Congratulations kastiron! As to your carry weapon dilemma, that's a tough one. My very first handgun was a P89 - I carried it from time to time, usually in a shoulder rig. It CAN be done but as you already know ... it's not very comfy.
My current primary carry is a S&W 642 Airweight: .38spl +P capable and accurate enough that it's what I used to qualify for my carry permit. As far as long term, high volume durability I'd have to agree with you - steel would be a better choice. Hey, it's a decent defensive caliber, a good size for CCW and when I get that next .45 I can still use my 642 as a BUG. At least that's my current plan.
It's amazing what some folks here carry on a daily basis so don't give up on that G22 yet. If you want to carry it I'm sure someone here can offer suggestions as to how it can be done comfortably.
