    Default Sig 239

    Is the P239 barrel interchangable like the P229? If I buy a P239 in .40 cal can I get a .357 barrel for it too?

    Yes, you can swap them.

    I was thinking along the same line when I purchased my 239 in .40 cal.
    Then I priced .357 sig. ammo. Thats where the idea of the extra
    barrel stopped.

    I bought a .357sig barrel for both my P239 and P229. I've only shot the P239 with the .357sig barrel once - 50 rounds. The price of .357sig ammo sucks!
    I'll probably be selling both barrels shortly.

    Do you have to use Sig .357 ammo?

    Yes if your using the .357 sig barrel.
    Note: The .357 sig is a necked down .40 S&W.

    If you buy the 9mm P239 you can not switch barrels because the 9mm slide is not as strong.

    I have a P239 in 40S&W. I tried a friends P239 in .357SIG but didn't like the muzzle flip, too long for me to get back on target. But it was fun to shoot at the range!!!

    Unlike the P229, the Sig P239 requires different magazines for the .40 and the .357 Sig.
