Optic + WML + Kydex Holster recommendations

Before I even get going because I'm sure it'll be the first post, I'm not interested in leather options. I know a few purist will cringe, but it's just not what I'm looking for.

Anyways... I have a Springfield Operator (Commander) with rds and TLR1HL that I'm trying to find an AIWB and OWB holster for. My usual go-to for AIWB holsters doesn't have a model for this combo, so have to branch out. I'd like to not fill the holster box with too many more mistakes, if possible.

For OWB, really trying to find something that rides a little higher and pulls very close to the body.

Would appreciate any recommendations and pics. Thanks for any help!

I’m not saying this is going to be comfy: https://www.phlsterholsters.com/floodlight2-iwb-holster-with-comfortscape/

And I find Tenicor works great for me.

I have an original PHLster floodlight, but it interferes with the safety. It's actually a really comfortable holster.

I do see a lot of positive reviews for Tenicor stuff.

That's who I usually go to! They have 1911 holsters, but nothing with a WML

Gunner’s Custom Kydex in NC. They have an impressive amount of light/gun combos, fairly frequent sales, and make and ship quick.

For reference, my experience was for an M45A1 w/X300u appendix. I also suggest a two hook setup to stabilize the platform, and you can also just upgrade the clips to DCC if needed

If you have an AIWB kydex rig you like for light mounted 1911, it is nothing to modify for optic…

Unfortunately I do not. This is my first 1911.

I use a JM Kydex holster MP/x300 for all my rail mounted x300 guns.
