I just ordered a custom gun belt and now would like suggestions for a owb holster to be used for cc- untucked shirt, jacket,etc. Anyone out there have recommendations re: nylon/leather/other materials? I have a great Galco leather for a revolver, and a couple of pocket holsters in both leather and nylon for my j-frames, but am looking for some thoughts out there. Thanks and Happy Holidays.

Do not get a bianchi 7001 series accumold thumb snap holster. You will never
get a belt to fit properly in the slot. There is simply not enough space for a normal thickness belt to slide through.
 
Top holsters for a SIG Sauer P226 pistol....

There are a few top holsters out there for the P226 line. Be sure to ask if the rig will properly fit a P226R model or 1913 rail if that's the SIG P226 version you own.
I'd check www.Miltsparks.com www.safariland.com www.blackhawk.com www.mitchrosen.com www.blade-tech.com www.comholsters.com www.kirkpatrickleather.com www.highnoonholsters.com www.donhume.com . Other popular holster makers include; Alessi, Galco, Ted Blocker, Greg Kramer, Mernickle, Bulman.

The Safariland SFS & ALS holsters are well engineered. The SERPA brand is fast and secure too. If you want a high quality leather rig, the Kramer horsehide is a good choice. Many "armed professionals" use Kramer, Milt Sparks & Mitch Rosen gear.

Clyde- The Blackhawk Serpa CQC or Sportster Serpa look like what I need, but I am hearing some discussion as to fit of the railed vs non-railed 226's. Mine is a newer E2 with rail. Any thoughts or should I try to find one to try out in person?
 
I second ClydeFrog's recommendation for you to check out Milt Sparks holsters. All my carry guns are carried in Sparks holsters.

Before you look any further at the Serpa holsters. I recommend you do a search on issues and problems people have had with them. The issues have even had the Serpa holster banned at FLETC. I also believe in IDPA competition. I am not involved with IDPA but there were a few hits on IDPA banning the holster.
 
SERPAs, 1913 rails, holsters....

I'd contact Blackhawk's customer service or LE sales office after the major holidays. I think they sell a regular SERPA for the R or rail type SIG Sauer models but check first.
FWIW; I bought a new SERPA holster(left hand) for my full size M&P 9x19mm with 0 problems. A few ranges & agencies have knocked the Blackhawk SERPAs but I think it's a training/operator issue.
The main point is NOT to pull the trigger when you holster your sidearm.
If it's a big problem, look at a SFS or ALS model. Safariland has been a long time source for holsters & gear to 1,000s of armed professionals.

The Kramer, Milt Sparks & Mitch Rosen lines are custom but will last years.

No problem....

Your very welcome.
I purchased my left hand SERPA holster in late 2011 from www.Natchezss.com for around $28.00 USD. I had no issues with it & like the fact you could adjust it.

Now some armed professionals & instructors bad-mouth the Blackhawk SERPAs saying it can break or be damaged in extreme conditions(dirt, sand, mud, snow, etc). This may be true. If I were working in these places, I'd get a UM92 holster or a Safariland SFS. Safariland SFS & ALS holsters are in use with many special ops & PMCs in SW Asia.
The SERPA concealed holster should do fine for general, armed citizen use.

Stay safe & stay legal, ;)
