Back when the TM Prolight was introduced, I remember seeing a review that said it was a replica of a Streamlight M3. Based on that information, and my plan to get a Prolight one day, I bought a Safariland 6004 for a Glock 17 + M3. Well, I finally got the Prolight recently, and it doesn't fit the holster. Doh!
I don't want to make the same mistake twice. Does anyone know which Safariland 6004 model, if any, will fit a Glock 18 + Prolight?

What are the dimensions of the light?
If it's patterned off the M3x light, the M3x is slightly larger and requires a different holster.

Is it a close call or no fit at all Zorak? I know of many people who have used a heat gun or hairdryer to mold their 6004 to fit the right light.

It looks like there's a bit of a ventral "hump" in the Prolight that isn't there in the M3. It's not a question of needing excessive force, or being able to squeeze it in if the 6004 was a little softer. It's just plain shaped differently.
Motown, thanks, that's a good tip. The Prolight is 1.7" high and 1.6" wide, including the mount. The M3X is bigger, but that probably means a holster for the M3X would work. I don't suppose you know anyone with a Glock 17 + M3X holster who could confirm?

Doing a quick look on the interweb, the dimensions for the M3X are: 3.6" L x 1.6" W x 1.6" H
The M3: 3.4" L x 1.57" W x 1.52" H.
Checking the safariland website they have a listing of the different models and weapon/light combinations, it would appear as though you need the 6004-8312-121.

My main concern with going purely by dimensions is that they don't capture the shape. If the M3X/M6X is deeper but narrower below the bezel, I'll still be screwed.  |

Zorak, if you order another one you may want to check out this, hkpro.com/forum/showthread.php?t=51046. That guy has done hundreds of orders and seems legit. You're looking at between 60-70 for a 6004 (Page 3.) May be more for a light one, but I didn't look through all the posts to see if there was a different price for the 6004. |
