So, from the original question... what part exactly are you needing for your Sig P239 that you can't get from Sig?

Well, for the moment I'm on the hunt for a 357 SIG barrel. Did manage to find an SRT kit elsewhere.

SRT is a perfect example. Recoil spring another, mags another. The list is pretty long....

Barsto Barrels list the 239 as a a gun that they still make barrels for. It will cost a little bit more but it will also be a higher quality barrel. I have Barsto conversions in 2 of my sigs and Max just won nationals with a Barsto in his X5

As a paranoid person, I stock up on mags and parts. it has helped me when I need extra cash.

I had an early TT 239 with nickel accents. It was in perfect, low mileage condition. I qualified for my ccw with it. I don't remember what I traded it for. I do remember that I was sorry. Reading all this, I'm now glad it's gone.

A quick search of gunbroker found this

https://www.gunbroker.com/item/833681044

its a .40 S&W SIG P239 barrel which should drop into the .357SIG P239. If your barrel is done for could be a way to keep the gun going. its $199.

https://www.ebay.com/p/6031752095

https://www.ebay.com/itm/BBL23...1:g:fs4AAOSwWlZdk2fw

these are actual new SIG-made .357SIG P239 barrel's on ebay for 219 either one.

https://www.gunpartscorp.com/g...-pistols-sig/239-sig

Numrich gun parts also has .357SIG P239 barrels for 228.25

I used a search engine called "Google" to find this stuff.

To all the people who seemed to think they're aren't any parts for them check https://www.midwestgunworks.com/ & Numrich gun parts https://www.gunpartscorp.com too.

Wolff springs are good for hammer springs it looks like but the P250SC/P320SC recoil spring is compatible with the P239 so I'm betting you'll be able to find those indefinitely.

I don't see anything you can't get by online searching.

If you plan on shooting it alot(5K+) get some parts in advance now while you definitely can affordably.

It's kinda "Chicken Little" for people at this point to say they can't find the parts and therefore must dump these guns.

If anyone wants to get rid of them for cheap I will gladly take them off your hands and brave the task of looking for future replacement parts.


Here's the P239 parts I know of that are used in the P225-A1: barrel, trigger, hammer, decocker, slide catch, magazine (except baseplate), trigger bar. It most likely uses all the internal parts, but I can't confirm it.

Speaking of parts support, anyone know what military agency used the P239?

My brother told me he got a message about surplus P239 9mm guns that might go into the surplus LESO program or something like that.

Navy SEALS used it IIRC. It was an option.

Before it was discontinued, the Sig factory spare parts kit (239-9-PKIT) contained the following parts: decocking lever spring, slide catch lever spring, trigger bar spring, recoil spring, slide pins (is this the firing pin retaining pin?) and grip screws.

Numrich Gun Parts has all of these except the slide catch lever spring and the trigger bar spring. MidwayUSA has the trigger bar spring.

The only part in the spare parts kit that I can't find is the slide catch lever spring (except on eBay).

I recall seeing Navy SEAL K9 handlers with P-239 9 mm, with 10 round magazine.

if this was in fact true, then why would SIG itself tell you they can't supply a recoil spring?

those 2 recoil springs cover 239's in 9mm and .357SIG/.40 S&W and as you see a number of other types P245, P250SC,SIG Pro etc

There's a company called Galloway Precision IIRC, that makes some parts for the 239.

If you are really concerned, but a spare gun. They’re not bringing much on the used market. Gives you one each of spare parts.

$369.99

Those last comments, of course, completely miss the point of the discussion. SIG killed the gun for new production. They have at least some obligation to provide spares for some time period. They FUBARed that.

No, it’s ignoring the fact that this has nothing to do with parts, or parts availability.

Parts can be found, and buying a $400 gun really solves issues on a gun that never breaks. The real issue is that people want to complain. Parts are still available. You just have to look a bit.

I did sell a gun once because the stock of mags was worth more than the gun.


I don't know why they have an obligation to supply parts?

The parts are out there and with the internet they're easy to find. Personally I don't worry about it all that much.
I regularly shoot guns that haven't been any parts "available" for decades, some for over a hundred years. And if there's something I can't get, it means I have a whole pile of parts that other people are looking for. (there as well, I've purchased guns knowing they were worth much more as parts than I was paying for the complete gun)

UH. no. and maybe double no. jljones you are missing the mark on this one. At the macro level sig kills guns all the time, but simply doesn't do anything to help with consumables for existing owners. I can give you a very, very, very, long list if that matters. Now I understand that this is not a legal obligation, but its really hard to understand how a mfg. that might value owners to not have some inventory of things that wear out.
I should not have to scour the internet for a gun that was recently in production to find a part. I should not have to buy a full spare for a spring. This is nuts. I should not have to not shoot a gun sig sold me since I can't get parts if it breaks (not 239 example)
Now when I buy rare and exotic things I simply accept the price includes that issue and I have often bought 2 to be sure I have 1. OR as above when I get a 100yo gun I know there is no help. But here it was recently in production, it is in fact still in production (or inventory) for some purposes. The fact simple spares are not availalble is BS>

Does anyone know for sure that Sig won't repair/refurbish a 239 in-house?

Like in their various packages, one being for when you buy a used gun--sending it in to get a work over and springs, etc., replaced?

Here’s the thing that the hysteria crowd ignores. A large percentage of the parts in a 239 are still in production. They insist on sticking their fingers in their ears and screaming “no no no”.

I think that it is because of a couple of reasons. The first is they demand to have it Burger King style. Their way, right now. And when they get told that they have to actually work at finding parts, they insist that it is bullshit. The other is complaining is fun.

When in reality, only about 13-14 parts are discontinued. Buying a spare $400 cures that. And those are generally never break items. I keep offering up the business idea to the complainers of making these parts for sale but no one takes me up on it because most of it will never sell because it never breaks. And I think deep down they know it, but it is much easier to claim that there are no parts.

IIRC there are 64 parts in a 239. 50 or so are still in current production. And it has nothing to do with the 239. I would say SIG will still work on your 239 if you have issues.
