SiG Fans - Would a hicap P239 appeal to you ?

[Newton]

No - this isn't a sneak preview of a new SiG, it's just something I have lusted after for a long time now, a hicap P239 in 9mm.

I see a fatter double stack grip not lengthened beyond its current dimensions, and holding maybe 12 rounds. The gun would be otherwise stock.

Does this design appeal to you, would you buy it, or do you see it as a bad idea given the P239's prowess as a slim CCW piece ?

What do you guys think.

 

[cslinger]

To me personally, no. I have a P229 for that purpose.

The beauty of the 239 to me is it's single stack thinness. Not knocking your idea, it is just not for me.

That's ok Chris, that's what I'm looking for, I want to see if anyone would buy it.

Maybe SiG would make one just for me when the AWB expires

 

[cslinger]

I'm afraid you will have to wait in line as they will be making me a commerative SIG 551 with enough parts specially machined in New Hampshire to make it legal. They are even throwing in 6 magazines just for me in celebration of the AWB going away.

So I'm afraid your SIG 240 or 239DS (double stack) will have to wait.

 

[SelfProclaimedExpert]

I don't see how such a 239 wouldn't be a 229 in most respects.

Speaking of which, have you seen a SigPro Compact?

 

[Flashpoint]

Honestly the 239 is perfect for me the way it is. I figure if I can't get the job done in 9 shots, 4 more not gonna help much. The pro compact does sound interesting, I have not seen one.

 

[TheFrontRange]

Same here...the P239 works so well for me in its current state. Yes, though...I DO crave both the 228 and the 229 as well!

What do you guys think.

 

[cslinger]

varoadking....

No really let it out. I think he really want's honest answers without holding anything back. Reach down deep and tell us what you really think.

I would like to hold a SIGPRO compact but I doubt we will ever see them on this side of the pond.

[Newton]

Oh well, back to the drawing board.

Single stack P226 anyone

 

[Bravo11]

One of the reasons I went with a 239 was single stack.

 

[Majic]

I thought the whole idea of the 239 was for the single stack.

 

[tetchaje1]

Double stack 239 = 229.

The glory of the 239 is the fact that it is single stack.

 

[Schuey2002]

Single stack P226 anyone

Isn't that what they call a P220 (in 9mm)??

 

[cslinger]

Isn't that what they call a P220 (in 9mm)??

Yep because in Europe they use the metric system. For example, do you know what they call a Quarter Pounder in Denmark.........A Royale With Cheese.

Sorry couldn't resist, it just seemed to fit.

 

[JeepDriver]

Nope.

I have a 239 and a 228 both fill a purpose and I wouldn't trade either one for anything

 

[SelfProclaimedExpert]

Wait, I got it! How about a 9mm 239 with a square trigger guard?

Or a 228 with a machined slide in .40 and .357?

 

[jacketch]

I'll keep the flat profile

 

[Safety First]

Newton, not knocking your idea but I like the P-239 the way it is, as I purchased it for primary CCW in 9MM, I would not want to see the size increase and diminish the CCW advantage.

 

[Waste of Money]

I would definitely purchase a 10 round 357SIG mag or four to use as my spare mag. I wouldn't want to mess with this weapon in any other way as it is very close to perfect in my hands.
