Corrected a Poor Choice-239 Found!
During the height of covid and the riots, I sold several guns. 6 were 239s. I really thought I had 8, but had miscounted (read the spreadsheet wrong.) Several were the GOTM types and brought a good price. At any rate, I intended to keep two, but sold them all. I realized this not long ago, and have been casually looking for one (or two) when I cruise the gun shops. Today I found one in a shop about a mile from the house, excellent condition, a tiny bit of holster wear near the muzzle, 3 mags, box and instruction manual. Haven't had a chance to field strip or shoot it yet. I'm really pleased to have found one.

And the rules are not related to counting correctly? It’s about PHOTOS!

I “discovered” the P239s late but am now a fan. It sounds like you did well.

1st world problem - I have so many guns I sold more of them then I thought I actually had. Big Grin

I love the P239. It was my first REAL deal carry gun. I took my first carry class with the one I still have.

The P239, imo, is the only SIG that’s really a SAS without the need to make a SAS variant, although, of course, they did make the SAS version.

Congrats! Looks good. I have had so many 239s over the years. The flat front strap makes is the only pistol that I think Hogue warps around grips are a must with.

Currently don’t have one, but I have been contemplating picking one up in 40.

Nice that you found it locally!

I will second that! I've been using a RGrizzle holster for my 239 for years with no sign of it wearing out.

Try Ryan’s GS2 holster and GS2 Double Mag Pouch. He has a military discount and he will expedite your order for a fee. He is much easier to work with than Milt Sparks.

I'll check the holster out. Thanks!

I bought a Sig 239 10 years ago. It was my first Sig and my first DA/SA gun. I had just gotten out of the hospital after surgery and was told that I needed to get out and walk regularly. I live in a not so good neighborhood so I always kept a gun around but my Glock 17 was a little big to carry in my condition. Found a 239 in ablocal message board and picked it up. I later realized that even being smaller, it was not as light as I was hoping for and sold it to pick up a Glock 43 that fit my needs better. I have regretted selling that 239 ever since and hope someday to find a deal on one locally again.
