P239 SAS Gen 1

All the chatter about the P239 being discontinued by Sig I realized I didn't have one, so I went to looking for my favorite version. P239 9mm SAS/DAK. This one is truly mint. Three mags plus one left over that I found in my holster drawer, so I have that covered pretty well. Handsome Sig IMO.

Looks good. I have a .357 sig dak and a 9mm sa/da. Not getting rid of mine.

I believe it has ben fired, but surely not much. Two of the three mags look like they haven't been loaded. It was advertised as " Mint " Box is dated 2007.

That IS good looking! I have the plain jane black in 9mm and plan on keeping it. Thanks for the pics.

The gen 1 SAS line is one of the handsomest pistols Sig has produced in recent years. I have a gen 1 220 and a gen 1 229. As I’m a DAK fan, these are favourites of mine. In fact, I shot the 220 yesterday in an IDPA match in CDP Division.

Very nice. I have never had a DAK.

Nice contrast

Looks very much like the one I let get away. Love to have that SAS/DAK back.

Awesome acquisition! I also love the Gen 1 SAS pistols in DAK format. I currently own 3 of these beauties; a 220 (in .45 of course), a 229 & a 239 both in .40. The 229 is the only Sig that I have bought as a new pistol. The 220 & 239 as well as all my other Sigs were bought as used guns.

It looks great. I have mine a long time made it a three gun. It came in 40s&w bought a .357Sig and a 9mm barrel. Installed CT laser grips.

That's a pristine P239...

That model is one of my favorites and a daily carry.

Here's my Gen 1 with a P220 big brother.

Very nice SAS DAK. Those wood grips look so good but they do get a bit slippery.

Is the front sight still viable?

That is a beautiful P239! My 938 was similar in color. I just love that scheme/setup.

Great looking pistol, got2hav1.

You did very well, sir !

lubs me some Gen 1 P239 DAK

Thanks fellows. I pulled the slide off yesterday and the rails are pristine and barely a smiley on the barrel. I agree that the two tone and wood grips make for a good looking pistol. I used to have two of these at one time, ( P239 ) but for some reason I let them get away. I think this one is a keeper. Love your photos fellows, so don't feel shy about posting more. Here is the big brother P229. It has the best trigger of any DAK I have shot.

It has contrast sights, which I actually prefer in the daytime at least.

That's interesting. I too have a 229 DAK and the trigger is the best in any gun I've ever shot and I've shot many. I wonder if that's inherent in that particular model of Sig.

Bulldog, I don't have an answer but the person I bought the P229 from told me it was the best he had ever handled as well. This one is a .40 but I have used my 9mm Firedragon drop in barrel in it and it works great.
