SIG SAUER P239: THE GUN YOU LOVE, BUT DON'T NEED
About this video
Colion reviews the Sig Sauer P239 chambered in 9mm, expressing a strong emotional attachment to the firearm despite acknowledging he has no practical use for it. He praises the gun’s ergonomics, trigger quality, and heavy-duty steel construction, but notes significant drawbacks for concealed carry due to its weight and limited capacity. Colion compares it unfavorably to more compact options like the Glock 26, which offers more rounds in a smaller, lighter package.
Key takeaways
- Colion describes the P239’s ergonomics and trigger as excellent, making it enjoyable to shoot and dry fire despite difficulty staging the trigger
- According to Colion, the steel frame construction makes the gun too heavy for practical concealed carry, especially given its capacity in 9mm
- Colion explains his emotional attraction to the firearm conflicts with practical considerations, as alternatives like the Glock 26 offer better capacity in a smaller package
