The PHLster Floodlight OWB is a streamlined, minimalist outside-the-waistband holster designed for range use and competition. It indexes on the weapon light — not the gun itself — allowing it to accommodate most duty-sized pistols as long as they are fitted with a Surefire X300U/X300T, Streamlight TLR-1, or Modlite PL350. The Floodlight OWB is fully ambidextrous and comes with a Blade Tech Tek-Lok pre-installed, with compatibility across a wide range of belt, paddle, MOLLE, and drop-leg mounting systems.
Multiple Mounting Options: Comes with Blade Tech Tek-Lok. Also works with other Blade Tech, G-Code, and Safariland attachments, allowing for flexible carry options including traditional belts, paddle rigs, MOLLE mounts, thigh rigs, or even low hip mounts on battle belts.
Broad Compatibility: Easily customize the holster to fit a variety of pistol sizes and configurations, including those with suppressor height sights, optics, compensators, and threaded barrels. DOES NOT FIT STEYR PISTOLS.
Precise Adjustments: Fine-tune your holster’s fit and retention with one of three included hardware kits.
Fully Ambidextrous: Swap the hardware to the opposite side for left-handed carry.
Available Colors: OD Green, Black, Tan, Wolf Gray.
What’s Included:
- PHLster Floodlight OWB holster
- Blade Tech Tek-Lok (pre-installed)

Adjustment & Setup
The Floodlight OWB ships with a Blade Tech Tek-Lok pre-installed and three hardware kits for pistol fit adjustment.
Pistol Width Adjustment
The Floodlight OWB includes three hardware kits with different spacer sizes. These allow you to adjust the slide clamping width to properly fit your specific pistol. Use the kit that provides a secure, rattle-free fit with your gun and light combination.
Retention
Retention is set by selecting the correct hardware kit for your pistol width and adjusting the screw tension. The holster indexes on the weapon light, so retention is a combination of light body clamping and slide contact pressure.
Tek-Lok Adjustment
The included Blade Tech Tek-Lok is size-adjustable to fit different belt widths. Refer to Blade Tech’s instructions for Tek-Lok belt width adjustment.
Switching Hand Dominance
The Floodlight OWB is fully ambidextrous. Swap the Tek-Lok and hardware to the opposite side for left-handed carry.
Alternative Mounting
The Floodlight OWB accepts Blade Tech, G-Code, and Safariland attachments, as well as most competition belt hangers. Remove the Tek-Lok and install your preferred attachment using the existing mounting holes.

What guns does the Floodlight OWB fit?
The Floodlight OWB fits most duty-sized or larger pistols that can mount a Surefire X300U/X300T, Streamlight TLR-1, or Modlite PL350. The holster indexes on the weapon light, not the gun, so it accommodates a wide range of pistols including Glock, S&W M&P, HK, FN, CZ, Sig, Walther, Beretta, 1911/2011, and more. See the Compatibility tab for the full list. Steyr pistols are not compatible.
What weapon lights are supported?
Modlite PL350; Streamlight TLR-1, TLR-1S, and TLR-1 HL; and Surefire X300U and X300T (A and B variants). The Streamlight TLR1 HL-X and TLR1 HPX are NOT supported due to body changes in the weapon light. No other light models are compatible.

If you need an OWB holster for the range, competition, or duty use, you want the Floodlight OWB.
Can I use a Safariland, G-Code, or competition mount with the Floodlight OWB?

Yes. The mounting pattern accepts MOLLE adapters, thigh rigs, and drop-leg platforms in addition to traditional belt attachments.

Yes. The Floodlight OWB accommodates slide-mounted optics, suppressor height sights, threaded barrels, and compensators.
Is the Floodlight OWB ambidextrous?
Yes. Swap the Tek-Lok and hardware to the opposite side for left-handed carry.
