If I get a P239 it will be the SAS Gen2 two-tone, and it will be wearing custom horristes burl grips.The factory grips on the P239 are a little skinny for my taste and I replaced them with a set of Houge checkered coco bolo's. They give the right amount of "swell" in the palm. To bad SIG doesnt offer a set of factory grips with the swell too, I'd be all over them.
Sig P239 .40 or .357?

Which would you prefer for CCW'ing the P239?
Using Double Taps info to keep things apples to apples more or less, The 125 grain 357SIG out of a 3.5" barrel is running around 1415 fps. Their 124 grain 9mm+P is running 1295 fps out of a 4" barrel. The 357SIG jumps to 1450 fps out of a 4" barrel.One thing I worry about is whether or not the barrel on the P239 is long enough to bet the .357 up to a speed that makes it worth choosing over 9mm.

I'll probably do that, but what I'm mainly concerned with is what to put in it when I use it for CCW. I'm wondering which round has greater stopping potential out of the 239.Buy the P239 in .40S&W, then you can use a drop in barrel to shoot .357SIG with the same magazine
