Well, after a ton of looking and a good bit of thinking, I think I'm going to ditch the tlr-1 idea, at least for EDC. Now I might consider stuffing it in a pocket or spare ammo pouch slot (assuming it's quick attach/detach), but I don't think it's worth the money to do what I'm thinking.

$100(at the cheapest) for the TLR-1
I haven't gotten any figures from other holster manufacturers, but I'll ballpark it at around $300 for something custom, so before shipping I've spent $400 just for that.

"How much is your life worth to you?" Only goes so far. Considering how little of the time I'm actually in the dark, how limited a weapon light's use is, and the overall likelihood of something happening in the first place..... Yeah, for that kind of money, it doesn't seem at all worth it to me. That $400 I think would be better spent on ~2,000 rounds of ammo to practice with.

That being said, I still have to decide shoulder vs hip holster, now that I actually have both options to choose from.

For now though, with a bit of rummaging, I found a holster that fits the Beretta very well, despite it not being fitted for the 92A1; a crossfire elite.

It's actually remarkably difficult to find a holster for a Beretta pistol in general if you have any 92 other than the good ol' 92FS. 90-two, m9a1, 92a1, etc, and some places have the same option listed twice. From what I read, a 90-two and a 92a1 will share holsters, but a m9a1 will use a holster unique to it, due to the dimensions of the slide; apparently.

So, as much as I love fitted holsters, I think a snuggly fitting nylon holster will be what I go with in either configuration. If I do spring for fitted, it's getting test-fitted before I lay down the cash.

Welp, all I need now is the g-kit, a set of tritium sights, and a wilson combat short reach trigger.
