Looking for a holster recommendation

Good afternoon, SF. Anyone got a P226 with a Streamlight TLR-7X mounted, and got a good holster for it?

I'm thinking more in terms of "good storage for house gun" than for daily carry, if that matters at all. Who's got recommendations?

Thanks, all.

I didn't think about it that way, but that case is about perfect. Thank you!

Here are some almost as nice as the 511 for $10.00

I bought a few to take pistols to the range and they have held up well.

Ten bucks?! Can’t fuss about that at all. I’ll grab a couple of those to have on hand. Thank you.

Although I have two 5.11 the factory seconds will be a good actual idpa range carry bag. We have to go to safe area to handle pistols.

Just keep in mind that you don't want to store handguns in zipped/enclosed fabric cases long-term. They can trap moisture and contribute to corrosion.

A very good point. Thank you for that reminder.

Red Hill Tactical. They have lots of options, including different Streamlights. They also allow for a wide variety of attachment mechanisms. Granted, not cheap, but they are not cheap-ass holsters, either. I have a 3-gun version on the way for my P226.

Fabric traps moisture?

Borestores makes silicone cloth “flap holsters” that are good for protection in a safe or pistol rack.

Not sure they’d be ideal for the OP’s use case though…

The golden rule is never store a gun in a case long term. Cases are for transport only. Many a rifle/ shotgun has been destroyed by rust stored in a case,and lot of pistols get rusty sitting in holsters.
