New Sig 239 9mm

[BenS]

So I've been on a quest for a 9mm 239. I've looked high and low, and I needed one before I go on vacation Saturday. I went to see Phantom6 in Oak Ridge. He had a 239 tactical that I could hold and see how I felt about it. Too bad it was a bit out of my price range, or I would have picked it up from him.

Coal Creek was the only local Knoxville area shop with a plain jane 239, so I bought it there on Saturday. Today was the first time I was able to shoot it. I was over in west knox today for work, so using my free range pass, back to CCA I went.

Let's just say it shoots every bit as good as I remember my old 226 .40 that I had a few years back. I had no trouble placing every round center of mass into the "Man with Gun" target. The full size sights were very easy to acquire and sight up with the target very quickly. Much easier than my old Bersa .380. In defense of the Bersa, it had the smoothed down sights that were not much of anything. However, I can shoot the Sig for about $.24cents per round, as opposed to $1.50 /rd in the .380.

Anyways on to the pr0n...

The 239 seems to be a good smaller gun. I picked up one in 40 S&W today, really like it.

Hey buddy! That's MY gun!

Enjoy a great gun Ben. I have used one for everyday carry for about a year now. Like you said-great shooter. Easy maint, too. Love it.

How many mags came with it? If it was old stock, it should come w/3. Recently Sig began sending them out with just 1.

I have a 239 9mm that I'm thinking about trying to trade for a 239 .40. That way I don't have to buy different ammo...just use .40 in everything I have.

You have great taste, sir.

It has a build date on the box of April 09, so its a new one, and one mag. They sure are proud of their mags. I've seen most sig mags around here for about $50 each.

Regardless, it's an awesome gun and I'm tickled pink with it.
