I agree. And while many say it's possible to learn multiple systems...why? I'd rather not take the chance. I carry a USPf .45 on duty and a USPc .45 off duty. Occasionally I'll carry my SW442 or LCP as a 2nd gun off duty, but they are both no safety, point and pull guns.
I know it's not directed to me, but I love my LCP. I put about 600 problem free rounds through it before ever carrying it. Now I have over 1000 rds through it. Still not a single FTF/FTE/etc. At one range session, I shot a cpl hundred rounds through her, carried it in my pocket for a cpl wks to get it 'linty', took it back out and shot another 100 rds w/o ever cleaning or lubing it. Not bad for a $300 pocket rocket IMO...
I'm in the same boat. 370-xxx and I've read of ppl having issues after getting their gun back. Still haven't sent mine in. I will eventually
I carry a Glock 21SF most of the time these days. Though I occasionally carry a Glock 23, Beretta 92FS or a Springfield Armory M1911A1 TRP Stainless Steel. I always carry at least 1 spare magazine and my Smith & Wesson 637 J-Frame always goes with me for backup.

I generally prefer to dress around the gun and just carry my duty pistol. My duty pistol is a stainless 5" P220 Elite so I don't want to hear any whining about carrying a P229. If you don't think it can be done, try a quality holster like a Milt Sparks Versa Max II.
In the very rare instance, like shorts and a t-shirt, when I can't carry the P220, I carry a P245. I really like the direct transfer of all my training time.

If you are issued a compact P229 then why not carry it for off duty? The G19/G23/USP/P239 will not be that much smaller to warrant a change. I carry a P229 on and off duty without any issues. Nothing wrong with what you have.
go with something similar to your duty gun
I don't collect guns, I accumulate them
