An outside-the-waistband light-bearing platform developed around the exact approved firearm-and-light assembly and the complete belt or modular mounting stack.
Light-bearing OWB architecture
The shell opening and light channel manage the wider accessory envelope, while the attachment stack controls presentation and load transfer. Hole pattern, spacers and adapter geometry must clear the shell and the carried configuration.
Program decisions
| Decision | Buyer input | Approval evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Fit reference | Exact firearm, light and allowed accessories | Identified configured sample |
| Access/coverage | Opening, controls, optic and muzzle boundaries | Seating and handling review |
| Retention | Passive, adjustable or specified supplemental method | Written test condition and result |
| OWB mounting | Belt/platform, ride, cant, offset and fastener stack | Installed movement and clearance check |
Sample approval focus
Inspect light and switch clearance, insertion path, retention, attachment movement, leverage, allowed adjustments, hardware engagement and interaction with garments or adjacent equipment named in the brief.
