P-01 holster chart

[goishi]

Could we have a sticky for this please?  Finding a holster for the P01 is such a pain, and this is the only decent database of holsters that fit it.

The store that sold me my P01 had no holsters, so a quick trip to my favorite gun store netted me a very comfortable DeSantis "Cozy Partner" model 028 to fit a Sig 226. (The holster is labeled "028 M9") The fit, holding power and protection for the gun is excellent. This is a closed end, inside the belt, adjustable pinch, leather holster that is extremely comfortable and very well made.

My only complaint about the design is the DeSantis method of belt retention involves 2 leather straps, rather than the more common metal clip. These loose straps go under the belt (at the same time you are sliding the holster inside the rear of your pants), then the loops fold around the outside of the belt and snap back at the top. It is very hard to install without almost getting dressed with the holster. So much so that for a quick 45 min walk with my wife I usually use another holster. However, for any wear longer than 2 hours the comfort is well worth it.

This is definitely all-day on-duty cop gear, not casual wear.





Addendum
In finding this holster the clerk and I went through maybe 30 holsters. On form-fitting holsters we noted that you must only consider holsters for full rail, mid-sized, auto-loaders. The Sig 226 and Glock slide release levers are flush stampings, so their kydex types won't work with the P01's protruding slide release, but some leather holsters for the 226 will. You simply have to try.

The Fabos RU-97 works well.
It's a little longer than the Fabos HK-1.
I have no problems, even with the Crimson Laser Grips.
Not too bad for plastic.

If you want an inexpensive inside-the-waist-band holster, try the Uncle Mike's Sidekick "Inside the Pants" with Velcro retention (size #15). Make sure to buy the one with retention. The non-retention version sits the gun up higher and I find myself touch checking the gun far too often. The retention version is safe and secure and gives peace of mind. I like wearing it at the small of the back where it is comfortable for standing and walking, but makes me sit bolt upright in the car.

The outside lower corners of the holster's plastic clip are sharp and will rub upholstery. I filed the sharp corners to a smooth blunt edge. Don't know why Uncle Mike's sells them with sharp corners. They should have picked up on that trait with field testing.

I made a correction.  It is size #15 that you want for the P01.

Thanks for the info and all the pics. I'm really interested in the Galco M5X Matrix, seems to be really good for the price. Can we get this stickied? This is a fantastic reference! Anyone have any experience with the Bianchi 7001? Looks like a good no-nonsense holster, as I do not have my CCW permit yet, I will be carrying open- if at all (mostly hiking and out and about during the weekend). Any thoughts on this particular holster?

The Bianchi 7001 is a good holster. I use one similiar (only with the duty-belt attachment) for my dept. issued SIG 226 when I'm at the range. As with most holsters, one sized for the Glock 19 or Sig 226/229 should work, but I can't guarantee it will. I can definitely recommend the M5X. stdlrf11

Good to know - the only hesitation I have with the M5X is that it is retained by friction.  I think I would rather trust a retention strap.  I dunno.  Guess I'll have to try it out at my local gun shop when my P0-1 gets here.

+1 for the M5X!



And much thanks to wlchase and others who helped convince me to give it a try.

I couldn't dump my Fobus HK1 fast enough after getting the Galco. Would still like to get a leather IWB at some point, but for now, the M5X is all I need and then some. Definitely give one a try if you get a chance.

You don't ever want to get a closed end holster, they are an outdated design. Dirt builds up at the bottom, going into the barrel. The main problem is that moisture builds up from sweat, causing the weapon to rust over time.

[Dahwg-czechpistols82792]

My M5X is on the way as well.

I've found a great little holster for my P-01. It's a Gould & Goodrich (G&G) Gold Line Yaqui Slide Holster Model B801-G20. It's designed for either a Glock, HK, Ruger and/or a Sig with a rail. My P-01 fits snug as a bug after tightening the retention screws a little bit. I purchased the holster from GT Distributors (www.gtdist.com) in Austin, Texas for $28.95.
