Just purchased a Sig Sauer p226 in 9mm today. It's my first pistol, and I wanted a good one. Fits me great as far as grips and balance but seems a bit large for a concealed carry, but I imagine I could make do. Does anyone else have said pistol? Can you recommend a way for concealed carry?

Haven't shot it yet but will when time permits.

I got one last summer. It's my first 9mm and my first DA/SA pistol. Like it so much, I bought a P220 to go with it this past weekend!

Yup, it's a bit large, but I carry it in a DeSantis skeleton holster under a shirt worn untucked and haven't been outed yet. That'll be a problem as Summer and lighter clothing come along, but that'd be true of any large frame pistol.

Almost got the p220 but opted for the p226 due to a price difference of nearly 400 bucks. The one I bought is a factory refurbished one, and I think I got a good price on it @ 597 for it and a box of ammo out the door. I hope I don't start collecting pistols like I have rifles. Own 2 shotguns and 9 rifles that honestly I can't say I need. The ones I bought I did because I thought they were cheap priced. Can't wait to shoot it.

They ARE a little proud of new P220s , aren't they?

I got mine used from a private owner. Doesn't look like it's been shot much.

I hear ya on the collecting. This last 3-4 years have been the first time in a VERY long time I've had any "fun money" available, and I'm making up for lost time, both long guns and handguns. Didn't even realize I needed another .45 until I got that P226 and realized how handy DA is.

My stash of reloading equipment and supplies hasn't suffered any either...
