I am a diehard user of the P226 and 220 SAO's with an optic and WML.
Try as I may I cannot find a duty level 1 holster from Safariland
Anybody have any help on a fit?

I have other Safariland holsters and my duty belt is setup for the QLS so I don't want to change platforms if possible.

Legacy Firearms is the answer to your question sir, that's what I got for my Legion 226 SAO with TLR-1HL.

Can you tell me what model you ordered please,?

Here is what I ordered:

LIGHT BEARING KRAKEN QLS FORK HOLSTER (OWB )
(Firearm: SIG P226 LEGION SAO 9mm, Weapon Mounted Light: STREAMLIGHT TLR1 HL, Orientation: Right Handed Draw, Choose Sweat Guard Coverage: Mid Sweat Guard Body Side Only (Most Common), Color: Dutch Woodland (+$20), Finish Washer Color: Black Metal, Threaded Barrel? No, Suppressor Height Sights? No, Optic Cut? None, Enlarged Opening for Reholstering: No (Most Common), Add Turbo Retention Adjuster? Standard Screw Retention Adjustment, Add Black Magazine Carrier: No Thank You, Add Vibra-Tite VC-3 1ml Threadlocker? No, LEAD TIME AGREEMENT: Yes, Order Changes: Yes, Rush Order: No (15-20 Business Day Lead Time))

You would need their "Alpha" holster if you want duty style retention:

Hey thanks for info.
Unfortunately, they dont offer the P226 SAO with an optic.
Back to searching.

The Safariland for P320 works with the P226 SAO with RDS and WML fine here’s the model I use for my P226SAO with RDS and Surefire x300 light:

MODEL6360RDS
SKU1207976
PART6360RDS-4502-131

Link: https://safariland.com/collect...olster-model_6360rds

Has ALS/SLS retention

Hk,
Thx for that.
I did find the Safariland holster finder basically useless for P226 fitment.

Looks like the 6390 (P320) is the same config. and a level 1 ALS only, which is exactly what I need.
I've got one ordered and on the way.
With all the 320 nonsense, this was pretty dang inexpensive.
Thx again

RDR Gear modifies Safariland duty holsters. I believe they have a holster for the 226 SAO

Absolutely, holster finder is good for nothing.

Glad you found it, let me know how it works with the ALS only model, as I think I’ll be getting that one next. Agreed, price for peace of mind and safariland quality is priceless for a quality retention holster. Let me know how it goes for you, cheers

Yup, RDR is who I went through. P226R SAO Legion with RDS and Surefire X300U - had it a couple years now and it's perfect other than I added a NubMod to the thumb release from OTDefense.
