BLF Q8 Carry Pouch.

Might just wanna get a generic rightsized pouch with a molle system hookup.

Eg, something like http://www.511tactical.com/h2o-carrier.html only not as obscenely priced.

I haven’t gotten that far but I did order a couple tripod screw eyelets so I could put a wrist strap on it.

The two popular ones won’t thread in all the way. It also doesn’t help that the hole isn’t threaded very far, but the hole is too shallow even if threaded with a bottoming tap. I’d like to find something like a tripod screw that’s shorter or was fully threaded so I could grind it down.

Can ya grind em down a bit? Ya know, shorten em up until they’ll seat?
Edit…you know some of the eyelets on Amazon are threaded all the way and some have a flat area between the threads and the head. I ordered the black nickel ones that appear to be threaded all the way to the head.

There aren’t many threads to start with. Please share a link to the fully threaded ones.

Correction: these don’t have enough threads

These do though. I need to order more.

Just look for a m4/m16 double magazine molle pouch. The Q8 fits nicely. I had several thanks to accumulation of a near-complete molle rig and on a whim tried it. Couldn’t imagine a better fit unless the sheath was made specifically for it.

edit: mine are a bit different and have velcro closures without snaps and elastic loops for shotgun shells but something like this should work.

Nice. $5.50 and $6 shipping. Might try that. Found this grenade pouch on Ebay I might give a shot first. Oh hell, I may just grab both. Thanks shirnask.

Use these on all my soda can lights. One now has about 10 holes burned into it from an Astrolux MF01, turned on by mistake a few seconds.

I use this camera lens case I picked up at a charity shop for the equivalent of $1.
There was enough space to put a layer of high density foam at the bottom and around the inside. You could throw it against a wall now and not damage the contents.

toddcshoe · 2018-03-15T00:33:54.000Z

Tally-ho, looks like I got the same exact thing just from ebay instead. Works perfectly. Guy only had them in brown but it will work perfect for me. $7.50 with free shipping.

I ordered some from my last post. I think they’re the same as the ones you posted, but your link doesn’t work.

It still didn’t work due to the shallow threads, but I used a bottoming tap and now it fits appropriately.

Lightbringer · 2018-04-24T16:54:31.000Z

Got a set of these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BQKJBJ4/ to try.

3 for 7bux, can’t beat the price. Quite excellent quality, though. I just ordered another 3pak. Figure I got plenty of goodies that might need some kind of storage…

The Q8 fits, but barely. It drops right in, but you need to tug the opening up around the head to let the Q8 bottom-out. You also need to let out the strap on the top flap pretty much to its maximum to get it to close (snap shut).

So, I probably wouldn’t use it as a carry-holster for the Q8, but am definitely using it as a protective case. Just make sure to lock out the tailcap so the light doesn’t accidentally turn on and set something on fire.

I’m sticking with Ozark as the vendor. Fast fast fast shipping (non-prime), nice followup email, they seem to actually care, corny as it might sound.
