Who carries a Sig P226?

I have 1911s with better triggers, but that's a different beast.

True enough...

I just received my P226 mk25. I think I can carry it. It depend on which holster you choose for your pistol.

You got it. Belt and holster are incredibly important when you go to carry a heavy, full size gun

Speaking of heavy . . .

The all stainless P226 (discontinued) is freakin' heavy.

I sure liked mine, back in the day before Glocks came out, now it sits in the safe, but.....I would not hesitate to carry it if I had to.

Exactly! Great gun and totally doable especially in cooler weather with even light clothing layers.

I handled one of these at Midwest close to a year ago that they had. It was a solid feeling pistol. He gave me the sales push but I decided I didn't need it. I still have regrets occasionally.

It's one of the best shooters I've encountered. The weight makes recoil almost negligible.

I got it used at a short trigger and SRT trigger group had already been installed. It was okay then, but then I had my brother install the E2 grip on it to help me reach the trigger. That was a success, but an unexpected benefit is that the mainspring in the E2 grip made the trigger pull lighter and smoother in double action. Win-win!

Have any of you used the alien gear holster for the P226? Any recommendations on a holster for it?

Never used a Alien Gear holster for anything. I carry mine in a Galco Concealable, for atleast the last 10 years

I don't like the hybrid holster. I use a Red Nichols avenger style for OWB and a blade tech for IWB.
