| You might try to find a Beretta Model 70s in .22lr.
It's about the same size and it might be a good substitute for a .22 conversion on a P239. |

Yeah, making conversion kits for a discontinued pistol isn't exactly a recipe for success. |

Sig never made one that I ever saw and I look at everything P239 I can find. Since it’s another discontinued and forgotten model by Sig, they’ll never consider making a .22lr conversion kit for it either. Sig abandoned their namesake 357Sig round. Therefore, never expect them to give one wit about a discontinued model like the P239. Owners of the P239 like me love the model and most couldn’t imagine ever parting with one. In 9, 40 or 357Sig, the P239 is an awesome piece. |

| The 239 was a single purpose gun. Designed for the the secret service, air marshals, conceal carry for LEO. Never a rail and no 22 conversion.
Single purpose
Should never have been discontinued.
The firearm didn't need to carry 15 {or more} rounds. The people that it was designed for were expected to not lay down a barrage of cover fire. {think Air Marshal, Presidential escort , etc} It needed to be inconspicuous and concealable. But able to deploy any of the popular enforcement calibers.
Practice with what you will carry. Precision, not superfluous fire.
Single purpose. Even the non SAS version is smoothed and very snag free. {very little difference} |

| Speaking of .22's - do you think Sig will ever make a conversion for the 320? |

I thought the Secret Service and the FAMS carried the 229? |

| The P239 certainly is easy to carry. I love mine. |
