Sig 239 holster question

Will holsters for the 9mm fit the 40?

The top of the slide in the .357 SIG and .40 are wider than the 9mm.

I have two holsters made for P239s. When I still had the .357 SIG I would use it interchangeably with the 9mm in both holsters. Since the real retention is at the trigger guard it was not a problem. There was a minor difference in the effort needed to draw the pistol. The 9mm was a little easier than the .357. You would notice if you tried that the 9mm fit the holster a wee bit more loosely than the .357.

What the Dr said.

I have VMII for .40 and the 9mm fits OK, but not as snug as the 9mm model.

depends upon holster...

YMMV

yes, the posters are right the 9 is a little smaller, some holster makers have holsters just for the 239-9mm and the 40 but i cant remember which makers.
