Gun Descriptions

The SIG-Sauer P228 pistol was developed from the larger framed SIG-Sauer P226 pistol in 1989. This happened in the same way that the earlier P225 pistol had grown from the P220 – basically some length was chopped from the barrel and slide, as well as from the grip. The overall shape of the P228 was made slightly more rounded and so more suited for concealed carry. In 1991 it was adopted by the US Armed forces as the M11 pistol, and is still issued to Military Police and some other units. The P228 is also a highly popular police and civilian sidearm and widely issued to law enforcement forces in Europe and the USA.

The P239 was developed in response to demands from law enforcement and federal agents for a compact back-up pistol ideal for off duty concealed carry. The slim profile of this single-stack pistol provides easy concealment without sacrificing handling. The excellent handling characteristics of the P239 are the result of engineering we call performance engineering and its one of the keys to all SIG SAUER pistols.   Trigger Pull DA 10.0 lbs   Trigger Pull SA 4.4 lbs   Sights SIGLITE Night Sights   Grips Black Polymer Factory Grips   Frame Finish Black Hard Anodized   Slide Finish Nitron   Accessory Rail No
