A molded thermoplastic sheath designed for secure and discreet carriage of the SIG P210 pistol, this specific type of holster is favored for its durability, slim profile, and adjustability for cant and retention. It’s typically constructed from thin, heated Kydex sheets formed precisely around the firearm’s contours.
This form-fitting design offers several advantages for concealed carry, including minimal printing through clothing and a fast, consistent draw. The rigid material protects the pistol from external elements and prevents accidental activation of safeties or the trigger. Historically, leather holsters dominated the market. However, advancements in polymer science led to the development of Kydex, which offers superior performance in terms of retention, durability, and resistance to moisture and wear. This makes Kydex holsters a popular choice among those seeking a reliable and low-maintenance carry solution for a premium firearm like the SIG P210.
