I'm still waiting for my plastic but have narrowed my first carry gun options down to a few; one being the Sig P232 .380 Two-Tone. I know the .380 caliber isn't the most recommended cartridge for carry, but the guns size and reliability make up for that in my mind. I own full size revolvers, Glock 17 and 5" Springfield .45, but I worry those are just too large for me to carry.

Anyway, I'm searching for holster options now for the P232 and was hoping some of you may have pictures/links to your preferred methods. I usually have an untucked shirt so I guess I can do OWB or IWB.

What say you experts?

My mom carries the 232. She likes cross draw holsters. Her most recent is the DeSantis "Tuck This". She likes it, but I don't. Try the big names like DeSantis, Galco, Safariland, Bianchi and see if you find something off the shelf that you like. If not, try some of the customs, or lower volume producers. I've seen some Comp-Tac stuff that looks great, but I don't know if there's much request for them to do one for a 232 so I don't know what your wait time would be. There are some people in here with some pretty sweet custom leather. Check out LT's newest, it's VERY nice. On the DeSantis and Galco sites, I know you can search by gun model. Maybe you can do that on some of the others too. Good luck.

Here's a photo of three holsters I have for the P232. There is a leather Galco IWB (right side of picture, which I don't use -- if I go IWB, I carry something more potent), a High Noon pocket holster on the left side of the picture (not good for a DA/SA -- hammer gets caught on pocket) and a kydex one I made that guards the hammer. Also included is the magazine holder I made from one piece of kydex and a home-grown rig for the Colt Double Eagle.

My wife carries hers in a C-TAC Pro Undercover holster. Its IWB and she likes it. Pretty cheap too at $50 and it arrived within a week.

I just bought a Fobus G3 paddle holster from Cheaperthandirt.com for P230 and P232's as well as Kel-Tec P3AT's.

I like it, give 'em a look.
