What makes the SIG SAUER® pistols the weapons of choice for elite units around the world, and the smart choice for anyone? A hard-earned reputation for getting everything right – design, materials, precision manufacturing, ergonomics, function, safety, accuracy, reliability, durability, maintenance, accessories and options.
When the time came for a new generation of SIG pistols, they didn’t set a deadline, they set a goal. The goal was to incorporate the most advanced firearms technologies and at the same time provide true value. While other manufacturers have gone to plastic frames to cut costs, SIG SAUER has refused to cut corners. This is what makes the SIG pistols unique and compelling option. The Sig Pistols is right on the mark for those looking for an exceptional value in a high performance polymer frame pistol.
This pistol is the P239 perfected. Fits my hand perfectly and increased magazine capacity was sorely needed. Beautiful gun to look at and handle. Best Sig since the P220 in my opinion. - JOHN
This is a follow-up to my earlier February review. I had the special action job done by Sig. It cost $179.00. Man, was it worth it. The double-action pull was lightened to 8 lbs., and the single action to 3 lbs. All trigger surfaces were polished and honed. The feed ramp was also polished. At the same time I also had the short-reset trigger option installed. The travel is 60% less. What this means is you have much faster follow up shots. The single-action pull on my Sig P 227 is now better than that on my Kimber Match. Go figure. I would never have thought it possible. Here's another thing I learned. If you're used to a six-o-clock hold on the target, that is with the front and rear sights just under the bulls eye, you will need to switch out the Sig rear sight from a #8 to a #10. Sigs are designed for combat shooting where the front sight covers the bulls eye. I like to have complete visibility and have nothing obscured. Heck of a gun. - JOE
Okay, the straight skinny. This is the best semi-automatic pistol I've ever shot, and I've shot close to a hundred. Sig/Sauer did it right. The grip is perfect for all people except those with extremely small hands. The first double-action trigger pull is around 10 lbs. which is stout. Believe me, if you are ever in a situation where you need your weapon for survival, that will present no problem. I like the fact that there are no internal locks (just a padlock). I also like it that there are no warnings on the barrel. You know like on Ruger. "Do not stick barrel of gun up your nose with your finger on the trigger while whistling Dixie. Read page 6 of the manual available from Sturm Ruger. blah blah." The night sights are incredible. They stay completely bright all night long. It is as accurate at 25 yards as my Kimber Target II even though the barrel is shorter. They list the barrel at 4.4 inches. That is not correct because that includes the part that extends at the top. The actual length of the barrel is 2.2 inches. Doesn't matter, it points and shoots 1 and 1/2" groups with Federal 230 grain hardball. In spite of it's light weight, 32 ozs with mag, the recoil is not a problem. You will hear people speak of a high bore axis for Sigs, but ignore that criticism. The wide grip on the P 227 helps in this regard. My pistol has no creep in single action mode and broke as advertised, about 4 and a half pounds. The limited space here means I can't provide a complete review. Let's just say BUY IT!!!!! - JOE
I just got back from the range after firing my new Sig 1911 Ultra Compact, Two Tone with Nirtron sights. It shot flawlessly. I also fired my my Colt series 80 light weight 1911 in order to compare the results. Even though the Sig only has a 3.3 inch barrel, the groupings were almost as tight as the Colt with its five inch barrel. The muzzle flip wasn't nearly as bad as I expected. I will most likely replace my Kahr CW 40 with the Sig as my concealed carry weapon. I fired 100 rounds from this firearm today and plan to take it to the range a few more times before I will be completely committed; however, I was impressed with the Sig's performance. - TERRY
Purchased this handgun about 2 months ago. Oh so sweet, the stippling on the grip is like no other(except other sigs).
I read one review where a certain person could not run white box winchester thru his firearm. Well you know that would make
me want to try it. Looked around and low and behold 300 rounds.
Took it to the range the next day with only the white boxes. Did not have one single FTF, FTF,FTE. For this one I rate it 5 stars. The grip,stippling,light 10.4lb pull in da 4lb in sa. - THOMAS
