How to choose the best holster for your Sig Sauer P229

A SIG P229 holster should offer the same dependable feel and balance that make this compact SIG such a trusted sidearm. Whether you need a discreet carry option or a stable holster for SIG P229 for daily use, the right fit will keep the pistol secure, protect the alloy frame, and ensure a smooth, confident draw. With proper molding and retention, the P229 carries comfortably and stays ready whenever you need it.

 

 

Best Sig Sauer P229 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 P229. 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 P229 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 P229 remains concealed even in an OWB carry position. This holster is not only practical but also extremely comfortable for daily wear.

Best Sig Sauer P229 Shoulder Holster

Shoulder Holster System – $215. For shoulder holster fans, the Shoulder Holster System is the best option for the Sig Sauer P229. 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 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.

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.
