As a range toy that is never to be carried, I would not buy either of the two.

I would be looking for something with a longer barrel, not a shorter one.

Perhaps a P220MSE

These have the very fine LPA adjustable rear sight and a 5" sight radius for improved sighting accuracy.




If we are limiting the choice to only those two, I would get a P239 in 357SIG





The P239 and 357SIG cartridge are a match made in heaven. These are very accurate compact auto loaders that handle the recoil of the cartridge extremely well.

What He Said

239n in 357 Sig. Range toy with carry option in both urban and woods environment. Great gun!

I vote for the P220

I love my P239s. Yes, they’re heavy, and no, they’re not really compact, and the single stack has limited capacity. But they look good, feel even better, and shoot even betterer! I like the.40 round, and there is more and more cheap .40 ammo showing up. 357sig if you want to blind, burn, and deafen them!

P239
