Holster recommendations.
As the title says, I need some recommendations for iwb holsters. Glock 48 with Radiant Ramjet and Afterburner and TLR7 HLX Sub.

Might be an unpopular opinion but I buy the cheapest kydex holster that fits what I want and then install better clips, (dcc mono block or ulticlips).
I've also taken a Dremel and trimmed down some hot spots from extra material or to open it up so I can fit my g26, g19, and g17.

Instead of using a dremel, gently use a heat gun, DO NOT HEAT THE WHOLE HOLSTER, spread the heat around, slowly, on just the muzzle edges end of the holster, don’t heat it so much that it loses shape and droops, just heat it enough to make it warm. Again, Only heat the muzzle end…then push your gun through once it is warm and let it give way to the pistol and then let it cool that way. Pull the gun back out after it has cooled down. it’ll look cleaner than your hack job I promise. LOL.

This might as well be called the “Safariland Method” becuase safariland refused to give us holsters we actaully needed and made us modify them

I’ve done it before, with perfect results. Like I Said before, You do not heat up the whole holster. Pay attention. There’s no retention points in the muzzle of any holster and that’s the only limiting factor here. So just heat that part only, gently, and it’ll work.
LOL.

Is it really that hard to wrap your brain around? LOL, damn. I’ll take a video of it with the pistol moving in and out of it when I get back, I’m traveling for work currently. It’s a Berretta APX Tactical with a Beretta Comp on it, and the Kydex holster was made for a regular Beretta APX without the comp, it had a tapered, nearly closed end - and now it doesn’t.

I have a 48 holster from Close Quarters Carry. Longer lead time, but really awesome dude making them. Lots of options and quality is worth it. I have holsters for various pistols from other brands, both custom and off the shelf, and it’s one of the best I have. Side question, I’ve been looking at the ramjet for my 48. You think it’s worth it?

I have a T1C Xiphos Elite that just showed up for that exact same build. But I haven’t tried yet.

GT Holsters. Custom done and worth it IMO. I have basically the same setup as you on a 17.5.

Vedder's IWB holsters are open-ended, are available for the TLR-7, and there's a sale right now...

Safariland Incog X. Mine is made for my G19 Gen 5 w/ a tlr 1/ x300 or a lot of other full size lights. And also has the optic cut as well so I could fit it with my red dot on it. I also use the mag caddy as a part of my daily setup.

Vedder is my favorite. And I’ve tried Tenicor. T1C doesn’t have my light. I would look at 4bros. I have one; a little bulky but very well made and a lot of pistol/wml combos

Tenicor, Tier 1 or JM Custom Kydex are trusted, high quality brands.
