I want it pretty bright but it's also got to burn a good long time, it might be an hour or three + walk back to the truck with wolves trailing me.
I use a headlamp now but find a weapon light would be good to have.

Check him out he will make a holster that will fit any light you decide to buy. His holsters are amazing. My carry piece is carried in his holster 24/7.

I like the Bianchi M12 style holster for outdoor use, as it can be used as a shoulder holster, drop leg, belt, or molle attached holster. And you can find them cheap as milsurp. They will not accommodate a light.
Another option is Simply Rugged for a semi-custom job. Excellent quality.

or ALSŪ OMV Tactical Holster w/ Quick Release Leg Strap which would be really nice for wearing on my back pack, on the belly belt, it has molle attachment points.

I'd go with whatever light you want and whatever holster you want, with the intention of carrying the light in a shirt/jacket pocket for attachment when you think you might want to have your gun in hand. They attach quick enough.

get a bluff charge from a bear/moose in the middle of the night you'd wish that light was already on :chuckle:
I like a little red light on a head lamp but it don't reach out too far

that and ice/gunk can get in the finger tab release and hold it shut locking your weapon in the holster.

Perhaps. More likely I'd wish I had a change of shorts, if it was just a bluff. Otherwise, the G20 would be in my hand, regardless.
My headlamp has a sliding red lense that's pretty quick for more illumination, if I need it. Petal tactikka or something like that.

If you're open to a carry option besides a tac. holster consider the Hill People Gear Kit Bag.
