Things to Keep In Mind Shopping for Sig P250 Holster
When you’re shopping for a Sig P250 holster, there are a few things you’ll need to consider. We’ll go over a few of these things so you’ll have a better understanding of them. The answers to these questions will help you determine what kind of holster you need.
What’s Your Dominant Hand?
This is important because many holsters are not ambidextrous. When you’re shopping for a holster, especially online, you’ll need to be careful to select the proper right- or left-handed model. Even if you decide on a shoulder or ankle holster or one to use cross draw, the right- and left-hand sides will still matter.
What Are Your Local Gun Regulations?
It is your responsibility as a gun owner and carrier to follow all regulations regarding firearm carry, whether concealed or open. This applies not only to your city, county, and state, but also to those areas where you might be traveling.
If you cross boundary lines when going to and from work, you need to know what regulations apply to gun carry in all those locations, not just the one where you live.
What Kind of Clothing Do You Wear?
This makes a difference whether you’re going to carry concealed or open. Concealed carry means you’ll likely have to wear pants slightly bigger than your normal size to accommodate an inside the waistband (IWB) holster.
You might also decide to use larger t-shirts or button shirts (not tucked in) to help conceal your firearm. If you go with an ankle holster, skinny jeans won’t be appropriate. On the other hand, wearing a shoulder holster means you’ll need a jacket or sport coat to keep in concealed.
Will You Carry Concealed or Open?
Carrying concealed will mean you’ll likely want an inside the waistband (IWB) holster, or one of these following types:
- Shoulder Holster — you’ve probably seen these on cop shows. Often, they have spare magazine holders on the opposite side of the gun.
- Belly Band Holster — these are elastic or neoprene bands that wrap around the abdomen, with an elastic holster stitched into it.
- Ankle Holster — an ankle holster wraps around your ankle and sits under your pant leg.
If you want to carry openly, you’ll want to look for an outside the waistband (OWB) holster. These will either slip onto the waistband or have slots to slide onto a belt. With an exposed firearm you want to keep firearm security in mind.
Many outside the waistband (OWB) holsters come with some sort of retention feature (active or passive).
Sig p250 Holster Basics
Shopping for a holster, you might come across some unfamiliar terminology.
- Cant — this refers to the angle you’re carrying the gun.
- Ride — also known as height, this determines whether the holster is closer to your belly or closer to your thigh.
- Retention — this is how secure the firearm is inside the holster. Passive retention relies on the molding of the holster, and gives the user an audible ‘click’ when the holster is secure. Active retention depends on a strap that goes over the slide or grip, or a finger button to hold the gun in place.
- OWB — an acronym for outside the waistband.
- IWB — an acronym for inside the waistband.
What Are The Best Sig P250 Holsters?
So, we’ve talked about holsters in general, and you’re chafing at the bit to learn more about different models. Let’s go over some of the more popular holsters for your Sig P250. We’ll present the benefits as well as the disadvantages of each holster.
1. SERPA Concealment Holster by Blackhawk!
This is a molded polymer holster intended for outside the waistband (OWB) carry. It’s molded to fit specific model handguns and isn’t ambidextrous, so make sure you select the right one when ordering.
The Concealment Holster offers active retention. There is a button on the side that you use your trigger finger to release, and then the holster offers a quick, smooth draw. This makes it more difficult for an assailant to draw your firearm.
This holster is available in both right- and left-hand models, and comes with both a paddle and a belt assembly.
2. International Holster by Comp-Tac for Sig P250
This is a molded Kydex polymer outside the waistband (OWB) holster. It’s available in both right- and left-hand models, and is specifically molded for firearms, so make sure you select the correct one when ordering.
The International offers adjustment for cant (carry angle) and height and has interchangeable mounts. It also has an adjustment screw for the retention, so you can set it for the perfect draw.
This International holster by Comp-Tac is approved for use in the International Defensive Pistol Association (in some configurations) and the United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA).
This holster is made of Kydex polymer, and some shooters claim that Kydex has a reputation for scratching or marring the finish of the firearm.
3. Kydex OWB Holster by Outlaw Holsters
This is a molded Kydex polymer outside the waistband (OWB) holster with closed belt slots. It’s available in both right- and left-hand models, and is specific to the firearm, even to the subcompact and the P250 with or without rail. Use caution when ordering to ensure you get the right one.
This holster has an optional paddle assembly or leather belt slots (both sold separately). It doesn’t have any retention features other than the molding of the holster. The retention doesn’t seem to be adjustable. There is no adjustment for cant (carry angle) or ride height.
4. MTAC Holster by Comp-Tac
This is an outside the waistband (OWB) hybrid holster combining a leather backing with a molded Kydex shell. This holster is similar to the Alien Gear holster (see YouTube video above).
It’s available in both right- and left-hand models, and is specific to the firearm. Make sure you select the correct caliber of your pistol when you order.
The Kydex shell is interchangeable with other skins (sold separately) to accommodate different firearms. The retention of the shell is adjustable, and you can also customize the cant (carry angle) and ride height. The belt clips can also be replaced for different belt widths (sold separately).
5. SP11B Black Paddle Holster by Fobus
This is a polymer outside the waistband (OWB) holster that is form-fitting to a variety of pistols. It gives you passive retention which is adjustable to the perfect fit and draw. It has a flat profile to aid in concealment.
The paddle on the back of this holster is coated in rubber to increase friction against your clothing or skin, helping to keep the holster in place. When the firearm is securely holstered, you should hear an audible ‘click’.
The SP11B is for right-hand only, so keep that in mind when you order. It doesn’t offer adjustments for ride height or cant (carry angle).

Great article. I’m a skinny guy so I found the #3 holster does not fit my pockets which are too small but the #2 does and it still covers the trigger. I suggest testing out at a local gun shop if they carry pocket holsters. Now if I could only gain some weight so I could fit the 938 with the extended mag in my pockets….
Very informative article! I am rather new to gun ownership, and chose the 938 because of the compact size and power for my carry weapon. I bought it second hand, and it came with a clip holster, which I don’t particularly like. I was searching for a good article detailing pocket holsters, and found this gem. After following up at the Remora website, I decided to order the #3b. They even threw in a mag holder free of charge! I hope this holster is as great as advertised!
What do you know about the Boraii II Pocket holster? Looks good to me, but I’m still learning to
shoot my Sig P938. It seems to be a durable one, not too bulky either. What’s your thought on
it?
Question: does the holster cover the two thumb safeties ? I’m looking for a pocket holster that does
