Guns Holsters and Gear

There has been a lot of interest in the new Sig Sauer P250 pistol. One of the only problems with this pistol is that there are few holsters available for it. While this will change in the coming months and years, what’s a person to do if they have already bought a P250 and need to carry it today?

There are a few options available to the Sig P250 owner. First, is the purchase and use of a “generic” holster. This includes fanny packs and non-specific nylon holsters like some of those made by Uncle Mikes. For a lot of people, these may not be good choices.

In polymer holsters, there are two choices available: the Blackhawk CQC Serpa Holster and the Sig Sauer branded “Serpa-like” holster. Both holsters are strong-side hip carry, outside the waistband holsters. Both holsters are open top with a retention button on the side of the holster where the trigger finger naturally lands when the shooter obtains his or her grip to draw. The Blackhawk comes in matte black or carbon fiber finishes ($48.99 and $58.99 respectively.) The Sig holster comes in matte black and retails for $44.95.

In leather, I have only found one company that is making holsters for the Sig P250: Kramer Handgun Leather. Kramer Handgun Leather has been producing finely made holsters for law enforcement and armed citizens since the early ’80s. Kramer recently obtained the castings needed for the P250 to begin producing their holsters for the new Sig.

In an e-mail, Will Kramer said that most of the Kramer line of holsters are available for the Sig P250. The obvious exceptions are the rigs designed for small guns such as the pocket and ankle holsters. This means you have a wide range of holsters now available including inside the waistband and traditional leather scabbards. Prices depend on the model holster and if any special detail work is requested. The quality is high, so the prices are very fair.

Another option is one of the fine holsters from CrossBreed Holsters. CrossBreed Holsters, among other things, makes several different inside the waistband holsters (IWB) that blend polymer and leather to create a very secure, yet comfortable, holster.

Mark Craighead, the owner of CrossBreed Holsters, said that they are able to produce holsters for the Sig P250 pistol immediately. Prices range from $52.50 to $65.50, and delivery is normally in about 2-3 weeks.
