Any thoughts on this for a non-railed P226?
I have a P226 with no rail, which I gather they don't make anymore, so holsters seem to be a little thin on the ground. (And it's a .40).

Disregard. I came here right after the Garrity thread, and I thought you were talking of his holster of the same name.
I will add that I have two railed holsters that I am using with non-railed guns. They both work very well without issue. I have a JM Custom for a Beretta Centurion (railed) in which my non railed 92 Compact is held quite securely. I also have a Sparks VM2 for a railed EDC X9 that I use with my non railed EDC X9. As long as the slide is the same between the railed and non railed models, in my experience a well fit holster will secure the non railed model just fine. FWIW.
I can’t be certain where I saw it, but I did see a belly-side-up side-by-side comparison between a railed and a non-railed P226. There is a difference in the distance from the front of the trigger guard to the muzzle. It looked to be enough to mess with the fitment of a kydex holster. I’m not going to place a bet on it working.

I have a holster from Eclipse Holsters for an old W German p228. It was hard finding one that fit due to slight variations in slide width and trigger guard. I actually had to return holsters to two other makers that did not fit properly before finding this one. They do list 226 on the site in a couple different versions. They were very responsive to an email question as well. Not the slimmest holster around, but well made. May be worth a look…
Depending on the gun, this may be valid. Sigs can be a pain sometimes. Ours will fit most, but not all, and railed models will allow non-railed models just fine.
The holster linked is very no frills, but appears to be sound in construction. If there were other options that allowed for bottom mount attachments, or you went to loops, I think it'd be better, but depending on the age of the gun, you may be limited in choices.
