Does anybody have any experience with the sig p239 in 9mm? What are your general impressions of it? How is it for cc? What would be a good price for a used one in very good condition?
Thanks for your input.

+1 I added some hogue grips to mine. I tried numerous holsters to include the VM2. My favorite that I still use is the MTac from Comp-Tac. I bought mine new from Outdoor America on MacArthur for about a $100 cheaper then H&H. If you were to buy a used one I would just look to see what they go for on Gunbroker.
Great Gun! great for cc. i never carried it consistantly but i owned one for about 6 months. loved it.
I just sacrificed a Kahr K9 (with a bit of gunsmithing done to it) to get a 239 SAS in 9mm. I'm honestly happy (even though I miss my Kahr - this thing is probably twice the gun the Kahr was).
Here's a size-comparison:

Its not as thin as the Kahr - and it a little taller/longer, but it handles super-sweet and the trigger (I've got a DAK) is pretty nice in either config.
If you don't want a DAK trigger, you have to get used to double-action first trigger pull and single-action for the next 8-9rds. I don't mind either configuration (DAK takes a little getting used to over standard D/A).
The wooden grips on the older SAS models are too thick honestly, but I'm used to them, and chicks really dig them
Get some Hogues if you want a better feel.
The mags are super-thick metal - the feed-lips do not seem to malform or separate like normal single-stack mags do (the Kahr's mags were a good example - 1911 mags are another good example).
The accuracy is above any other CCW gun I've owned except for the Springfield EMP - it was probably the most accurate sub-compact weapon I've ever fired, but this one is a close second.
Controls are in a natural place for me - I've got medium/small hands, so take that into consideration. The gun shoots flawlessly for me - its very accurate and mag-changes, slide-cycling, clearing malfunctions, etc... are all very easy and quickly executed.
I'm honestly convinced that this one is a definite keeper and its now my primary carry piece.

I'll add that the reason I went with the Kahr K9 over the P9 was the weight created by the steel-frame. The Sig is heavier than the K9, but I actually prefer a slightly more heavy carry platform for my regular carry piece. I like a lightweight J-frame for ultra-light carry, but the 239 is definitely not in that category.
my brother carries a 239 in 40 s&w, i had one years ago but it was a double action only and i dident like it, i shot my brothers and loved it, i was trying to trade for one a couple of weeks ago but couldent find anyone that would trade, i will probably end up with a 357 sig 239 at some point again, excellent quality gun!
