DEADLY CUSTOMS GLOCK OLIGHT SIGNATURE SERIES KYDEX HOLSTER!

Hi friends! 

Welcome back to another blog post! Today I have a review of my newest holster from Deadly Customs - the M81 Cordura wrapped Glock Olight Signature Series Kydex Holster. 

The Glock Olight Signature Series Kydex Holster is made from genuine 2mm thick Kydex and works with both Olight torches and Olight clones and has 3 adjustable retention points to tailor the fit to your liking. It is RMR cut, meaning you can run an RMR sight on the holstered pistol. It uses your attached torch for retention so if you run the same torch on different pistols as I do, this holster is something to bear in mind. The staff at DC have tested the DC-4 with over 150 different pistols and to date, only 4 do not fit and these are the full-sized Desert Eagle, the ASG USW, the MK23 and the Hudson. It will fit the bigger frame handguns such as the FNX pistols and weapons with wide trigger guards, like the AAP and pistols with taller slides like the 1911. The Glock Signature Series holster does come in other torch variants if you don’t have an Olight such as Surefire X300 (and its clones) and the TLR (and its clones). 

I have mine mounted on a Safariland QLS (Quick Locking System) on a mid-ride so it’s just below my hip and I have a leg strap so it doesn’t go flapping about. DC do other options such as malice clips and combat loops but I think the QLS system works best for me, personally. 

The construction of the holster is sound and the finish on all the edges is smooth. It is easily adjustable thanks to the 3 adjustable retention points - I just inserted my pistol and then adjusted the screws with a screwdriver. On inserting the pistol there is a positive ‘click’ which is what I look for in a good Kydex holster. It hasn’t scratched my pistols when removing and reholstering. 

Although there’s not THAT much to say about Kydex holsters, the main selling point of the Glock Olight Signature DC-4 is its versatility. Buying a bunch of holsters for all your different pistols gets expensive, I like that I can just swap my Olight to a different pistol and just use it straight away. I’ve used this holster with my TM HK45, the RWA X Agency Arms EXA, TM G17 with an aftermarket Agency Arms slide, my custom Nighthawk 1911 and also my M&P Shield. Having just one holster means my kit is also more streamlined. 

Deadly is offering a new service too - Cordura wrapping on new holsters which can be selected from the website and added to your order. The Kydex is wrapped with a layer of Cordura which changes both the colour (camo) and the texture of the holster. It is purely an aesthetic change but one that looks fucking great. 

The holsters start at £49.99 for the Glock Olight Signature Kydex Holster for just the holster but for the full package like my set-up, it would set you back £105.96 (there is free shipping over £50 and you get a free patch and sticker). You can use my code ‘femmefatale’ for 10% off your entire order. Whilst the full package is an investment, it can be used for loads of different pistols so you won’t have to replace it when you get a new sidearm. 

It is worth noting that because of how a light-bearing holster works, you can’t use the holster without the torch as it won’t retain. Deadly Customs makes other holsters for this option, such as the DC-1, DC-2 and the DC-3. The DC-4 Series holsters are all able to attach to mounting platforms that use a 3-screw system including Safariland (which is what I am using), Blackhawk, FMA, G-Code, G-Code RTI and Blade-Tech.
