I recently handled my daughter-in-law's SIG P-239. It's stock, save for Hogue grips, which are very comfortable.
If you own a P-239, please tell us about you experience with it. Do you like it, or not, and why?
If you are a truly skilled shot, and have shot it slow fire on bullseye targets, what was the range and the accuracy? (Those who boast on the Net of their six-inch groups at 10 yards need not reply. )
Is it reliable? I wouldn't be buying a "games" gun, for action matches and such. If I have to fire it other than for routine practice, it will be to save a life. Probably mine...
Overall, are you satsfied with it, and is your experience with firearms wide enough to compare it to other guns?
If it is dropped, will the hammer spring (?) probably break? I think the German police P-6's often had that problem. Some departments even altered the hammers to let the armorer know if the gun was dropped.
What else should I know before buying a P-239?
Thanks,
Lone Star
