Here is my problem I have a Sig 225 or p6 9mm. I have a fobus holster it does not counsel good. I wont some ideas on what to look at. It is not a pocket gun but I love my pistol. When I get my next one it will also be a Sig. If you have any ideas on holsters please let me know.

I like the IWB hybrid holsters (big leather sheet with Kydex rivited to it), the first two that come to mind would be Crossbreed's Supertuck (I have and love one for my PPS) or the Kholster. Do you have a good gunbelt, or are you trying to make a regular belt work?

Even the best IWB (inside waistband) holster will need something to support the weight and spread it out across your waist/hips. A stiff gunbelt does that, and as a bonus most people find it to be comfortable with or without a gun on their hip.
The best gun in the world in the best holster in the world will flop around and pull your pants down on one side if you don't get a serious belt or some other method of support. Some heavy-duty workbelts will do the job, but tend to look like something you'd find on a construction site. A number of leatherworkers make heavy-duty belts that actually look good, and there are web-belt style options as well (5.11 tactical, wilderness instructor's belt, etc etc). The cost of a decent gunbelt and holster is chump change compared to a pistol and ammo to gain proficiency, and yet I still see people trying to CC with a cardboard belt from Kmart/WM/Target and a $20 holster. Then they complain about how hard concealment is.
For good belts, look at places like CrossBreed (http://www.crossbreedholsters.com/GunBelts/tabid/58/CategoryID/3/List/0/Level/1/productid/3/Default.aspx?SortField=ProductName%2cProductName) (they make great IWB holsters too) and BeltMan (http://www.thebeltman.net/bh112.htm).
You can conceal a duty-size pistol like the Sig P6, but you will need to support the weight and hold it close to the body, unless you don't care about comfort or effective concealment.
