There’s a touch of overtravel and some minor stacking. It’s better than some (e.g., Beretta 92). It usually puts a sly “f_ck you” kinda grin on my face when I’m outshooting everyone else’s Glock 19s, M&Ps and XDs at my local range. But, I can say that is definitely the exception, not the rule. Especially because I know what the gun is capable of. If I’ve had too much coffee, if I haven’t shot in a while, if I’m shooting ammo that’s not in its sweet spot in terms of bullet weight and power factor… like I said… it’s not as forgiving. That said, the P239 has left me frustrated. The P239 can, and often does, outshoot everything.Īnecdotally, I’ve heard that the P239 is among the most mechanically accurate of all P2XX Sigs (which are, as rule, very mechanically accurate anyway) owed to its full-length frame rails (i.e., there’s no break in the rails, as with a P226, P228 or P229).
I’ll bring it to the range with a Hi Power, a 92… whatever. I can literally shoot the numbers off a silhouette at 10 yards with a P239. It hangs in there with my Beretta PX4 and my Sig P245. I’ve shot some of the tightest groups I’ve ever shot with my 2006-vintage P239 in 9mm. Time and again, the P239 blows my mind in terms of its accuracy. But-a combat pistol though it may be-it’s not quite as stable and forgiving as a bigger service pistol. It’s nothing that would preclude its utility as fighting handgun. If you grip it too hard… if you tense your support hand as the trigger breaks… if you engage the trigger at too much of an angle… you’ll see it on the paper. And if you f_ck it up… well, that’s on you. It doesn’t presume to tell you what to do with the recoil impulse. It doesn’t funnel your hand into a specific position or posture. It’s like a car with a firm suspension: you feel the road, but in a good way. And it communicates-through every facet of your hand. The recoil is brisk, but not sharp or hard. Your distal joint comes up naturally against the wall-which is firm and distinct. My suppressed HK sure draws looks from friends.It’s right there. My Sig P220 Carry (I AM a ,45 ACP guy at heart) is carried in custom leather as re my Sigs and 1911s. I also occasionally carry my Glock 22 with a. The lightweight aluminm alloy frame cannot be done in CPII’s stainless look, so it was done in lightly shined black. It was done with the CPII on the slide, controls, and trigger. My Sig is my go-to piece, or my main backup if I’m going into something/someplace where trouble might be waiting. My revolvers get occasional carry – legal open carry in Texas starts on January 1st…then the show starts. My suppressed HK.45 is my nightstand weapon. My Gunsite Lightweight Carry Pistol is as concealable as my P239, but it’s far to nice of a weapon for carry.
Sig 9mm p239 full size#
My full size SS 1911 is to big and heavy, do it’s in a room in the house. I’ve bought Sig used about 10 years ago when I need a carry gun more suited to my new CHL carrying status. The 357 Sig speaks loudly and with authority. I like this gun and would trust my life to it. I’m now carrying more often using a hidden pocket on my range briefcase or the dash holster. Only the grip screws have shown any sign of rusting during the ~8mo of IWB carry. This gun has a metal guide rod, though the. I’ll push it all the way to 500 with my next trip to the range at which point I’ll give it a solid cleaning. I’ve put about 400 rounds through since my last cleaning (bad Matt) and have not had a single problem with it. Overall though I can hit center mass with the DA/SA first shot and can easily group with follow up shots. The follow-up 4lb pull is fantastic, though the reset is a bit long (but can be shortened with factory parts). I’m not a huge fan of the 10lb initial trigger pull, but appreciate the added safety that comes from it. The gun is available however with Sig’s pretty decent night sights right from the factory. I opted to black out the line on the rear sight and added neon orange to the dot on the front. The stock white dot sights are decent at best. Granted there is a decent sacrifice in ammo (8+1) but the thin mags pocket very well. The single stack grip fills my hand perfectly and is a nice relief from the shorter fatter grips of the double stack guns. It is not a light gun, being all metal (silver stainless with black ano), but it carries well probably as a result of it’s thin profile. Not my preference, I’ll take the thin hard plastic stock grips. 40 cal 239 come through with the Hogue rubber grips, which add some width and finger grooves. I had tried a number of other major brands and calibers and felt the Sig single stack grip in a 9mm was the best of the bunch. I purchased this handgun second hand as a conceal carry weapon.
