What are your thoughts on the Sig P239 series pistols? Seems people either love them or hate them.

I like mine in .40 but love it w/ hogue grips. The grips are the reason it's my main carry. Somewhat thin and quite accurate for it's size. If I replace it for carry, it will be w/ a P365, but I will never get rid of it.

I have a "forever" P239 40 as well, in Rainbow Ti. Shoots like a laser.

I like my 9mm P239 well enough, but have to admit that I carried my G19 more often because it was the same size, and held more rounds.

Then along came the P365, which I carry most often. So I carry the 365 much the same as I did my S&W 638, in the pocket, or OWB in the summer, will probably switch back to the G19 when the weather cools back down in the fall.

I am not quite ready to sell the 239 at this point in time, but it’s time left is limited I think.

A buddy offered me a .40 239 so cheap I could not pass it up.
It amazed me with how well it shoots the snappy .40 round.
Mine has Talon grips.

I had two many years ago but they just did not do much for me. So I sold them. Instead, I went the 228/229 route. NOW for CCW, I love my 938's.

There was nothing wrong with them and I shot them well but I just never had a love-affair with them.

With some Hogue G10 grips, I love it. I purchased mine because I couldn't get a new Smith 3913/3914.

It was my CC gun in TN and GA. Nice and slim with a good grip. When I went back North I went to a SIG 229 and then an M&P compact.

Everyone I've handed it to has liked it.

I just got a 10 round magazine with it, but I haven't used it yet. The magazine capacity was the one limitation. If SIG had done a 365 style magazine in it, I would never have shifted to the 229.

Nice guns, shoot well, just don't do much for me.

Yes, they are slimmer than a 228/229, but they are essentially the same in length and width, so they didn't do much for me from a concealment standpoint. I went with the 938 for a small concealable pistol, and a 1911 commander if I want a slim, single stack.

As nice as they are, it didn't seem sensible to me to tie up that much $ in a pistol that didn't get me anything that I didn't already have covered in other places.

A great pistol with Nill grips that just doesn’t have the capacity that more modern guns of equal or lesser size has. If you don’t worry about capacity, then a wonderful if heavy EDC.

I neither love it nor hate it, but I do like it.

It's easy for me to shoot it well. "Well" is a relative term, what is "well" for me might be piss-poor for other people, but the pistol is comfortable for me, no complaints.

I no longer have any SIG pistols. If I was to buy a DA/SA SIG, the P239 9mm would be the one that I would get first.

While I carried the P226 9mm and P220 .45 as my duty weapons, the SIG P239 9mm was one of my off-duty guns and probably my favorite SIG.

No longer shoot DA/SA pistols, but I have a soft spot in my heart for the P239 9mm.

The P239-40 was the first Sig I shot (my dad's).
I'd have no problem with owning one for the right price.

I have to admit it took awhile for it to grow on me. I think it was the sights more than anything. Now I can say, I like it alot, not love...I do carry it during the cooler months here in South Florida. It conceals well and has always been reliable with 2000+ rds through it.

I don't think any SIG fans "hate" the P239. Maybe the gun is not for some of them, but hate? Nope.

Love. It's sort of the last of the finely thought out well made single stack European 9mms. Walther P-38/P-5, HK P7, Beretta's single stacks, SIG P-210/P47, I'm probably missing a few that I can't think of right now.
It's a sweet spot gun, not a numbers gun. It's an easy to conceal (easiest for me) pistol that shoots just as well as a P220 or P226. And at the time it came out, it was about the same size as most .380s. Most of the micro 9s that are out now are too small for me to shoot well (Kahr's all steel guns being an exception), so the P-239 in either 9mm or 357, it's even pretty sweet in .40, is just right.

That was my EDC for along time. I have a .40 and a .357 Sig barrel for it.
