You know, I made that post a long time ago, but I guess it is fate that you posted on this thread, because I'm actually in the process of getting the money together to but a 239.
I'm glad you like yours. I've owned a 229 and I wasn't real happy with it, and I have a 220 that is outstanding, but I needed a compact gun for carry purposes. Down here in Texas, we can't always dress to hide such a large gun like the 220.
Yeah the 239 I think is the way to go. I have a Walther PPK/S but it's just a little too small. I mean, .380 ACP is ok and all, but I'd feel better with 9mm or better yet, .40 S&W.
