I am looking for a new vest and I want a CC vest.
I dont see many reviews on google.  I would like to get a good one under $100.

I've got one from Coronado Leather. It is great. Model V29B, its brown Bison with lots of pockets but 2 for CC. It also has Indian head snaps!

My 2 cents after having several and wearing them for the last 30 years. 

Don't but without trying with your CCW.  Don't be misled by trying them with a plastic or blue gun, that is far from the same as the real thing in weight.  The biggest thing they do is sag once the weight is in them for a while, the settle in a saggy style.

Some of the pockets are too deep, you have to reach in to almost your elbow to get a grip.  Make sure you can put it away without using 2 hands to stretch the strap that holds the CCW.

In my opinion, there are no great one, just some more acceptable than others.  The one I use now cost over $200, no name brand, built by vest guy who I haven't seen in years.

Good luck.

ccw vest = shoot me first vest.

As a biker or a rider, a Harley t-shirt, and a blue denim long sleeved shirt over that, open at the front.  Goes with the doo-rag and bandana around my neck.

This is what I am finding out.  It seems that any vest with a inside pocket will be called CC.  I want one that will hold the gun securely with good access.  I like the Australian vest good price too, but I want more of a biker vest for patches etc. still looking.

Agreed.... Unless you are going to wear that vest every day and carry the weapon in it that way every day IMO you should carry your weapon consistently like you always do, practice drawing & shooting from that position often, and wear what you need to cover it. When the "do do" hits the rotary oscillator you don't want to have to think about where your weapon is because you carry it in different places. If you want to wear a vest get one that is large/long enough to cover where you normally would wear/carry your weapon.

Works for me, and it's a pretty nice leather vest.  Black or Brown.

I bought one from mcvest via Amazon.  Its a SOA style with collar and zipper in naked leather for $119 should be here in a couple of days.

Vest is great!! excelent quality.  I didn't use the pockets for carry I used my holster but they are nice big pockets that do come in handy.
