What ever you get, put a short return trigger on it if it is available...theres a difference for a few bucks!

essentially... the P239 replaced the P225 as a single stack 9mm in the marketplace. the P6 availability that has occured in the past few years brought the P225 back to the limelight; perhaps a limelight it never fully enjoyed in the past. the die hard P225 fans never abandoned ship. many P225 fans find the P239 to be "awkward" in balance and ergonomics in general. The P225 is known for it's user friendly ergonomics and grips that feel "just right" to those with small hands and large.

the P239 can handle the higher pressure +p loads when used for defensive purposes.

the P225 should not shoot those loads for defensive purposes; +p ammo causes the slide to move too fast... and creates the potential for the next round not being chambered for next shot.

we all know we shouldn't shoot a steady diet of +p in a handgun with an aluminum frame... but +p has no purpose in the life of a P225.

personally... i wouldn't mind considering an early german model P239 in 9mm. however i own a w german P225 and will sit pat with my hand.

I don't think that is an option...you'll have to choose between a Short Reset trigger or a Short Trigger

One addresses how far you have to reach to correctly place your trigger finger on the trigger face and the other addresses how you have to release the trigger forward, after you initial trigger press, for the action to reset. I'm not sure they offer the SRT for the 225/P6

I did notice the short single action trigger! Compared to my Glocks.

That's not what "short reset trigger" is. Short reset trigger makes it that much easier (or shorter) for the trigger to reset for the follow up shot. It's not the "uptake" or "creep" before the trigger breaks. It's the "reset" distance after the trigger breaks that's shorter.

I don't have that in any of my Sigs because I've heard that once you get used to it, you will have to get it for all the Sigs you shoot or else they will feel different. I have a few Sigs that I shoot and I don't want them to have different trigger feel.

Any ways, back to your original post. I handled a P239 at the store. I hated the blocky front strap. It felt like I was holding a 2x4 in my hand.

P225 has the best ergo for me.

P226 (9mm) is the easiest to shoot.

P220 (45) combines the above two.

P228 feels like a fatter P225.
