bagdrag Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I'm looking for a holster for a friend and wanted to suggest a Safariland, but I'm running into a snafu. According to Safariland's willfit charts, P226's with a serial# after 365426 have a wide trigger guard and will not fit any of their concealment holsters. Anybody else run into this issue or is the willfit chart all wrong? My friend's P226 does not have a light rail in case you were wondering. Any other suggestions for holsters besides blade-tech (which is one consideration)? I really like how the Safariland's have a suede-type lining for their concealment holsters. I'm asking in this forum because action shooters typically know which ones are the best. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbs007 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I have this one that I bought used but in excellent shape. It's a carry holster and if interested it's $30 shipped. http://www.holsters.com/concealment/holsters/model518.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will fit chart says 'no'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAFO Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I can't comment on the Safariland, but you might also want to check out Comp-Tac. I have one of their IWB MTAC's for my 229 and I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagdrag Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 Thanks. Comp-Tac is under consideration, but I think my friend is looking for something with a bit more retention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whistlepig Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 depends on what u doing with the gun and holster. Concealment..... go high quality custom leather. I like Milt Sparks myself. Not much more money than bulk made safarialnd or galco and wayyyyyy better quality. great comfort and no gun fit problems. The only downside is waiting on it. They are busy. As far as retention, a proper fit custom leather holster will hold the gun till u draw it. It won't bounce out, even under heated activity. for sport or matches? Bladetech.

bagdrag Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share Posted April 13, 2011 The holster will probably get most of its use from outdoor field carry. I believe (hope) he is using it to carry his P226 as a self-defense gun (protection from people not animals I hope) while hunting. This is my friend's intended use but not my suggested use. Thanks for the Milt Sparks suggestion. I will look more closely at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrel Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Take a look at the Blackhawk Serpa line. I use one for IDPA and open carry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
multistage Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I favor Alessi and Kramer. They build pretty good stuff. Spendy, but worth every penny. I ordered an Alessi Talon Plus on a Tuesday, and the following Monday it was on my porch. Never had a Milt Sparks, but only because I didn't want to wait six months (for real!) to get one.

Chuck Anderson Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I've got a brand new Safariland holster and a brand new Sig. Mine had the light rail and required a bit of fitting. The trigger guard fit fine though. Great holster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
