Does the p226 combat fit normal 226 holsters?

Answer 1

Yes, as long as the holster you have will fit a P226R (newer model w/ picatinny rail). The difference between the P226R (standard) and P226R combat is that the combat has an alloy frame, short reset trigger (resets in 1/8" inch for high speed shooting) and has the short trigger (which is MUCH nicer, esp. if you have small hands). The combat is available in dark earth and also has the option of the threaded barrel, IF you get the threaded barrel you just have to make sure your using a holster capable of handling a full 5" barrel instead of a 4.4" barrel as the threads add approx. 1/2" to the OAL. I'm not aware of any holsters that can handle a 4.4" barrel but not a 5", usually on holsters that are NOT gun specific they will handle "any large frame auto or revolver" and both lengths would be covered. Hope this helps!!!
