If you carry a P239, what holster set up are you using? Is it comfortable in summer weather? Need some help.
Don't carry the 239 much anymore (really liking the Kimber), but, when I do I use the Galco Summer Comfort, name says it all.
The Summer Comfort is an IWB rig and is reasonably comfortable. I carried the P239 for two years and also used a Galco FLETCH holster for the P229. It was a really nice OWB holster that held the gun tight to my side. Whatever you get, spend the money and get one made for your pistol in leather or kydex. I really hate Uncle Mike's nylon rigs as they are bulky and inexact.
I've got a P229 in a Galco Royal Guard. Great holster and I'd bet they make one for the P239. The Summer Comfort is also very popular as well. Agreed that you need to get a holster made for your gun and not some generic one-size-fits-all nylon POS. You have a very nice, and expensive gun, don't cheap out on the holster for it. Also remember to get a good gun belt, it will make the world of difference.
Just wondering -are you using the gun in .40 S&W or .357 Sig?
+1 there, A holster made for the gun is the only way to go. You'll spend way too much time shifting and/or adjusting to ever call it concealed carry.Quote:

I use a horsehide MS VM2 to carry my 9mm P239 year round,I use a MS single mag carrier and a Don Hume lined belt also.
I really like my Galco IWB for my P239.
+1 Galco Summer Comfort
Crossbreed Super tuck I have never found anything more comfortable :smt1099
Take a look at the "Texas Conceal Carry" holster from D.M. Bullard. Works great in either strong side or cross draw.
Big second on Bullard. I have the Dual Carry which provides outstanding year round carry.Quote:
