Sig 220 Carry Blackhawk SERPA fitting
I've got a 220 Carry Elite Dark on order from a local shop. I jumped the gun (no pun intended) and went ahead with ordering a SERPA 220/226 thinking it will be awesome to have something that will fit my existing 226 as well as the new 220 carry. Now, I've seen reports elsewhere that these fit the SERPA 229 holster without having extra space at the end of the holster. I've also seen that the 220 Carry will not fit at all in some holsters made for the 220/226. So I guess my question is has anybody tried a 220 Cart in both the 220/226 and 229 Blackhawk SERPA holsters? If so did they fit well and which do you prefer.
Let us hope for the best, but let us also prepare for the worst.

I don't know about the SERPA, but my 220 Carry & 229 fit in the same Safariland ALS & Raven Concealment holsters. The 226 holster will be around 3/4" longer than one for the 229, but the shorter 220 Carry should fit. You'll just have 3/4" extra space left over. Not a big deal!

Re: Sig 220 Carry Blackhawk SERPA fitting
To humor myself I've decided to go ahead and order the 229 SERPA as well. If the 220 Carry doesn't fit it will be a fantastic excuse to buy a 229. I'll update with my findings in case anybody else has the same question in the future.

Quick update for anybody ever wondering, both holsters fit well. Obviously the length of the 229 holster is more suited for the shortened slide

My 220 carry and my 229 fit in the same DiSantis and the same Don Hume holster.
Plastic Holsters like the SERPA are less forgiving obviously so dont be surprised if there are some tight areas etc.
