See my other post on this holster.
The "Pager Pal" is worth a look. I have had mine less than a week, an am carrying a Sig 245, it may take a little getting use to, but it does conceal the gun, and should be great for the 229. (I haven't tried my 229 yet.)
Type "Pager Pal" in your search engine and you should find some information on them.
They are advertised, and were first made, to be used with a pager, but they also have a cell phone case that attaches to the holster, and it looks like you are just wearing a cell phone. Wearing it on the left side, pick up on the cell phone case with the left hand, the holster comes out, you are ready to take the gun in your right hand. They do make them for left handed people too.
