Holster for a P226 Mk25 with a TLR-1 HL?

I’m running into the same issue- only one I’ve been able to locate so far that seems solid is this

Thanks for sharing…I don’t see a Mk25 option on the drop down though.
 
The safari land ALS with red dot hood and x300 slot for p320 fits p226 so long as they’re the same size. I have one you’re welcome to try and an extra x300 you can mount up to demo it if you’re around LA
 

This one appears to fit what you are looking for.

It says for x300 in the description but if you go to Safariland website and select the options for lights to tlr1 hl the MPN number is the same.
 
The classic **Streamlight TLR-1** full-size rail-mounted weapon light (using two CR123A batteries side-by-side) shares the **same physical form factor** — including dimensions of approximately 3.39 inches in length, identical mounting system, and holster compatibility — with several direct variants in the TLR-1/TLR-2 family.

### Variants with the Same Form Factor
These models are essentially the same body/housing with minor feature or output differences:

- **TLR-1** (original/basic model, ~300 lumens, constant-on only; somewhat discontinued but still referenced)
- **TLR-1s** (adds strobe mode to the original TLR-1)
- **TLR-1 HL** (high-lumen version, currently 1,000 lumens / 20,000 candela; most popular modern version)
- **TLR-2** (TLR-1 body + red aiming laser)
- **TLR-2s** (TLR-2 with strobe)
- **TLR-2 HL** (TLR-2 body with 1,000-lumen upgrade)
- **TLR-2 HL G** (TLR-2 HL with green laser instead of red)
- **TLR-2 G** (other green-laser variants in the same housing)

All of these use the same core body design, so they are cross-compatible with the same holsters (any holster listed for “TLR-1” or “TLR-1 HL” will fit the entire group above, with the only minor difference being slightly more weight/thickness on laser models due to the laser housing on the bottom).

### Variants That Do *Not* Share the Same Form Factor
- **TLR-1 HL-X** (and any other “HL-X” or “-X” full-size models) → Newer redesigned body with TLR-7A-style rear switches, front-loading battery door, and optional rechargeable SL-B9 batteries — **not holster-compatible** with the classic TLR-1/HL.
- **TLR-7 / TLR-7A / TLR-7 HL-X / TLR-8 series** → Much more compact/subcompact body (single battery in-line, not side-by-side).
- **TLR-9 / TLR-10** → Longer, slimmer body (batteries stacked end-to-end like a SureFire X300).
- **TLR-1 HPL / TLR-1 HP / long-gun-specific versions** → Different head/reflector for longer throw; longer overall body.
- **TLR-3 / TLR-4 / TLR-6** → Compact or ultra-compact bodies.

In short, if a holster or mount is made for the **TLR-1 HL**, it will also fit the classic **TLR-1**, **TLR-1s**, and any **TLR-2** variant — but **not** the newer **TLR-1 HL-X** or smaller/larger models in the lineup.

Per the above the TLR-1 HL will fit in a holster made for the TLR-1. Therefore, any of the Safarilands for the TLR-1 should be fine.

I use the Safariland 6378 for my Glock 21 with TLR-1 (exact model is 6378-3832 (left hand) for IT M3 LIGHT (old TLR-1 name)). It works perfectly with the TLR-1. I also have a Bladetech Omnivore that works with many guns and locks on the light itself. The P226 with TLR-1 will work with this holster.

 
I looked at them, but there are a few complaints online about waiting for months and having to dispute charges.
Sorry to hear that. I have 4 holsters from them. The one time I had a QC issue, I reached out and they took care of me right away. The customer service was great.
 
I don’t know why I didn’t see that feature before, thanks.

It took me to this: Drop Leg Holster

Thoughts? I kind of worry about their 30% restocking fee if I hate it, or there’s something wrong with it, but it looks like it might be a winner.

After you've found what you are looking for on Safariland's website, including picking all the drop downs and colors, at the bottom you will see Part numbers, Model Numbers, SKU or MPN numbers. Search for those on websites like Opticsplanet and find the matching Part or SKU or MPN numnber. Fair warning, people love and hate optics planet. For me, they took a return of an unopened item back after the return period ended, so their CS has been good for me. They advertise free shipping and free returns.

I’ve only waited one month each time which is their lead time; unless you want to pay more for faster service. I recommended them to a friend recently for their steel challenge orientation, practice, and first match, and their wait time was one and and one week. Their holsters are quite smooth on the draw with retention being adjustable. They are catered towards competition than duty. Safari land is catered towards duty.

You can take the holster off the plate and put it on a variety of other belt attachments. Try finding it on Amazon and you can return it without a restocking fee. Careful with Optics Planet; sometimes they say an item is in stock but it is not. I had this problem with a Safariland holster and it didn't show up for two months.
