I have a 1990 proofed P226, with the usual W. German thin bluing.

Can anyone recommend a good lined OWB holster?

This leather maker offers smooth leather inside with rough side out. Not sure about suede if that's what you're looking for. His prices are reasonable and his turn around time is relatively quick compared to most.

I know Gary at Brommeland gun leather will make you shat your looking for.

I bought a nice brown leather holster last year from someplace but can't for the life of me remember the name... but it dresses up my P226 Legion sweet..



here's what's stamped on the back:

 
Sam Andrews will make exactly what you are looking for. My last order took about 8 weeks to completion. He does beautiful custom work.
 
Andrews Leather.

I will second both Andrews Leather and T&T. For myself almost all my EDC's reside in T&T however they are IWB. That said they are VMII clones that are slightly lighter with a IMO better cant. The owner will stand behind his product all the time,

Garrett Industries makes some beautiful leather lined holsters. Take a look at their site.
Good luck in your search.

RGrizzle Leather. Bought an IWB for my P229 Legion about three years ago and couldn't be happier.

For a lined holster I like High Noon Holsters

 
I just checked the Andrews Leather Store site, and he has some OWB lined holsters for the P226 already made up for immediate sale.
 
Andrews Leather Store.

Already mentioned above - I'll just echo either Andrews or RGrizzle products. I have a lot of both and am very satisfied.

Take a look at www.WildBillsconcealment.com and www.garritysgunleather.com. They make great leather holsters.

Check out Tucker Gunleather. I own several of these for OWB. They hold tight to your body, provide great grip access and draw angle. You can have them made lined or unlined, tooled or plain like the ones I buy. Get on their mailing list and wait for the sale.

One opinion re lining https://youtu.be/dMnHzhOeqf4.

I have used simply rugged and mitch rosen (who sig also OEM's) and been happy with both. But this is a pretty personal area so you need to find someone to build what you want exactly. good luck.

I use a Galco Askins Avenger for my 226.

Another plug here for Sam Andrews. He does excellent work. He's a gun guy, through and through, and has a real passion for his work. Give him a call and talk to him about what you're looking for, you'll see what I mean. He's an exceedingly nice guy and very pleasant.

I just talked to him today to order up a mid-ride type scabbard holster for the 6" Colt Python that's on its way to me. He's adding some nice touches that you'll probably be interested in, like a suede lining and a thumb break.

Did "Wildbill" ever get his shit together, and start making holsters on a more "timely" basis? He used to be a real crapshoot as far as dependability on delivery was concerned.
