KJW P226 vs Blackhawk Serpa CQC

[julesbloke]

I have gotten myself a KJW P226 full metal pistol that shoots fantastically. I have a few pistols now, and prefer Blackhawk CQC holsters so I bought one for the P226. Unfortunately it's doesn't fit. The holster is for "Sig Sauer 220/226" but the slide on the pistol itself is too wide and it won't slide all the way in. I was under the impression that the KJW is pretty much spot on for the real deal as they also make the Sig Sauer training versions? I'm a bit baffled as to why it won't fit - I have CQC holsters for my P99, PX4 and HK45 and they all fit perfectly!

Anyone come across this? Have I bought the wrong holster? If so, what one do I need? Or can you recommend a similar one (Fobus/IMI) that will fit? Cheers.

If its legit Blackhawk gear the KJW is too wide , like the TM Glocks , you'll meed to dremel or file down a bit of the holster until it fits snug. Pretty comkn issue with non 1:1 replica pistols .

IMI holsters fit the KJW P226 perfectly.

Thanks. Yeah - it's a genuine Blackhawk. Will look at the IMI version instead!

Go with the IMI.

Ill be using them over Blackhawk holsters all the time now. A lot better design for mounting

My KJW 226 fits in my Blackhawk holster no problem? Does blackhawk gear get ripped off a lot then?
