I have two holsters that I use for my 1988 (?) made West German SIG/SAUER P226, either of which might suit the OP's needs.

The first one is an Austrian made Sickinger, the type formerly used by the West German GSG9 anti-terrorist forces. I understand the GSG9 no longer uses P226 pistols. I like the built-in sight channel, and how the retaining strap can be opened by simply pinching together the leather tabs above it. I don't know if this holster is still available or not, but anything similar should be fine.

The other holster is one of my own design and manufacture, with a thick leather slide, and the holster pocket itself made out of thinner, molded leather, which makes the whole thing very comfortable to wear. This holster holds the gun very securely, with no retention strap needed.

No kydex for me, please. Ever. Unless it would be for a plastic gun (I don't own any).

PS: The gun was fully loaded at all times during the photo shoot, just as I like it to be.
