Which Sig for Concealed Carry?

Greetings All,

I am a Sig fanatic who just recently turned 21. The logical next step in my life is, obviously, to obtain a concealed carry permit and begin utilizing it. I LOVE the 220, 226, and the 229 (all of which I have shot in varying calibers) but am unsure about which one I should purchase as a CCW. I'll be honest, I am biased in favor of the .45 220 but have never attempted stuffing it down my pants and keeping it there for several hours. Thoughts???

Just to give a little background, I'm 6'6", 250 lbs, and live in Seattle where layered clothing is a way of life.

Thanks!

Hi guys.. Yeah I haven't been in for a while. I was considering the same question actually.
The 250's seem to be hitting the market with steam.. I know I'd love a 239 for a carry piece, but looking for opinions on 250 subs. As much as I love my XD45C... I'm thinking it's just going to be too much bulk for typical daily carry.

I purchased a P250 Subcompact for conceal carry. I love the gun, but am waiting on a holster for it. When I started looking for holsters I found that nobody really makes them. I am having one made, so as far as actually carrying the gun I can't yet say, but it's acurate at the range and a lot of fun to shoot!!

The only Sig I would think of ever using for a CCW would be the P238, doesn't have a ton of knock down but its small and goes bang if you need it to. I love my sigs but they are no where near a good conceal carry weapon. They shoot accurate, reliable, love to shoot them but they are fat and over sized to carry in anything else than a side holster.

Can you carry them?? yes, will you carry it daily if its not comfortable?? No. Therefore get something that you will keep at your side at all times, not something that you will just carry every now and then.

Depending on how and when you intend to carry, the 239 would be one the the best choices for overall ease of carry. I currently have a P225, which is also the single stack mag, and it's great, due to the slim profile.
I'm a fan of all SIGS, but especially the single stack non railed models .... :smt023

I am a Sig guy as well. I have not looked at the P225, but got my two tone 239 about a month ago. I am going to put the Hogue rubber finger grips on it. I have the Hogue aluminum on it now and like it fine, but want to try out the rubber for the 239. Since my hands are on the big size the rubber grips may offer a better fit for me. My only concern is how the grip will respond to the holster. I still have about 6 weeks before I can legally carry so I can do some home trials with it to see.

I just picked up a P6/225 for $400 at the gun show this weekend. It's a little rough looking but for the price figured I'd give it a chance. In terms of feel and balance I like it a lot. If it proves to be a shooter then it would be worth having the slide refinished I think.
The P6's are great shooters but you did get bit a little on price cause they are selling on J&G for around 329. Mine is one of the best shooters I have ; I get tighter groups with it than any of my other pistols. To the original poster I carry a 229R everyday. You should consider a quality holster and belt for any pistol you are considering that will make a big difference in how they carry.
