I've got a Sig 226 and am looking for a IDPA legal holster, in leather, without a thumb strap. I've decided I might give the Galco Concealable model a try.

While looking at specs I noticed that Galco also makes the same model holster, which fits a Sig 228, as well as a CZ P01. I have recently become enamored of the CZ, and may well buy one soon.

My question is... is it possible, and would it make any sense, to by the holster for the smaller guns, and use it for the 226 as well? As far as I know the only profile difference in the 228 and 226 is barrel length, and this holster looks like it has an open end, so the longer gun would just protrude a little. True? Would the front sight on the 226 be able to get snagged when drawing from the smaller holster?
 
I did that ...

I had a SIG 228 and I bought a Kydex paddle holster for it. I tried my P01 in it and it fit, but not perfectly. It is about 95% secure. Perfect for IDPA or range, but not for daily carry. I bought a leather holster for the P01 and used it for the 228 also.

I would be willing to bet that any open ended kydex fr a 226 would work for you and most leather OWB.
