The P229 & P228 are a compact version, and not the same as the P226.
There are also dimensional differences in the WE versions of these guns which mean that the P228/9s need different retention holster to the P226.
I have 2 WE P226's the R and the E2. They will not fit into genuine serpa holsters without something like the heat treatment or dremeling suggested earlier. They do fit in the serpa style holsters from Helmet World perfectly and the screw holes on these do match up with genuine serpa accessories like the quick detach system etc.
I also have a WE P228, which I think is more similar to the P229 than the P226 is. My WE P228 does fit in a genuine serpa, but there are different serpa holsters for the P226 and P228. Blackhawk only make the P228 serpa holster in black as far as I know.
The WE P228 like the WE P226 will not fit in a genuine serpa P226 holster either it only fits in the genuine serpa made for the P228. A WE P228 will also be a very loose fit in the P226 holsters from Helmet World. it will be secure, but it will wobble and rattle a bit.
