I'm not quite sure where exactly this post belongs, but it's here.

I just ordered new Boston Leather Radio Straps for my Department with the radio holders.
In several attempts to find accessories, I am still empty handed. I ordered the trauma shear attachment for the strap and am now looking for a flashlight holder that will attach nicely to the strap.

I am also searching for a bright and rugged tactical flashlight that isn't too expensive.

The Fire Store has a special on Pelican 7000 Flashlight that is 600+ Lumen.
Thoughts/Concerns with this particular lights and any similar lights with the "Best Bang for the Buck?"

Here's what I've found so far:

http://www.thefirestore.com/store/p...for-Radio-Strap-and-Suspenders-Vertical-Mount

This is probably the best looking holder that I have found, but I am not 100% if it will fit with the Pelican 7000 and there is a 3 Week lead time.

This is the second best option that I have found, but I'm not crazy about the mounting method.

This is the last and least liked option that I was able to find.

If anyone has any recommendations for other brands of radio holders that fit on the radio strap, or if you know of someone who can make a custom Kydex mount, that would be great!

I have a stream light with the rubber "handle" 3 position push button on the tail that I carry for work. Plenty bright and has dim and strobe options.
I use the first leather holder you have listed from the fire store. Works beautifully. Have received several compliments on it and subsequently have seen others with the same/similar set ups.
