Title says it all. I'm sure there are quite a few over the years but I'm curious if any are notable or standard. Have a great night!

They are like every SF unit. COTS. There's a lot of latitude in gear selection for group/team guys.

And no, I'm not a frogman.

ETA....Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS).

There might be one but I bet it's users choice. I know Safariland makes some good ones.

I'm sure the bianchi M12 was used for a while, it works. More modern version would be something from Safariland, I'd guess. But it is a guess. Perhaps google some SEAL images and hope to find one with a chest rig and a P226 in it.

About 10 years ago I bought a couple used Safariland 6004s for 226s equipped with Surefire weaponslights (classic and Nitrolon versions) from a guy on a Sig board who ended up being a SEAL. He left a shipping label with his name and unit address on a box he'd reused to send one of the holsters.

The SEALs I saw in Afghanistan in early 2002 used the Safariland 6004 as well. At this time, even their staff officers carried them. My task force was SEAL led (Harward).

Thanks! I'll check it out.

So what did the rail-less Sigs use? The Bianchi?

The Safariland 6004s I bought were for rail-less Sigs. Surefire made adapters ala the Classic/ Nitrolon/military series weaponlights.
I'd be willing to guess before the SEALs were using weaponslights as a standard item, they were using Safariland 6004s.

6004 is also made for guns without rails.
