I just picked up a 2014 model P229R. It has the tac rail and E2 grips, but the slide does NOT say E2 on it.
I'm looking for a decent, but inexpensive paddle retention holster for it. This would be specifically for the range, not for carry.
Question 1:
Is there an easy way to determine if this P229 has the 1.5" or the 1.6" wide slide?
Everything I've read online is that the thicker "E2" slide will not fit the vast majority of holsters designed for the P229.
Question 2:
If I've got a standard slide, what's your favorite brand/model range holster?
If I've got the E2 slide, do you have any suggestions for a holster that will work with this model? Would a holster designed for the 228 work? Or one designed for a 229 .40?
