Tomorrow I am going to order an Alessi CQC/S holster for my Sig 220. They sound like just what I am looking for.

I want it for basic carry and concealment. Anyone else own one of these? If so what are your impressions as far as comfort/concealment? Thanks!

I've got one and like it quite a bit. Fit and finish is outstanding and Alessi holsters hold up well. I just don't carry my 220 that often. If I do, that is the holster I use.
I should have mentioned that they don't conceal at all unless you have a jacket on or your shirttail out. In that case, it works great.

Thanks for the feedback. Its going to be pretty hard to conceal a 220 anyways. I had figured on having to wear a jacket or sloppy shirt.

If I need deep concealment I have a 229 and a VM-II. I also have a S&W snubbie .38 and I am going to get an IWB for it.

Can anyone suggest one?

Try Tucker or High Noon. Both make an excellent IWB holster for a very reasonable cost. If you like Kydex, try Comp-tac.

Are these holsters comfortable?

In tight Levis, not real comfortable. I usually wear Dockers, a belt 4" bigger, pants 2" bigger for carrying a big gun IWB. I tall depends on how tight you wear your clothes, if you have a gut hanging over like me....
I recently started carrying a Sig 239 40 in a Comp-tac ShirtTucker and you can't tell I am carrying when I wear Levi 560s ("relaxed fit" jeans) unless you are real wise to how others conceal their handguns.
I always carry my J-frame Smiths in a pocket holster.

I have three Alessi holsters including a CQC/S.  Lou is one of the very top holster makers in the country.  You won't be disappointed with the CQC, they are very comfortable and secure.

I just received my Alessi today. After days of research I ended up making the right decision. What an awesome and comfortable holster. Very thin profile for concealment, excellent retention and quality. This holster is better quality than my Milt Sparks. I HIGHLY reccomend this rig.

I've got one of these for my M1911 and it really is one of the nicest holsters ever made for OWB.  Conceals well, comfortable, and like all of Lou's products is very high quality.
