Carry Options for Sig Sauer P229 holsters
Concealed Carry
If you carry the Sig Sauer P229 daily, you probably want a setup that disappears under a shirt but still draws clean. A Sig Sauer P229 concealed carry holster should sit close to the body and keep the grip easy to access. Think about your clothing, whether you’re sitting a lot, or on your feet all day. Those small lifestyle details change what feels right.
IWB Holsters
An SIG P229 IWB holster tucks the gun inside your waistband, which works well under a loose tee or hoodie. Look for a model with adjustable cant so you can find that sweet spot where the grip doesn’t print or jab your ribs. It’s a simple setup that stays secure whether you’re walking or hopping in and out of a car.
OWB Holsters
OWB is a solid option if you’re not worried about deep concealment. A Sig P229 OWB holster rides outside the waistband, making it faster to draw and easier to reholster. Good for range time or jacket weather when you’ve got some coverage. Just make sure the holster hugs your body well so it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb.
Shoulder Holsters
Shoulder holsters come in handy for winter carry or long drives. You can hang the Sig P229 shoulder holster under a jacket and avoid any waistband pressure. A good rig balances the weight with spare mags on the other side so it’s not pulling at your neck. This style isn’t for everyone, but when you need it, you’ll be glad to have it.
Duty Holsters
If you're carrying the P229 on the job, retention and durability come first. A Sig P229 duty holster should lock the gun in until you need it and stay rock solid through long shifts. Level 2 or 3 retention is a smart call. Make sure the draw stroke fits your training. It’s got to be second nature.

The Bearded Sharpener
This holster is very well made. It did need some stretching as it was very tight on both the handgun and mag. Not a problem as I tell everyone when it is tight it allows you to obtain the retention you desire. I will show how to stretch it in the upcoming video later this week. It is very comfortable and with the stiffness of the belt clip there is no need for it to come loose, especially when drawing the firearm and mag. Great holster.
Toby
Holster fits like a dream, holds the weapon snug and in place. Holster is super comfortable and looks amazing, only down side is there was no optics cut option.
Steven
Received my three position holster a few day age and love it. The only issue I have is the belt tunnel is a little tight but I am sure the kit will help with is issue as it has on my other three holsters I have purchased from Craft. I now have four holsters for four different pieces and love all of them.
