How to choose the best holster for your Sig Sauer P290

The Sig Sauer P290 is compact and built for concealed carry, so your holster should match that low-profile style. You want something that hugs close to the body, feels comfortable when you sit, and doesn’t shift as you move. Materials matter here. Leather adds a bit of flex over time, while Kydex keeps its shape for a cleaner draw. Either way, make sure the holster covers the trigger and stays put on your belt. Adjustability helps too. A holster that lets you tweak the ride height or cant angle is worth it if you’re wearing it all day. Lastly, don’t settle for a generic fit. A Sig Sauer P290 holster made specifically for the gun avoids rattling and awkward draw angles.

 

Best Sig Sauer P290 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 P290. 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 P290 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 P290 remains concealed even in an OWB carry position. This holster is not only practical but also extremely comfortable for daily wear.

Best Sig Sauer P290 Shoulder Holster

Shoulder Holster System – $215. For shoulder holster fans, the Shoulder Holster System is the best option for the Sig Sauer P290. 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 P290 holsters

Concealed Carry

If you're carrying the P290, chances are it’s tucked away under a shirt or jacket. That’s where a Sig Sauer P290 concealed holster really earns its keep. You need something slim enough to disappear but sturdy enough to keep the draw smooth. How it feels when you're seated, like driving or at a desk, matters just as much as how it carries standing up.

IWB Holsters

Inside-the-waistband setups are the go-to for keeping it low-profile. A Sig Sauer P290 IWB holster should stay snug against your body without digging into your hip. Look for one that lets you adjust the cant so you can angle the grip right where your hand expects it. A soft backing or sweat guard helps if you're carrying all day.

OWB Holsters

Outside-the-waistband works if you’re layering or wearing a longer shirt or jacket. A good Sig Sauer P290 OWB holster keeps the gun high and tight, so it doesn’t print or swing. Paddle-style backs can be easy on and off, while belt loops ride more securely. Just make sure it holds firm and doesn’t shift when you walk.

Shoulder Holsters

Not everyone carries this way, but if you do, comfort and balance matter most. A Sig Sauer P290 shoulder holster spreads the weight and keeps the gun tucked at mid-chest level. Easy to reach, hard to spot under a jacket. It’s a solid choice for colder months or long drives where waist carry isn’t ideal.

paddle holsters

Sometimes you just want quick on, quick off. That’s where paddle holsters shine. A Sig Sauer P290 paddle holster grips your waistband with a wide, contoured back, so it holds steady without threading through belt loops. Great for range trips or when you're not wearing a belt. Just make sure the paddle clips feel solid and don’t flex too much.

holsters with laser

If your P290 is rocking a laser, finding a good holster takes a bit more care. A Sig Sauer P290 holster with laser needs to account for that added bulk without jamming the draw. Avoid universal fits since they rarely hold tight. Go with a holster cut specifically for your model and attachment. That way, everything stays aligned and accessible.

Summary

Picking the right Sig Sauer P290 holster comes down to how you live with your gun every day. If you carry for hours at a time, comfort matters more than almost anything else. If you want fast on-and-off access, a paddle setup might make more sense. And if you’ve got a laser attachment, you need a holster that won’t snag or squeeze the extra piece. Whether it’s deep concealment with an IWB, a molded fit for your laser, or an easy-carry Sig Sauer P290 paddle holster, the right choice makes a difference. Keep your draw smooth, your carry secure, and your setup comfortable from the first wear.
