FUSE specific holster options?

I am creating this thread hoping to make it a place for members to post holster options they have found for the P365 Fuse.

Hopefully there will be little to no subject drift so it can be a decent reference. I have been shooting the Fuse for about 3 weeks now and approaching 1500 rounds with zero issues, but I need an OWB holster for it WITH a light to carry when working (LE). I will start the first post after this one for the only holster I have found so far.

Also…. Personally, I am not interested in a one fits all type of holster that has the muzzle end of the slide exposed to be hit on chair arms, radio consoles or just regular consoles in a car, or ANYTHING for that matter to cause it to pop out. IMO those types of holsters should be for range use only. I know that anything of that type for a P365 would work for the fuse most likely, assuming the 1913 rail clears.

My current search is of a FUSE specific closed or at least covered muzzle with a TLR-7 SUB light for OWB, but this can be a place to post any Fuse SPECIFIC holster please?

Alien Gear Photon - came with paddle, two sized belt clips, and extra hardware to be used IWB, AIWB or OWB with adjustable cant and height. Very flexible and a pretty good bargain. I have been using this AIWB for about 3 weeks. It has worked well for me, and conceals well. If they made one for the Fuse and a TLR-7 (coming in the a couple months I am told) I would buy another, and may anyway if I don’t find something else before hand.

I am calling this one good to go as well as the Fuse after nearly 1500 rounds of many types and weights of rounds without issues.

Agreed on your points. For now the Alien Gear Photon will work. Just researched a large variety of options and this has the most versatility. Priced appropriately. Holster+side car with options a bargain at under $100.00. I AIWB EDC and the fuse is pushing my cc limits. I'll carry 17+1 and side car 21. I'll give it a try and besides..you got a 30 trial period. Thanks for the lead and review.

McKinatec Holsters currently offers a couple of OWB options for the P365 Fuse w/TLR-7 Sub light:



I'd also suggest keeping an eye out for Fuse OWB light-bearing options from T-Rex Arms and Superstition Concealment based on my experience with holsters from both companies.

I have the extra length version of the JM Custom Kydex AIWB for the X Macro as longer holsters conceal better for AIWB, and according to the owner it does fit the Fuse, completely covering the muzzle end.

Definitely true. If you have, as many do, an overhang above the belt… even a small one, a short OAL will obviously make it tilt out and print badly. I will check into the JM site, but personally now I am looking for an OWB. I have a good AIWB from Alien that is working out well.

Thank ya sir.

I’m too “thick” for IWB. I’ve been using a Bravo Concealment for my XL, I guess I’ll have to order a new one as the closed bottom is too short for my Fuse. Or I may look at the Andrew’s Leathers, I carry my Glock 19 in one of his McDaniel holster. Comfortable and classic.

So, an update for me. I am staying with the Alien Gear for AIWB. There is another brand that I would probably like more based on previous purchases, but not enough to toss the AG. It is working just fine.

I picked up a Blade Tech OWB for the FUSE without a light and it too is perfectly fine so far. It will likely be the least used, but since most light bearing require the light to work, I wanted something when in a hurry and have the light off. Most of the time I am OWB I would have the light mounted.

However, I recently found out from my favorite Kydex maker that he has just completed his designs for the FUSE so I have one for the Fuse OWB with the TLR-7 Sub incoming. If this one is like all the others I have from this guy I will be using it most of the time.

His stuff is so well made, and the fit is so good on every other one I have, that I keep going back to him.

I have ZERO skin in the game with this maker, I just happen to really like his holsters. They conceal well, have a lot of mounting options, and the retention is spot on for every one I have. The gun goes in the holster freely and the last 1’4” or so of travel the gun SNAPS into place. Draw is adjustable for tension, but after that very short release travel it slides out freely. I have turned them upside down (unloaded of course) and shook them as hard as I can, they do not fall out. On many others I always find myself pushing hard to make sure the gun is fully seated because the that little bit of travel is usually a “squeeze” feeling. These snap in and snap out, very quietly, and very consistently. The oldest has been drawn from several thousand times between range visits once or twice a week and dry fire practice a few times a week for the last 3 years or there about.


If I have any issues with the AIWB I will replace it with one of these.

They are not on the website yet, but he is building for the Fuse and I feel certain you will be satisfied.

These were sent to me to choose which belt loop setup I wanted and do not show all of the front, but you get the idea. He has other colors, etc. I stick with basic black.

After about a week of research I decided on the IWB Kydex from Muddy River Tactical. I have heard that shorter holsters will work but might cause the firearm grip to lean out and print. Decided not to chance it. Very pleased with the quality, price, and fit of the holster. Check them out if you are interested. Shipped faster than they said it may take (got it 3 days after ordering). Below are a couple of photos to give you an idea.

Hi BloodyThumb,

I recently purchased the P365 Fuse, and installed the TRL-7 Sub light, and the Romeo X enclosed red dot. I am looking for a good OWB holster for practice at the range. I will also be looking for a good IWD after I get used to my pistol, and have a couple thousand rounds through her. I am a smaller female, not quite 5'3", so I will definitely need an IWB that is adjustable. I really wanted the Tenicor, but theirs is for larger Streamlight light, and the Sub doesn't fit correctly.

Looking forward to see what you have found.
Thank you, T.

Hello,
I just ordered an OWB from NERD, I should have the holster by next week, I'm hoping it will work out very well. I am super pleased with customer service. I ordered 2 different best attachments, one for EDC, and one for the range. If you are interested in how I like it, let me know. I found a few other holsters, but none of the others specifically fit my TLR-7 Sub light.

Unfortunately, several companies currently offer holsters ONLY for the additional TLR-7, and not the newer and smaller TLR-8, which I run. I'm in contact with a few companies, one specifically 'Four Brothers' are in the engineering phase on this holster - and should be on the horizon shortly. I'm not sure why so few companies haven't switch over to TLR-8 light housings since it IS smaller but again, it's a newer light for that fact.

Actually, the TLR-8 is slightly larger than the TLR-7.

Companies that mass produce their products tend to stock the most common models. The TLR-7 customer base is greater than the TLR-8.

Unfortunately, that's just unconditionally incorrect, especially to the length factor which is what I was referring too. Specifically, the micro versions, The TLR-7 & 8X measures 2.58". The TLR-7 came out 2 years prior, however it would seem more sales and setups go for the more larger TLR-7 based on holster availability.

Unfortunately, they don't make one for it with the 8X - yet. Bought two other holsters from them and was honestly very unimpressed if not disappointed in their OWB formula (Glock 43). Zero stability, wobbles back and forth on the belt and minus the two minute 'claws', they really disappoint with holding lateral and vertical traction. Will be looking elsewhere for the time in hoping to find a better retaining package. Their belt loop 'retainer' is unrealistically too small and provides almost zero retention. Share back if you find a better one though.
