Hi guys,

the family airsoft arsenal recently got a new addition of a WE f226, i was just wondering if anyone had any info on holsters, we where thinking a sperpa holster as that's what we use for all other pistols, but as it is WE and it isnt the usual p226 shape as the top slide is a bit smaller at the front, will it fit in a p226 serpa holster?

Thanks for any help :)

 
I just watched a youtube video a few hours ago comparing the different P226's and they said that it does not fit in a P226 molded holster. It wasn't a serpa but I suspect its fair to say it probably wont fit in that either. The We might be there in weight and metal but dimension wise its a bit different to the real gun. The TM did fit the P226 holster but also had the worst blow back.

 
I had a WE 226 for a while before I dropped it into a waterlogged ditch and it was never seen again. However I can confirm 100% it won't fit in a SERPA.

what about with some filing to the serpa on the inside?

 
You'd have to do some serious filing, more like dremelling to get it to fit. Better to get a side-armor holster or one that isn't made of plastic.

i cant stand non molded holsters? apparently it is an f229 according to the side of it, if any company makes holsters for it?

You could try a Fobus. I think they might be a little more adjustable.

 
Or have a kydex one made, wouldn't be much more expensive than a serpa.

 
It won't fit. But i just took a dremel to mine and works a charm now :)

 
I've got a we SIG 226 and got a serpa drop leg replica from China off eBay......it was a little tight at first but with a dash of silicon lubricant and an evenings gaming,it fits like a glove☺

I got a CQC Serpa for my WE F226 and like people say it didn't fit properly - however....I put mine in the oven (just the holster - I removed the carrier etc). for about 10 mins. I think I started at a lowish temp and didn't work but I increased the temp by 10 degrees and tried again. I think the third go softened the plastic enough without melting anything, just enought to allow me for force the gun to seat properly after which I let it cool in position (though I seated/pulled it out a few times straight away to ensure it didn't stick.

I "think" the final temperature was 120-140 degrees - but do so with caution and at your own risk. It now works great thoughoug

I know some players just do this with boiling water, although I don't know how easy it is to do lol. But its an alternative way.

 
I have a WE F226R that I use with one of two holsters - a Safariland GLS, and the serpa-style Nuprol F226 Series holster. I had to file down the catch a tiny bit on the nuprol, and the GLS is the Wide Long size and it fits and holds just fine.
