Looking to purchase a new Sig and am having a hard time deciding between the 239 and the 229. Whats everyones opinion on these two guns?
You cant go wrong with either one.
Both are excellent handguns for concealed carry...or open carry for that matter.
The 229 holds more.

IMO they are overpriced. But If I had the money I would get the 239 as i think it is a little easier to conceal.

I'd look at the 250 as well. I really like my 239. It's easy enough to conceal, but there are guns out there with higher capacity, just as thin, and a bit lighter.

Both are fantastic........ but........

I love my 239. I was recently thinking about getting rid of it but then realized how stupid I was. You cant go wrong with either of the two. Although the 229 holds more it is wider.

I have the P239 and the P229, and both are excellent. For everything but carry I like the P229, one of the best semiautos I have ever shot. But for carry the P239 is a better size and more concealable - it weighs 5 ounces less and is thinner in the slide and shorter in the grip.

I agree with Pogo2, great carry gun. I have a P226 and the 239. I can carry the 226 IWB without issue, however, I EDC the 239.I have the P239 and the P229, and both are excellent.

pogo2, how are the aluminum grips, do they add any thickness to the grip or remain thin like the factory grips?

P239
Mine's a 9mm DAK with XS Big Dots.
The P229 is a great gun as well, but it's a little bigger, heavier and most importantly, thicker than the P239.

Love my 239, I added a hogue grip to her and that made it the best gun I have ever shot. I would go with the 40 insted of the 9mm but thats just me.

I really like my P239. It's my EDC.
Sometimes on a clear day, I can see into the future with this spotting scope.
