I have a G19 Gen 5 MOS with an optic and a weapon light.

Before the “if you carry a flashlight you’re a poser” or “it’s a gimmick, you don’t need it” comments start, just downvote like you were already planning to and keep scrolling. 😂

I’m looking for a custom holster and have considered either making one myself out of Kydex or having one made in leather.

I know I can’t be the only person running a lesser known weapon light. It’s my personal preference, and I’d like to be able to carry the pistol with my preferred setup.

For those of you who have gone the custom route, who made your holster? Any recommendations for companies or individuals willing to mold around less common lights?

I’m a tech worker who works remotely, and I’ve been going back and forth on whether the G2 is right for me. I spend most of my day in front of a computer, but I’m also pretty active outside of work.

If I get a pair, the last thing I want is for them to become a “dummy” pair of prescription glasses that only add value when I’m away from my desk. I’ve seen a few people mention that the projected text tends to blend into a computer screen, so I’m curious how true that is in day to day use.

For those of you who WFH or spend 8+ hours at a computer:
Do you wear your G2s all day?

Does the display become distracting or fade into the background?

Do you end up turning the display off while working?

Have they actually made you more productive?

One of the biggest reasons I’m interested is that I’d love to leave my phone in another room while I work. I don’t wear a smartwatch either, so having notifications without constantly reaching for my phone is really appealing.

I plan on building my own plugins/apps for the G2 if I end up getting them. I’m hoping to create a few productivity focused tools and custom workflows, so I’d love to hear from anyone else who’s developing for the platform.

I wear prescription glasses every day anyway, so I’m trying to figure out whether these can realistically replace my daily glasses or if they’re better as something you only throw on when you’re out and about. Any insight would be appreciated.
