How to choose the best holster for your Sig Sauer P226 Legion
Start with the basics: comfort, retention, and fit. You want a holster that keeps your Sig Sauer P226 Legion snug without digging into your side or shifting when you move. That means molded contours that match the shape of the gun, and materials that hold up whether you’re walking, driving, or getting through a long day on your feet. Next, think about how you carry. A full-size pistol like the Legion isn’t the lightest ride, so balancing concealment and accessibility matters. A good Sig Sauer P226 Legion holster should give you a steady draw without printing or jabbing when you sit down. Finally, look at build quality. Whether it’s leather, Kydex, or hybrid, the holster should be solid enough to last and smooth where it touches skin or clothing. Adjustable retention, sweat guards, and cant tweaks help dial it in for your style.
Best Sig Sauer P226 Legion IWB Holster
IWB Holster w Steel Clip – $89. This leather holster can be carried both IWB and appendix style, offering flexibility in how you choose to carry your Sig Sauer P226 Legion. The steel clip design is perfect for those who dislike removing their belt when attaching or detaching the holster. It also features a reinforced thumb break strap, adding extra durability and increasing the holster’s natural retention, making it a highly secure option.
Best Sig Sauer P226 Legion OWB Holster
Open Top Belt Holster – $89. The Open Top Belt Holster is an excellent choice for those seeking easy access and a quick draw. Its pancake design provides a slim, low-profile fit, ensuring that your Sig Sauer P226 Legion remains concealed even in an OWB carry position. This holster is not only practical but also extremely comfortable for daily wear.
Best Sig Sauer P226 Legion Shoulder Holster
Shoulder Holster System – $215. For shoulder holster fans, the Shoulder Holster System is the best option for the Sig Sauer P226 Legion. This leather shoulder system allows you to carry your gun in a horizontal position, secured with a thumb break strap for added safety. The system includes a double ammo holder and tie-down straps that attach to your belt, offering excellent balance and security. As a bonus, the holster can also be used as a regular belt holster, giving you two carry options in one.
Carry Options for Sig Sauer P226 Legion holsters
Concealed Carry
IWB Holsters
An IWB holster for the Sig Sauer P226 Legion works best when you want deep concealment without sacrificing draw speed. Tuck it just behind your hip or appendix-style, and it disappears under a shirt or hoodie. Make sure the holster rides low enough to stay hidden, but not so low that it’s awkward to grab. Look for a Sig Sauer P226 Legion IWB holster with a slim profile and adjustable cant. That makes a real difference when you're adjusting for comfort during a long sit.
OWB Holsters
If you prefer more breathing room, an OWB holster for the Sig Sauer P226 Legion is a solid option. It rides outside the waistband, making it quicker to draw and easier to wear for long hours. You can still conceal it with a jacket or overshirt. Choose one that rides high and tight to your body so the gun doesn’t swing or stick out. A good OWB Sig Sauer P226 Legion holster should feel secure without needing a thick belt to stay balanced.
Shoulder Holsters
A shoulder holster for the Sig Sauer P226 Legion can really come in handy if you’re sitting a lot, like on road trips or during desk work, or if waistband carry isn’t comfortable. It spreads the weight across your shoulders and keeps the gun out of the way until you need it. Look for adjustable straps and a horizontal draw if you want smoother access. A well-fitted Sig Sauer P226 Legion shoulder holster won't shift around or sag under the weight of a full-size pistol.

Summary
Finding the right Sig Sauer P226 Legion holster is all about balancing comfort, concealment, and access. Whether you're going for an IWB setup to keep it hidden, an OWB rig for open carry or range time, or a shoulder system for seated comfort, there’s a carry style that fits how you live day to day. The holster needs to match the shape of your routine just as much as it matches the shape of your gun. Small things like ride height and retention tweaks really matter when you're carrying a full-size pistol like the Legion. Pick a Sig Sauer P226 Legion holster that feels right from the start and keeps feeling that way after hours on your feet, behind the wheel, or moving through your day.
