| I carry my 239 9mm most of the time. It is not too heavy and shoots very well. For me, the smaller, lighter guns are hard to shoot well. YMMV. Rod

| I have three P239, two identical two-tone 357 and a 9mm. I carry the 357 about 75% of the time and switch to my M11-A1 the other 25%. The P239 9mm is fairly new to me so I've yet to carry it. My thoughts are smaller pistol heavier round and larger pistol I go with higher capacity 9mm.

| As I've said... the recoil on the p239 in 357 is a bit much for me too.. but my solution is going to be (at least for now) for practice fire a few rounds in my 357 then actually practice with my 9mm. If on the unforeseen occasion I actually need to use the pistol with 357 sig I think the recoil is going to be the last thing I'm worried about.

| I have the hogue G10 checkered grips on my P239 . My most accurate pistol and carries well. To me it feels a bit top heavy, where the P225 and its extra 1/2 inch on the grip seems better balanced. If you like single stack pistol these would be among the best. |

| Bought a 239 in .40 about a year ago,the 226 and 229 was kind of kicked to the back burner,now if only magazines were more plentiful and cheaper. |
