Just to resurect the dead....

I just recently purchased a Safariland 6004 SLS thigh rig for my Glock 17. I've a TM P226 in a huang replica of a BH Serpa and I like it, I was going to purchase a serpa for my glock so I could look uber cool at the range.

I then decided I wanted a weapon light for my glock and decided on the Streamlight TLR-1. Well, you can purchase a Serpa that accomodates a tactical weapons light, but the ONLY light that fits is the Blackhawk Xiphos weapons light. I was sold on the Streamlights TLR-1's price as well as the 135 lumens....compaired to the Xiphos's 90 lumens and higher price. Granted the Xiphos has a strobe feature....but that's another matter.

Anyways, given the option of a Serpa and a Xiphos NT weapons light or a Safariland 6004 SLS with a Streamlight TLR-1 I went with the Safariland.

I was looking only for a thigh rig, that said I may yet purchase a serpa for my plate carrier as Blackhawk did it right with their system for mounting the serpa....pretty much anywhere. The adapter idea is stellar. SO I may end up with both in the end, one holster for when I have a light attached and one when I don't.

I'm also not sure how well I'll like the single waist retention strap of the safariland compaired to the "Y" yoke of the Serpa thigh rig.

I'm currently waiting delivery ( next few days ), I'm hoping that I'm happy with my choice...if not....well.....there will be a for sale ad up....
