Sig 239 at the range

[BSA1]

Thought you might like to know that magazines are out there, but supplies dry up quickly. Here's a link that was brought to my attention that still has some in stock. Enjoy!
Buy Sig Sauer P239 9mm 8rd Magazine for $43.99 | MAG-239-9-8

Are they new or used condition?

Are they new or used condition?

I assume they're selling new mags. The ad doesn't specify, but considering the source's reputation and price, I assume they are new mags. If they don't show up new in Sig packaging, I'll be surprised, and will be making a call to Osage.

I just picked up 2 nice P239s SAS. . A 9mm and a .40 cal. I just need to to find a 357 Sig barrel for the 40.

Just checking to see if you read my reply above about the Bar Sto 357 Sig barrel I got for one of my 239s. As far as I know Sig doesn't have them any more so BarSto may be the only option for a new one.

Took my Sig to the range today for the first time, and I am impressed! 65 rounds at 7, 15, and 25 yards, startin at 7 and ending at 15 (the last stage was 15 yards fairly rapid fire). All rounds were within an 8 inch circle, all on the paper ( I'm cheap, only used one target). The final stage I kept 24 rounds within 3 inches, most rounds within two. This little shooter is far more accurate than than I am! Needless to say this is my new carry gun!

Knife for interest....

FYI: the 9mm P239 mags I ordered from Osage showed up today, and as expected were new, in sealed Sig packages.

Actually I missed the post. I picked one up from a Sig forum member. Thank you anyway.

I also picked up the mags from Osage or link provided thank you.

It would be extremely tough to find a better self-defense handgun than the Sig P239. Mine is chambered for .40 S&W. I use 180 grain Fed HST LE ammo in it.

The Sig P239 is extremely reliable and incredibly accurate. Were I to bet, very, very few handguns, revolvers included, could compete with the P239's accuracy and especially reliability.

My guess is cost of production caused its demise. Striker-fired, polymer handguns at half the price of a P239 enticed many shooters to go with far less expensive handguns.

I'm a huge fan of Sig's Short Reset Trigger kit. As the P239 has been discontinued, so have the SRT kits for them. They've becoming scarce as hen's teeth. Almost impossible to find.
I guy on another forum pointed these out to me on e-bay. I ordered one for my gun. If anybody is interested, nows the time.

Agreed. The only reason I have a striker fired gun is for the caliber with my 2 Glock 20s and one 29 in 10mm. My plastic hk 45s are aok though.

Maybe it's just me but for compact pistols my 239/357 sig and the Glock 29 both fully loaded feel heavy for their size. I never weighed them but my compact HK USP 45 feels lighter. Probably just illusionary on my part.

I've got a DAO in .40 coming in. Looking forward to a concealable,
accurate pistol...anyone know how tough/$$$ it is, to convert to
DA/SA?

At long last I've found the P239 in .357Sig.

It was advertised but nobody jumped- for $400 shipped. Comes with the .40 barrel, two mags, and the box.

The tracking should start moving tomorrow. When it gets to the FFL I'll finally get to see it in person. At least I have leather for the gun and mag.

Congratulations on what sounds like a fantastic deal

 

[Mainsail]

UPDATE on mine: I went to the FFL yesterday for some visitation with the P239. It looks better than I was expecting. The pics the seller sent me made it look like the gun had a lot of wear thru the finish on the high-spots, around the take-down lever and other protruding controls, as well as the muzzle. Those all turned out to be artifacts from the lighting- this gun looks almost new.

Now I'm even happier! Not happy about WA's 10-day wait though. Just more work for the FFL, which may be the intent.

 

[7tenz]

Awesome. Good that it worked out better than expected. You will love the 357 sig and don't listen to the naysayers talk about ammo costs. I shoot DoubleTap in mine mostly, 115gr Barnes.

Never owned a Sig, never wanted a Sig. Sheet metal slides and a very
high price are a poor combination in my opinion. But...at a local auction
gallery a few weeks ago I spotted a P239 in 9mm in excellent condition
with two mags. I knew it had a blackened stainless slide like the larger
229 and had a feel of solid quality to me. So for $350 I won the bidding
and brought it home. My first ever Sig. I haven't shot it yet but it it
doesn't seem to have been fired much so I think it will probably be a
keeper. It's too big for a pocket but compact enough for CC in a belt
holster.

Sigs are interesting. I have 2 P226's, an old West German and a newer one (gifted to my son).

Yes, the WG has a "sheet metal" slide, it's cosmetically challenged, pitted in places and with a crappy home cold-blue job. It rattles if I shake it.
The newer one has the solid stainless slide with a Nitron finish, it is super tight, and sure looks nice.
Both have night sights, faded but does give me a good 3 dot picture.

I gifted the newer one to my son because he likes it, and ultimately I still prefer the older one. I can shoot that one as well as any gun I have, and it doesn't give me any trouble at all.

I also have a CZ99, a near-clone of the P226 and a contemporary of the older one, and the Sig, despite being in rougher condition, is a far better shooter. The trigger is sublime, and the balance is perfect for me.

Thats a great find!

Thanks!

Now I need to find some new night-sights as the stockers are dim.

Not sure if I want to go with the SigLites or the Trijicons, but I like the Trijicons. Also need to find someone to install them- not wanting to tap on the tritium sights.
