Sig question

[nolo]

Can anyone tell me the major differences in the 226, 229, and 239 models? I am in the market for a new one. I am also trying to decide on which caliber to go with. I am leaning towards a .40 or a .357.

226 is a full size gun, the 229 is a compact, and the 239 is smaller than the 229.

I just got this one...

If I had not gone with that, I would have gone with a .357sig. I think its a great round. Its all about personal preference really.

[nightrunner]

yep, think of it as glock sizes, the P226 = G17, P229 = G19, P239 = G26

P226 in .40 12 rds 7.7L x 5.5H x 1.5 W 4.4 barrel 34 oz

P229 in .40 12 rds 7.1L x 5.4H x 1.5 W 3.9 barrel 32 oz

P239 in .40 7 rds 6.6L x 5.1H x 1.2 W 3.6 barrel 29.5 oz

the .40 and .357 are interchangeable with drop in barrels. you use the same mages for both.

I am probably gonna have a P229 Equinox in .40 for sale soon . some pics can be seen here on sig's site.

I really like the Blackwater version. That's what I am leaning towards. I like the extra round or two with the 9mm. There isn't much difference in size between the 229 and the 226. I liked the feel of the 229. What do you think of this at Buds:http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/21_28/products_id/50975

P226 and P229 both use double stack mags. P239 uses a single stack magazine and is better suited for people with small hands. Sigs are great guns in all models. They are contagious. You'll want another, then another.

i'd try to find a non-cali model with the 12 rd mags but it's a heck of a price. Sig mags are gonna run you $45 - $50 most places so take how many come with it into consideration when buying

I'm too lazy to check, but bkelm may still have his P228 for sale, and he's in your neck of the woods.

I don't like the sights on that one either. I want one with night sights.

Being single-stack, the 239 is also somewhat easier to conceal.

Have you looked at the Sig Pro SP 2022 ?

For the cash this is hands down the best Sig Made!
