I know safariland makes a holster for the usp 40 compact, with an m3, but I am not sure if I can get the .45 to fit as it is a little bit bigger. I need it to be a duty type holster, no tactical holsters. I would be willing to have one made even.

Is there a leathersmith near you? how about a saddlery? You could have one made to your specifications for around the same price you'd pay for high quality holster to fit your rig. You might pay a little more, but you'd have exactly what you want. Custom made.

check with where you purchased the weapon, they should be able to recommend a holster for you.depending on any modifications that might have been made to the weapon, you may have to get a holster custom made

I don't know any duty holster made that will fit ANY semi-auto with a flashlight bolted on. The ONLY ones I know of that will accept them are the open-faced, spring loaded 'clam shell' types similar to the Bianchi X-15 models. I have carried the full-size USP .45ACP for several ears now, and haven't been able to find ANY holster, belt or shoulder rig, Brand name or generic, that will even accept the H-K with a LASER sight, much less a flashlight. If I want to holster carry, I have to remove the LASER for the pistol to fit properly in several holsters I have. From prior experience, I would get the best fitting holster for the USP Compact without the flashlight, and carry a separate light, as the flash on the weapon is more a liability, as it will pinpoint you as a better target if the situation ever arises, whereas a separate light can be held to the side or overhead, drawing offensive fire away from your person.

Here's a list of the Safariland holsters that will fit a full size USP 45 with a Surefire X200. I couldn't see any for the M3, but it might also work with your light, as well. The M3 doesn't appear to be much larger, if any, than the X200. http://www.midwayusa.com/ebrowse.exe/browse?CurrentSort=manufacturer_a&CurrentCountRet=20&CurrentManufacture=AnyCompany&CategoryString=10613***694***12659***10778***&CategoryID=11277&BrandID=&page=4&KeyWord=&TabID=7&company_select=AnyCompany&search_keywords2=light&Click+to+Begin+Refined+Search224.x=0&Click+to+Begin+Refined+Search224.y=0&Click+to+Begin+Refined+Search224=Search_Button&sort1=manufacturer_a&PageSelect=4&RecordsReturned=20&PageSelect2=4&RecordsReturned2=20
