Anyone know of a flashlight holster that fits the Xtar D26? I'll be picking up a DSS BP/W and with the lack of pockets I'm thinking of keeping the backup in a holster on my harness.
 
Why not take a bolt snap and some cave line + bicycle tube or shock cord

That's what I'm doing for the main light, but I'm running out of D rings/spots to snap it and thought a holster would be convenient.
 
I put one on each shoulder D-ring. It's okay to have more than one thing clipped to a D-ring.

But, with a BP/W, you could always add another D-ring lower down on one side, just for your other light.

I like the idea of having one on each shoulder D-ring. I may add another D ring lower down and keep my shears there instead of on the shoulder D-ring. I'm about to order the BP/W from DSS, so just sort of playing around in my mind where I want everything to go. I'm sure it will change as I dive with the new gear.
 
My shears are on my left side waist belt. That's the "standard" place for them. Why not put yours there?

I have a small knife I was going to put there. I figured I'd put the shears a little higher up on me in case there is a situation where I can't reach the knife.

I have the shears on my left side and a DGX Sharp Cut (like a Trilobyte, but with ceramic blades) on my right side, behind the D-ring, so it can't fall off.

I've read where a lot of people put a Sharp Cut/Eezycut on their computer strap(s). Or you could put one of those or a small knife on the right shoulder strap, above the top D-ring, maybe with the handle pointed down/forward. A tri-slide or two could secure it in position.

Dunno. Just some thoughts
