If you would like to try a 239 in 40 S&W, I'd be happy to have you as a guest at PSC. I don't have one in 9 mm however, and you may like that better.

Chas.

I have also considered the Kimber Ultra Carry, but Top Gun didn't have one of them to rent and compare. I was considering the 9 instead of the .40 because I figured it's a small gun and the recoil of a 40 would be too much. Now that some of the responses have indicated that the Wife Units are shooting the .40 I may prefer it. I appreciate the invite, but living in Tomball and working 7days/wk to get the extra $$$ for the purchase......It would be some time before I could get down to PSC. Although PSC is a range I've been wanting to check out.

As for the other responses....Thanks! That's the great thing about this forum. Ask and ye shall receive. Polite, respectable group of folks too!

I am aware of the Sig reputation for excellence in shooting w/out malfunction also. I rented a Sig and the H&K before going the the H&K USP .45. The Sig felt better in my hand, but I simply shot better with the H&K. I would love to have a Kimber for the same reason. I've got the top-of-the-line gun bug. I want one of each! I've gotten started, and can't stop, despite the lack of $$$!

I have a USP .45 Primary Carry and a Kel-Tec .380 BUG, and am looking for something in between. Both in size and caliber.

I stopped in Top Gun Range for the first time yesterday, and rented the SIG 239 9mm DA only. I didn't know what to expect from a 9mm, and was pleasantly suprised. The sights were easy to see, and the trigger seemed rather light for a DA. Alltogether I was impressed by the little SIG.

I am wanting to extract some of the vast knowledge this forum offers. Has anyone ever had problems with, or a bad experience with the 239? That is in shooting and concealing.

I am a H&K fan, and have looked at the 2000SK, but I would like a single stack/thinner weapon for summer concealment.

By the way, my experience at Top Gun was Top Notch. Nice range, nice people, and I like the Hoffner's .45 double-stack kydex mag carrier I bought there.
