Thought this would be pretty straightforward and easy.
Wanted to get a Safariland holster for my Sig 226 enhanced elite and was planning on getting a light for it in the next week so went with the 6280 model made for:
(77421) Sig Sauer P226S, P226SO, P226R, P220R, P220S w/ accy rail w/ M3, M6, M3 LED, TLR-1, TLR-2, Insight XTI Procyon
This is the model 226 I have: P226 Enhanced Elite
When I put the handgun in it felt like it was going to fit, but as soon as I let go of the handgun, it simple drooped down in the holster like it needed the light attached to securely fit. Put the retention hood down and tightened the adjustment screws it didn't help; the handgun will wobble around all over the place. This is almost like it wasn't meant for this handgun.
A while back I tried a different Safariland holster again listed for the 226 with a rail but with the ALS system and was told by their customer service that 'newer' Sig 226s have issues with their ALS system due to Sig changing some dimension on the trigger guard. Now I've tried the 6280 and the gun flops around in it like its a size too small. This is starting to drive me crazy.
Contacted Safariland CS via email and I got a 'we do not rate holsters for the enhanced elite special run'; whatever the fuck that was supposed to mean, and got them on the phone with a women that I don't think knew what a handgun was.
I don't like the GCode holsters for the 226 and already have the Safariland quick attach system on my belts; this should be WAY easier and I can't understand why this won't fit. Is there some sort of trick with this specific handgun?
