At Shot Show 2019 in February, Olight launched the PL-Mini Valkyrie 2. This light was different than the original PL-Mini Valkyrie in a number of ways, but one of the most important for holster fitment is that the light was redesigned to be shorter and fit better on subcompact pistols.

This change in form factor made the light both shorter, and slightly increased the height of the light.

The PL-Mini (original) is longer and not as tall.

The PL-Mini 2 is shorter and taller.

As a result, holsters built for a pistol with one of the PL-Mini versions will not work with the same pistol but the other PL-Mini version. You cannot expect a holster for a Glock 19 with the PL-Mini Valkyrie 2 to fit the same Glock 19 with a PL-Mini Valkyrie (and vice-versa).

So… how do you determine which light you have? The Pl-Mini Valkrie 2 has a bit “2” on the right side of the light. That will help you ensure that the holster you order is fit for your light.
