Carry the biggest gun you can conceal.

The average person is oblivious, and in time you'll not be so self conscious. I carry a USP 9.

i do it- and no one knows- i think....

i use a wilderness tactical belt and a CTAC holster- works well, it can tend to itch though if the grip texture is in contact with my skin at all.

Sure..why not? They're great guns.

the 226 is a big, blocky brick of a sidearm, and a bitch for CCW unless it's winter and you use a shoulder holster. Having said that, I CCW mine in a shoulder rig for most o f the winter. 15 rounds is VERY comforting.

When I carry it, it goes in a Bianchi model 100 holster. But the 228/229 is a bit more concealable, and you only lose two rounds, so I tend to just carry the 229R.

ETA: Ops, get yourself a few of the 'new' Mec-Gar mags. 17rd mags for the 226, 15 rd mags for the 228/229 (9mm).

I guess need to get a shoulder holster then, as it's hard to keep my britches up

Gun show next weekend, maybe I should look for one. Any suggestions?

Sig 226 is one of the pistols I carry year round. I don't think it is all that heavy nor large.

I carried one for +5 years in Seattle, 'course I'm 6'4" and 240 now 260. I carried mine in front of my right hip, usually. Concealed well for me.

Sigs are great guns and the P-226 is one of their best, IMO.

I've carried a 226 and a 220 before in a Galco Miami Classic- course my friend used to call me "Crockett" when I did. The 220 is a little easier to conceal since it's thinner.

My P226 is my house gun. Too much stuff on it for CCW. I usually carry one of my P220s'. Summer carry is my P228.

Not the easiest to conceal, but a QUALITY holster on a quality GUNBELT that fits the holster tight and you wont have much trouble making it disappear.
