Today I went to the range for one reason,the .357sig and it's handling characteristics from the P-229 verses that of the 239. The 239 was fed a diet of Triton's Hi-Vel 125 gr. and Speer's Gold Dot 128 gr. .357 sig. After a hundred fast rounds went through the barrels I was politely asked to retreat to one corner of the range.The sound was over powering to the customers inside the counter areas.The 239 performed with mild recoil, fast follow ups,and accuracy on the 9 & 10 rings at 17 yds.The reports were said to exceed that of the .357 magnum revolvers.The 229 made alot of new friends also but the test was with the 239 more than the 229.I fired over 400 rounds of the .357 sig from these two pistols in less than half an hour.The rest of the time I was relocating or trying to find a lost nickel plated grip screw.
