How to choose the best holster for your Sig Sauer P228

Start with comfort. If it digs in, rides up, or shifts around, you’re not going to wear it. Look for a holster that’s shaped to your Sig Sauer P228 so it sits snug and stays put. Retention matters too. You want a draw that feels smooth, but not loose. Adjustable retention helps you fine-tune that feel. Holsters with solid belt clips or loops make a big difference when you're on your feet all day or hopping in and out of a car. Material plays a role. Leather molds to your body over time and softens the sharp edges. Kydex stays rigid and precise. Hybrid holsters blend the two: sturdy where it counts, padded where it helps. Whatever you pick, make sure the holster was made specifically for the Sig P228. Generic fits feel okay until they don’t.

 

Best Sig Sauer P228 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 P228. 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 P228 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 P228 remains concealed even in an OWB carry position. This holster is not only practical but also extremely comfortable for daily wear.

Best Sig Sauer P228 Shoulder Holster

Shoulder Holster System – $215. For shoulder holster fans, the Shoulder Holster System is the best option for the Sig Sauer P228. 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 P228 holsters

Concealed Carry

The Sig Sauer P228 hits that sweet spot for concealed carry. It’s not tiny, but it’s slim and balanced. That’s why a purpose-built Sig Sauer P228 concealed carry holster matters. You want something that tucks in low and holds steady under a shirt or jacket without printing. Think about how you dress day to day. A tucked IWB with a claw can make a difference if you wear slimmer clothing. Appendix carry works too, especially with a good wedge or foam pad to take pressure off when you sit.

IWB Holsters

Inside-the-waistband holsters are a go-to for keeping the Sig P228 out of sight. Look for one with adjustable ride height and cant, so you can tweak the angle until it disappears under your clothes. A well-made Sig Sauer P228 IWB hoslter gives a secure lock, fit and keeps the draw crisp. If you carry all day, consider soft backing or padding around the edges. It’s the kind of comfort you notice after hour three.

OWB Holsters

Outside-the-waistband carry gives you more room to breathe, literally. It’s easier on the hips if you’re wearing it for long stretches, and you’ll get a faster draw. The trick with an OWB Sig Sauer P228 holster is concealment. A close-to-body profile helps it ride tight under a loose shirt or jacket. Paddle holsters are quick to put on and off, but belt-slide designs stay locked in better during movement.

Shoulder Holsters

If you’re layering up or driving a lot, a Sig Sauer P228 shoulder holster might make more sense. It shifts the weight off your waist and makes access easier while seated. Just be sure the rig’s adjusted to your size. Too loose and it flops, too tight and it pulls weird. Horizontal draw works better for speed, while vertical helps with concealment under a coat.

Summary

The right Sig Sauer P228 holster should feel like part of your daily setup, not something extra to think about. Whether you go with an IWB for clean concealed carry, an OWB for comfort, or a shoulder holster for seated access, it’s got to match the way you live. Leather options offer that soft, natural break-in if that’s what you prefer. Hybrid or full Kydex setups give you rock-solid consistency. Whatever the material or style, it’s all about having a Sig Sauer P228 holster that holds where it should, draws clean, and lets you move without a second thought. When it fits right, you carry more often and more confidently. That’s the whole point.
