I am, hopefully, a proud owner of a Sig P239 SAS 9MM.
Now I need to buy a holster for CC. Any suggestions?
This will be my primary CC during the cold months as I can wear a jacket. Really looking forward to taking this to the range.
My choices were a Glock 26 9MM; a XD Sub Compact 9MM; or the Sig. Out of the three, the Sig was most comfortable in my hand. A bit heavier than the others and maybe a bit longer, but the most comfortable. I sure hope I won't be sorry.
I guess I'm the only P239 9MM owner! Anyway, ordered a Sig holster, and just found out it's on back order. Don't need more than one OWB, so I'm not sure what the heck I'm gonna do. Hate to spend $60+ for an IWB.
They don't make the Royal Guard for the P239. There are quite a few happy Summer Comfort customers on this forum though. You might want to give it a try.
On another note, if you're looking for OWB leather, they make the Side Snap Scabbard for the P239. I have one, and it is a very well made holster. :smt023
A good holster makes all of the difference for a CCW. Be willing to spend a little extra for a comfortable holster, you will never regret it.
I have both the summer comfort and the Royal Guard holsters. Both are nice and are comfortable for an IWB holster. Understand, though, that if you have not worn a IWB holster, you may find that it take a little getting used to.
All of this Galco Love is making me feel warm inside (it could be the burito I had for lunch).
What belt holster did you buy?
What are your plans for carry when it gets warm?
How many hours a day do you carry?
How many days a week?
Do you take your gun off to go into work/the store?
What is your general build?

Great point O.P.! One of the reasons I am a fan of the IWB with snaps is that I often have to go on college campuses (in Tennessee you can not carry on campuses), and being able to unsnap and put my firearm in a lock box makes things easy. If I didn't have to do this, I might choose a different setup (not a fan of paddles though). Also, while it is legal to Open Carry with a permit here, I like not having a noticeable bulge where my gun is... Not an open carry fan.

Just bought the Galco Stow-n-Go and a Fobus Roto. I know many don't like the Fobus line, but I've used them before and really like the comfort for a paddle.
When it gets warm I will go back to pocket carrying my Ruger LCP.
Hours per day depends upon what my activities will be. Normally though, 4 - 8.
Pretty much 7 days a week.
Only take it off if I am entering one of the 17 places that Arkansas says I can't carry.
I have been carrying my Glock 23 in a Galco Summer comfort holster all week. Very comfortable, easy to draw from and easy to reholster, and by that I mean one handed reholstering is quick and easy to do. The holster does not shift on me during the day, and no one has noted that I was packing. Again, once you get used to carrying IWB this brand/style of holster is very comfortable.
I have the Royal Guard for my sig 220 and like it quite a bit too. I may wear it next week, if my jealous j-frame that I normally carry, will allow me to do so.
What convinced me? A lot of the feedback here. But last eve, I actually loaded both mags of the P239. Popped one in the pistol, put on the Stow n Go and was ready to go out the door. Wife is a nurse and was almost 2 hours late. Knowing where she parks, the neighborhood, and all the crap that has been going on in Litte Rock, I was ready to find her. Just as I was readying to walk out the door she called. Whew. Got tied up in a doctors conference. She did have security escort her to her car.
Didn't like the fit and feel of the Stow n Go, so a Summer Comfort is on the way.
When the wife got home, she said "hmmm, you have a bigger gun." I usually carry my little Ruger LCP. Told her my plans, she smiled and kissed me!!!!! Guess that was a good thing!
This is a great style of hostler. When I carry my Kahr this is the best holster I have found. I wish they made one that fit my Beretta.
If Galco makes a Summer Comfort for your Sig it is probably a good pick.
My biggest grudge with it it the loops of the snaps are obveous you are carrying if your belt is exposed.
Congrats! Did you call them to place your order? I usually speak with Bill (OldPadawan) when placing my orders. Both him and Mike have been very pleasant to deal with. I'm heard a lot of good things about the Summer Comfort. My next purchase will be a gun belt from Galco (if I can scrape up the cash with no job). Be sure to give us a review after you've had it for a little while. :smt023:watching:
Man o man! Got my holster and belt today, I'm a happy camper. Thanks to all here on the forum, to BeefyBeefo and Old Padawan (Bill).
I could not be more pleased. Yes, it all was several dollars more, but the quality is great. Tomorrow will be the test as to how comfortable the new setup is. My guess is, I'm gonna be happy!!!!!
I'll be very interested to hear what you think after you've worn them for a little while. I know everything I've gotten from them is very well made. My Side Snap Scabbard is gorgeous!

P.S. - Congrats. :smt023
