Sig P239: Solid Rep, Fast Shooter
Once considered a compact pistol option, the Sig P239 understandably has many faithful followers. It remains an well-proven design. That’s because the P239 shares many of the excellent characteristics of its larger stablemates like the P225, P228, and P226. Expect excellent accuracy, a fine single action trigger (once transitioned from DA in firing), great sights, lots of accessory options, superb reliability, excellent fit and finish, and the ability to do quick follow up shots. This speed in firing is partially due to the substantial 29.5 oz weight. That’s a lot for a gun that just provides 8+1 rounds of firepower. Moreover the carry package is no longer competitive in the compact category, given today’s more size-efficient competitors like the Kahr PM9/40 or Kel-Tec PF-9. Those guns offer similar firepower with substantially less weight and bulk. So don’t expect the P239 to function in the officers backup role really; its just too heavy and bulky. However as a primary CCW or off-duty gun the P239 will excel when paired with a well-designed holster (shoulder or IWB preferred). Many fans have found that the additional bulk and weight is a good thing and enhance the outstanding shootability of the P239. Ergos on the gun, like most Sigs, are excellent and many female shooters will love the smaller grip circumference (and lessened recoil compared to other polymer guns). Add in a super simple takedown and high retained resale values and the attraction to the P239, even today, remains intact. If you can accommodate the weight and limited rounds, the outstanding Sig P239 is one of best compact-full-size pistol options available. For me, Sigs remain my “1911.” /////////////Nutnfancy Likeability Scale: 8 of 10

I know exactly what you mean by Sig being your 1911. Its the same reason why I got my P226 when I was in the mindset to get a 1911.

I have this gun for off-duty in the 40 caliber. I find it easy to conceal and shoots well. as far as value when i bought the gun dealer told me it’s a cops gun and only cops buy it. as an off duty I would highly recommend it even thou it only has 7+1 I agree with sig229trt you will proably never need a relaod in a fire fight off duty.

@RoyalAlba1 I have had great luck with Speer GoldDot 124gr +P watch tnoutdoors9 ballistic test on this round as well as others. The GoldDot’s are a mean round. That’s what I carry in 9mm, 38spl, and .45ACP the round just rocks!

I own one with trijicon night sights and it also went though the Sig custom shop for an action job. Mine is a .40 cal. Great pistol. I own a p220, p245 and a 2340 also great guns. My 239 is my everyday CC pistol. One spare mag. Outside of military combat, hopefully you never need 16 rounds. I know more is better but many guys depend on ammo vrs accurate. Hits count!!! Good vid.

Nice video(s). I …
Nice video(s). I have a 226 in 9mm and like it a “lot,” but am trying to decide on a carry gun, either the 229 or the FNP-9. They’re sort of apples and oranges, but the FN is reliable (sig-like) and holds 16+1, albiet a larger hand gun.
Keep up the good work.
