I was wondering if anyone out there carries the p229 on a regular basis and could offer up their opinion on it. Also What would be a good price to look for. Any help would be great. Thank you

i dont carry the p229 but i do carry the p225 or actually the p6 (west german police version)... it is dimensionally a twin of the 229 but about 6oz lighter due to the p6 being a single stack.

it is my daily carry and since its a midsize semi, it can be concealed on most non super model types. i cant recommend sigs enough and the p220 family is the best of the best in my opinion.

as for the price, i cant help ya, i hate buying new guns, i would rather buy a used one dirt cheap and spend a little time refurbishing and cleaning because my labor is free to me. and since i dont give a rats ass about shiney new bling, my guns all look like work guns and shoot like they should.

I've briefly carried OWB in a Blackhawk Check Six holster at 4:30-5:00. However, I recently got an El Paso Saddlery Combat Express belt slide holster, and I think it may end up being my primary CC holster. Under a untucked shirt, jacket, even an unbuttoned sport coat OWB at 3:00. I'm recovering from shoulder surgery, so I haven't had a chance to wear the belt slider out yet.

I love almost all SIG's, and there are thousands of people who carry a 229 every day. It's a great model, and if you ever really need it, it will shoot a little better, with more rounds, than a 239. It's a little thick for concealed carry, but you get used to it. Try different holsters, including leather, kydex, OWB, IWB, supertuck, etc., etc. You'll find one that you like.
