Hey guys,

I'd like to carry a full size SIG P226 or P229 and am having a hard time finding a quality jacket or leather jacket with a good CCW inside pocket that isn't just some large pouch.  What are you guys using and what do you like for a CCW jacket for a duty size gun?

OWB holster on a good belt under the jacket is usually how I roll. I guess  if you found a jacket with a large inside pocket you could stuff a G-Code Incog or a Compact Infadel in there and secure it with the belt clips.

Don't fall for that gimmicky crap. If you are going to carry a gun, do it proper and not in some stoopid pouch in a 'gun garment'. Just wear what you wear normally and the right holster will fit right in with that. Get a good belt and a good holster, or more than one for different carry types. A larger Sig like what you describe would be super lame to carry in a pocket of a jacket or vest.

This. Carry it on your body, IWB or OWB.

Jackets get left behind, get left on chair backs across the room, and drawing will never be as smooth as with a dedicated holster/belt rig.

The jacket option sucks as a holster. They droop noticeably to the side under the weight, and it is not comfortable. Just use a belt holster and let the jacket be a cover garment.

I also vote not for the jacket and avoid the IPSC shoot me vest as well. I was at the movies and a guy showed up wearing one . It screamed I have a gun

I wear an OWB holster on my belt for either a commander 1911 or the big S&W 1076 10mm.  Go inside, take the jacket off and OC while we're eating.  Being anal about absolute concealment is tiring.

Couple years ago I bought one of those Sig-Tac jackets that have an inner "pouch" on each side.  It will hold a normal sized pistol, but weighs the jacket down.  

The jacket is nice, and looks to be made by Carhartt.  I wore it a couple times around the house and played Travis Bickle in the mirror.  I can see limited scenarios where it may be a good method to carry, but I prefer to carry on the belt.  Still, its a nice casual jacket.
