I am currently in Afghanistan, and one of my buddies carries a MK23 with Insight LAM-1000 attached. (Yes NSW adopted the MK24/HK45CT but they have yet to be issued.) They used to issue the Safariland 6004 holster but the only downfall was the Insight could not be mounted. The holster he currently uses is the nylon Blackhawk that were made available to address this, but it's been through two deployments (including work-ups) and the inside where the sharply angled back front sight makes contact, has started to deteriorate and actually "grab" the gun. At the range yesterday, this became very evident during transition drills when his pistol would not clear unless you push/pulled repeatedly.
I was thinking a kydex holster (better yet, a kydex insert in a nylon rig) would be the way to go, but haven't found a current manufacturer that has one for a MK23 let alone with a LAM attached. Does anybody know who might make a Level II kydex holster for it and the LAM, or have a better idea?
Thanks.
