Sig P320 vs P239 in ca?

[Webologist]

Unless you are in law enforcement, the primary way to purchase this is through private party transfer. But on CG prepare to pay a premium price ~$1000.

If you have a parent, child, grandparent or grandchild in a free state, they could also gift one to you through a FFL.

Thanks for all the good info. Very much appreciated.

Any love for the Sig Pro (SP2022)? It's a polymer body Sig that uses the 22X-series DA/SA action. They're good guns and since the market kind of forgot them they're a steal. I just checked and the 9 and 40 are both still on the roster.

The P320 and P239, as has been said, are two different pistols. The P320 is closer to the P228/p229. The thickness and size are very similar. The P239 is a single stack 9mm, as such is thinner and smaller in all dimensions. For concealed carry the P239 is superior. If you can carry the P228/P229 concealed then the P320 is not a problem, as an advantage the P320 is lighter than the P228/P229.

I love the P239 ALMOST as much as my P229; I had em both in .40 but had a conversion barrel for 9mm on the P239 and it shoots fantastic in 9mm also for CCW and all that; and if anybodys selling a P239 lemme know, theres a couple p320s on the forum which are fine reliable pieces too.

P239, introduced 1996 with battle proven mid-70's weapon system design.

P320, introduced 2014 as the striker-fired "variant" of the P250 (2008).


If it's a SIG Sauer, it must be good!

i like the sig 320. here is a pic of my desert eagle

The Sig P239 is one of the most comfortable guns to shoot and I have a 320 also. If you find a P239 in 40, you can easily convert it to 357 Sig or get a 9mm conversion barrel. 3 calibers in 1 one gun by just changing barrels. If you cannot find a 320, you will not go wrong with a 239.

Just got the TLR-4 for my wife's P320. I, I mean, she can't wait to zero it.

That's a nice SWEET Sauer P320!

Enjoy!

Sig P6 should be on your short list. Single stack 9mm that is available in Cali. Absolutely love that pistol. P6 will likely cost you less than 239

239 would be easier to get than the 320 as still on roster. Market place currently has a 239 for sale and price is reasonable. 320 shows up from time to time as private party sale but price is usually prohibitive or out of area. I have only shot 320 in full size 9mm and have too say, what a sweet pistol.

Shop in Pacifica has used 239 with crimson trace grips in display case. No idea of price as I was only shopping off roster pistols that are being sold on consignment.

239 like 320 can shoot 9mm, 357 sig or 40 S&W but without having to dump a lot of cash to make conversion happen. 239 conversion only require barrel replacement ($170 - 200) and possibly a magazine unlike 320 that require $400 conversion kit.

Personally, I think you should buy all three if you can find a way.

I have both P320 and P239 also a P6.

P239 and P6/P225 are VERY similar, P320 is very different. But my vote goes to P320 as it has the best DAO trigger and shoots very smooth.

I like the carry version of P320, its full size mag/grip with compact size slide/barrel.

GL finding a P320, just get your cash ready and find one thats $1000 of CGN market place.

The P320 is an excellent gun at non CA prices. A little tougher to justify if you are buying marketplace prices but still a great gun.
