I challenged T.J. with a holster for the Springfield XD45 AND the Olight Valkyrie Pl-Pro light setup AND uses Molle for my PlateCarrier. These holsters are hard to find, if at all, because the Olight has a history of turning on or being left on and damaging the holster because of the heat. T.J. accepted the challenge and knocked it out of the park. I LOVE IT. I did a review on TT and Youtube and will have more coming out soon.
