Is SIG P226 too large to conceal carry?

[JDGray]

No not too large. IWB is how i would carry.

Thats if you could

 

[Robbins290]

you could. but lugging a pistol that heavy can get uncormfortable.

I prefer a glock subcompact. I carry the 30sf. it's lighter then my full size duty guns. with 11 rounds of 45 is more then enough firepower.

just my .02

For me, yep. I think I would have a hard time carrying and concealing a P-226.

The poor guy I quoted is from Chicago

 

[Dean1818]

I had one, but it was WAY to big to CCW IWB

IMHO


If you like the action try a P239........ Awesome pistol in the right holster

im from maine? i dont get it. il a little slow

 

[ZeSpectre]

Other than the criminals and the politicians (but I repeat myself) you really can't carry in Chicago.

 

[TimeRegained]

Your question is too vague.

Narrow down the scope.

Are you 6'2" or 5'6"?

135 lbs or 240 lbs?

Do you generally wear t-shirts all day?

See what I'm getting at.

I have and use a Sig P226 and having one I know that you can conceal it, no doubt, but it depends on certain factors.

I carry a SIG P220 or P226 IWB at 4 o'clock in a Tommy Theis holster. I carry either of the SIG's primarily during the winter months, but carrying during the summer is doable with cargo shorts and an un-tucked t shirt.

 

[JohnBiltz]

I could carry it, I just would not want to. I'd have to move it off of my 3:00 more to 5 because the magazine length would print on me and I really don't want to carry anywhere a fall could hurt me a lot. I also think it would get old carrying anything that heavy. Nice gun but its big and heavy.

 

[coalman]

It's a huge gun for a CCW. Dress around the gun, select a heavy gun belt, use a quality winged holster, be ready to tolerate some discomfort and you'll be fine.

I am 5'10" and 195lbs. , my P220 is perfect for me. If I am wearing an untucked tee shirt I opt for an OWB Fobus Paddle holster. My IWB was custom made by a local in my area and is comfortable to wear. I have only been called out once on my pistol. It was by a deputy at a local store, and I was carrying it OWB. He and I are friends and he has been well aware that I go NOWHERE without my Sig, laws providing.

I'm a short guy and I can hide a Glock 21. A compact is just easier to deal with, but you can hide the larger guns if you want to.

I carry a SIG 220 Carry pistol in a Galco "King Tuck" iwb holster comfortably and well-concealed most of the time (admittedly, this set-up doesn't work that well on the beach, but I have a Ruger LCP for those occasions).
