For kydex, I like JW Custom Kydex... Tony makes terrific holsters. Fit so well, it will actually engage my thumb safety upon insertion.

I just picked up a Sig Scorpion 1911 and am in the same boat. I don’t have a light just yet but will keep a TLR or Inforce on there. Holsters seem to be a little difficult to find if you want a light as well.

Check my link- he has a whole dropdown menu of over a dozen common lights on the individual holster pages.

maybe I'm looking in the wrong spot, but the only light options for Sig 1911's 5" w/rail are for the Inforce lights and the XC1. If I go with the enforce for a light that would be an option, but I'm really leaning towards the streetlight TLR1

http://www.giholsters.com does awesome leather lined kydex holsters. For pure kydex, I recommend Trinity Carry Concepts. I have 3 holsters from Trinity, and they are great. The speed clips are awesome.

If you decide to go all leather, Randy Warren makes a beautiful leather holster for a very reasonable price and awesome lead times.

The light options seem to depend on the specific gun and holster models, which may be a characteristic of either the size or attachment. (I don't know) The OWB 2, for example lists the TLR lights as well as other not listed in the OWB 1's dropdown menu. I'd shoot Tony an email and see if he will do the light of your choice (if not listed) for the holster model you want. His gear is excellent.
