So I just got my new CT laser in today. Looks pretty cool, fits nice, and seems to have good accuracy right out of the box. I installed the laser, played with it for a minute, then reloaded my p3at, slid it back into uncle mike's pocket holster and into my pocket. I carried it around with me while I was out running errands, and when I got back home, decided to check it out some more. I happened to notice how easy it is to activate the laser....you just barely touch the switch and it's on. Cool. So then I re-holster it and notice that the little switch rests on the holster. I squeezed the pocket holster to see inside, and low and behold, the laser is on! I must have carried it around for almost 3 hours in my pocket, and I'm certian that it was on the whole time.... I'm gonna need new batteries way early now. So who else has run into this problem? I guess I could try to modify my holster so that the button doesn't get touched, but I'd hate to go cutting into uncle mike... I'd really hate to have to go buy a new holster also. Any creative ideas out there? Thanks.
Re: Problem: P3AT + CT Laser + UM's Pocket Hoslt I solved that problem by making my own, plenty of clearance for the laser button. Took about $5 worth of leather from Hobby Lobby. Clickety-Pop for BIGGER The whole piece of leather cost me $10, I made two holsters from it. The other one is an IWB for a P239 here. http://www.ktog.org/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1245025243
Re: Problem: P3AT + CT Laser + UM's Pocket Hoslt I have a CT on my P3AT with an UM's size 1 in the pocket holster. I carry it about 8-10 hrs a day, and have not had any problems.
Re: Problem: P3AT + CT Laser + UM's Pocket Hoslt You might try folding some non abrasive spacer material in the bottom (if the bottom is closed), that should keep the laser button away from the holster rim. I did modify my leather belt clip holster (trimmed the area where the button touched). works fine, change batteries every spring, just in case. Jim <><
Re: Problem: P3AT + CT Laser + UM's Pocket Hoslt DiamondJim: That was exactly the kind of creative idea I was looking for. Why didn't I think of that? I went ahead and ordered the desantis nemesis holster - but your solution will work until it arrives. Thanks
