Sorry for not getting back to you sooner, but I believe the question in regards to Sig P239 mags was answered.
No problem, and yup, it has. Kind of makes me wonder if SIG had some issues with the .357 SIG feeding correctly in the P239. My P229 mags are marked ".40 .357". What could have changed with the P239 to cause them to issue separate mags? Rhetorically queried only.
Oops, it is beyond wine-O'clock. Time for refreshments.

Kind Regards,

Tom

SIG makes different mags for 40S&W and 357SIG for the P239. The mags are stamped with the caliber.

You can use the 40S&W mags for 357SIG. The 357SIG mags are pinched in to follow the contour of the 357SIG round and they will not take a 40S&W round.

Just some FYI stuff.

All the other SIGs use the same mag for either caliber. Don't know why the P239 has different mags.

OE,

Thanks for the info. Very odd indeed. It would appear that using the .40 mags would be the solution.

Kind Regards,

I have the P229 in all 3 calibers. And while I did get a bunch of P228 mags for 9mm, the .40 mags work perfectly with .357 SIG.
Does the P239 require different mags for .40 and .357 SIG?
Seems odd to me as the case dimensions, other than neck/mouth, are virtually identical.

Kind Regards,

Tom
