Does the Sig P239 make sense

[CAMSDADDY]

I have always been fascinated with the P239. I honestly don't know why. The gun is heavier than most and only 8+1 round capacity. I have a 3913, 43 and a Shield. I am trying to decide if there is anything the P239 can do that the ones I have cant. To me capacity is a wash (2 more than the 43 & 3 more than the 3913 and Shield as I carry them). I like the idea of the hammer (I don't know why). I like the DA first shot (love revolvers) may make my first shot more intentional. I have never even held a P239. From what I can tell its almost the size of a 19 but single stack.

I had a P239 in .357SIG for years as my off-duty carry. It is also one of 2 authorized duty guns for the Federal Air Marshals.

Great gun, I liked mine a lot.

P229

Yes. One of the best. Also look at 225.

Am I close in thinking it's about the same size as a 19?

I've owned several and like them all. Think of them as a single stack P229. That's the only reason I got rid of mine was the 229 worked out better for me.

I am in the same boat as you. Have handled several in the gun shops, compared sisd by side with the G19, so yes to answer your question. People swear by them who have them. Just depends if you can get used to the 10 lb. DA pull on the first shot. I love my Sigs
