with the same clips/loops, same belt and same carry position ?

Re: Holsters and WML
On a more serious note, if the holster is designed for a wml and you remove the wml the holster will still be the same size and the same "difficulty" to wear

Re: Holsters and WML
I have a holster made by Geoff Carter for my G19 + Inforce APL.
It works perfectly fine without the light attachedA roaring Lion kills no game

Re: Holsters and WML
I’m lost. Why would you want to use the same holster without the WML? If the holster takes a WML it seems logical to leave it attached

Re: Holsters and WML
To clarify. Upgrading is expensive. I’m looking at switching to AIWB while doing the upgrade.
Sitting all day at a desk and needing 100% concealment I need to know would AIWB work or should I stay with 3 o’clock with the WML. I have a feeling that the WML bulk may be too much for daytime use. G19 & Olight Pl ii So that means 2 holsters.
I’m using a Fobus OWB with the light but the draw on it is crap.
