Does anyone know of ANYBODY that is making holster for the Sig ultra compact 1911? I have tried just about every manufacturer out there and can't find one. I am looking for both IWB and OWB. Please help!!!!
I have talked to quite a few (tt gun leather, bromeland, etc) and have been told they don't make anything for that model. I was also told that a standard 3" 1911 holster will not work because the slide on the sig is slightly wider. Not sure if that's true or not. I really want something custom that really and truly fits like a glove.
There's some truth to that, I won't say that Tim or Gary are wrong, but the leather can break in around the slide and it will fit, just not like the proverbial glove...
Kramer lists the Sig Ultra, and you might give Alessi a call, I don't see the Ultra listed, but they might be able to get a hold of something.
We've maintained an FFL for over 30 years now, for the express purpose of a customer being able to send us their uncommon firearms for custom fitting. Unfortunately, it is no longer cheap to ship a hand held firearm as the major carriers now require a Next Day Air service for that purpose. Custom fitting is still an option with us (except for handguns with plastic frames), but the customer is required to pick up the shipping tab both to and fro. The round trip shipping can cost anywhere from $100 to $175 over the cost of the holster depending on where the customer lives and how much the weapon is insured for.
We've been working through a contact trying to obtain a blemished or non-functional model from Sig for some time now, but thus far no luck. Sometimes I wonder if the firearm manufacturers even care if the customer is able to carry these guns once they're sold from their inventory. It would cost them nothing to have a gun sand casted and made available to holster makers at their cost. I don't know how many times we've gotten calls from customers whose gun purchases were soley dependant on whether we had access to a specific gun for fitting or not.

Been there done that. :yup: I ordered by VMII for my P30 before I even bought the gun, reason I didn't buy a P30L? Not able to get a VMII for it at the time, not sure if that's changed yet.
Just ordered a compact undercover from Kirkpatrick. They we sip nice on the phone and said they could make it no problem. Really looking forward to seeing it. I will post pics when it gets here.
I just placed an order with Eric Larsen (HBE) and saw 3" 1911s on his list.
He got right back to me and has been pretty patient with my numerous changes (I know what I want even when I don't) so it might be worth giving him a call. Can't review the work yet but I understand it to be excellent.
Keep in mind the Sig Ultra has a 3.3" barrel, a 3.5" 1911 holster would be a better fit. I have made a couple of holsters for it that way and they fit fine.
They list out the Sig 1911's in all the various lengths, for almost all of their holsters except for the ones with a thumb break. I ordered a OWB first as that's what I prefer, but next spring will probably order an IWB for summer carry.
They're a little on the pricey side maybe, but I figure if they're good quality and American made, I don't mind paying a little more if it's exactly what I am looking for, and in this case it was.
i have research and found that Falco Custom Holsters are currently custom making holsters for the Sig 3.3 Ultra Compact, and at a reasonable price also, i haven't seen the finished product, but they will show you on the web site what your purchasing. Good luck..

I can vouch for the Craftmenship of Falco Holsters. I have one for my PX4 Storm Subcompact and it's is made perfectly, amazing "like a glove" fit. I'm sure it would be the same for the Sig Ultra's. (which i just placed an order for an ultra nitron myself, yaaaaaaaaaay, so excited haha) but Falco holsters are DEF. high quality, and comfortable. Love mine for my PX4 and will probably order another one for my 1911 ultra as soon as it gets here.
I have a Sig C3 which is very similar to your gun (the C3 slide is longer to accommodate a 4.25" barrel). My Galco holsters for "regular" or "classic" styled 1911's work as do the the CompTac 1911 holsters.
Just picked up a iwb holster from cross-breed dealer...the holster that fits the p290 fits beautifully mine is a mini tuck so the super would work great too
I had previously purchased a Crossbreed for my Glock but it took 9 weeks to show up. The holster from Tommy Theis is specifically molded on the Sig Sauer and showed up in exactly 2 weeks. I couldn't be happier with it.
That is the problem with Sig 1911s. They are perceived as too rare by most holster manufacturers to tool up to make. I bought a MTAC for a 1911 and it did not work well for my RCS. I ended up with a Kimber 1911 Ultra carry and it works well. Leather holsters that are not real custom fit work the best. Something like a carry-loc by Bianchi work best. I also had a custom made holster built that was cheaper than buying one.
N82 Tactical makes a custom fit kydex professional IWB that is both functional and comfortable. Perfect fit with a positive locking mechanism for the Ultra. It also works with the Sig full size 1911 even with the extra 2 inches of barrel length.
Very nice. I've been looking for an OWB for my Ultra, and this looks like a leading candidate. IWB is still my N82 Tactical Pro.
