What do you think of this handgun. If it fits my daughter and she likes it thinking about gitting it in a 9 mm.
Price 775 good price? |
|
Good gun, oversized for what it is though. Price is very high unless it has night sights then its just high.
No night sights With night sights |

Just bought one in March!
I would consider buying a used P239 over a new one for the following reasons... - New P239s are 100% Exeter guns. The older ones (year or more) are German frame guns (.40SW/.357SIG) and IIRC the 9MM are 100% German - Older Sig barrels have been proof fired and guns assembled with better QC - Keeps the price down (I think these are overpriced new b/c of the CCW market right now) - Gun has been tried. I had a trigger return spring break after 200 rounds - You might get lucky and get a metal guide rod! That said, I searched for about six months trying to find a decent (price/condition) used P239 in .40SW or .357SIG local and gun sites online. I made a huge mistake and passed on one at a local gun show in December because I wanted to keep looking. I should have snatched that one up! The CCW market is insane right now. If you're looking for cheap polymer carry guns they are plentiful but decent carry guns are not. |

Just picked up a pretty recently produced P238 and it only has 1 mag and for the price it should have 2 no matter if there is a shortage from Sig or not. |

That may be because it's not considered a standard production pistol P238 special info But for all standard production pistols, including the p239 This article applies |
| I had a P239 about 12 years ago but sold it for the needed funds. It was reliable and accurate. I recently added a new one to my collection, manufactured 2010, and it runs just as good as that first one I had. Finish and reliability are outstanding and its my summer carry gun for every day. In my area I bought it for $650.00 with night sights and 2 mags. Shop around and you may get a better deal for less than 7 beans. |
I got a heck of a deal on one here...
Plan to go shoot it for the first time on Friday. I think I'm gonna like it.... |

Quoted: I have a friend with one with the threaded barrel and night sites. He loves the gun, but it seems a bit heavy to me for its size. To me it is too heavy for daily carry, but would be a nice range gun. Unless you are a waifish lad prone to blowing away in a strong breeze, it really isn't that noticeable to carry if you've got a decent belt/holster and the extra weight makes shooting more pleasant. |

Got one....
Sig P239 SAS Gen 1 DAK with Short Trigger (not SRT) installed. I have Hogue G10 grips on it and it is by far the most comfortable gun I own! First I am partial to single stacks so that eliminates Glock (except for my 36). It is a GREAT CCW gun without a doubt if you have smaller hands and are partial to single stack. Also as for sweaty hands... I have em as well and all wood grips are lousy with sweaty hands but the G10 just seem to stick even better when your hands are slimy and sweaty. I got that and a couple days later I got a Gen 1 SAS DAK P220 Carry. I am now in the process of moving a couple pieces to get the funds to purchase 4 more Sigs I want....... Out with the old and in with the new (well new to me) |
You might want to locate a SW 3913 Ladysmith for here. Awesome 9mm about the same size as the P239 and perhaps cheaper.
http://www.thegunzone.com/3913nl.html I would like both for my 9mm collection

Do you have a pic with the G10 grips installed? I've been using the rubber Hogue on mine and would like to see what other options I have. To the OP: Mine is a great pistol. Shoots really well. I don't mind the little extra weight on it as it makes it handle very good. I picked mine up at a pawn shop right after I got out of the Army in 2000 and it's still running strong. My wife is comfortable shooting it too, so I keep it in her nightstand for when I'm away. I actually wouldn't mind converting mine into a DAO with a slightly lighter trigger pull. That'd make a great gun even simpler to shoot for beginners. I haven't bought mags for it in a while, but there used to be a high gloss and matte black finished mag. I prefer the matte ones. The couple of gloss ones I have need to be wiped down with oil a lot to keep oxidization away. CHRIS |

So far of the guns I sold, this is by far the one I regret the most. Easy to shoot, dead on accurate, and ate everything. $775, to me is high, but what sig isn't. I'd look for a used one, or even like mentioned a smith 3grd gen 3913/14/15 or a 6906/4/26/46 model

He said Sig only sent one mag with the P239 I purchased. There was a certain time period where P239's only came with one mag. Maybe they all come with two now, but not the one I purchased. |

not if they didn't sell out the 1 mag stock Quoted: Quoted: Good gun, oversized for what it is though. Price is very high unless it has night sights then its just high.
