Sig P239 as main CCW?

[Mr.357Sig]

I handled a Sig P239 tonight and was really impressed by the slim feel of the single-stack grip and the gun's balance. It only holds 8 rounds in 9mm, but I think it would be an awesome CCW.

Have any of you OSA folks had any experience with the P239? I REALLY like the looks of the two-tone model and I think it would wear better in daily holster use.

I have a Kahr CW45 as my current CCW. It's really nice, but I've learned I'm not a fan of the big kick of the 45 on a small frame pistol. It's also a single stack, but I think I want to cut back on the caliber.

Do you guys prefer the 9mm or the .40 S&W of the P239?

 

[Mr.357Sig]

I found a two-tone 9mm version at Bud's for $760. Is that a good price?

I carried a 239 in 40 S&W for several years. A very accurate and dependable toting gun.

Its a Sig.....quality and reliabilty.

I say yes.....get it carry it and trust it.

 

[Mr.357Sig]

Thanks guys.

I'm leaning toward the .40 version. That way I can switch out the barrel with the .357 Sig if I want to. I love that round in my Glock 31, but she is pricey.

I'll have to sell the Kahr and my Sig Pro 2022 to fund this baby, but I think it will be well worth it.

Carried my 239 for over a year and as nice as it is that pistol is heavy.

Excellent choice, a 239 is my carry gun. I have a SAS model and carry it an a MS VM2.

Even though it's not a P239, I carry a P225. Its only a little larger, still only 8+1, and with two spare mags + my SW640, its plenty. No need to worry, like others have said its a SIG, she'll be just fine!!!

Have owned one in 357SIG ten or eleven years, carrying it mostly when I am hunting, don't carry it as the main carry all the time but do some of the time depending on how I dress the day.

The 239 9mm I have is the closest thing to an all purpose ccw in one package that I have found. A good balanced platform, both weight and size. I have the SAS Gen 2, so the night sights and SRT with the smoothed edges all put it in perfect for anytime, any situation. Many have problems with only a single stack, but a pistol is to only fight your way to the real gun anyway. Don't get me wrong, I like doulble stack, high cap, but hate to hide it. I have put many rounds down the pipe with only one stove pipe (that was my wife with a linp wrist). She likes it so much though that I have purchased a threaded barrel and can for it so she can have it as it primary bedside sd weapon.
