Sounds like you had a real good day with that new pistol. That was some good shooting so keep it up. Good luck with that new gun.

thanks baldy,i shot my xd that day also and it did its usual fine job,but to tell you the truth the action on my new sig makes all the other guns ive shot almost look like toys. my sig is black nitron all metal.

Thanks for the range report. I thought I was looking for a new compact 9mm until my wife informed me the next 9mm compact gun we buy will be hers.

I was thinking about an XD, and had also been interested in the Sigs, but haven't fired one yet.

I'll have to make sure she shoots one before she makes up my mind.

WM

I been looking at the XD compact myself. I shoot my son in laws full size .45 XD all the time and I like it real well.

they are both great guns my xd is a service model 40 cal,to big for me to use for a carry gun.although i have used it for carry before.i was hitting the target just as well w/ my xd,but i expected to since it is the longer gun.i had 2 failure to feed that day w/my xd but i think it was because i was using a lighter bullet than i normally use,its never happened before. my sig had no failure of any kind. i think your wife would like either one for a carry gun,but beware if you buy the sig 239 9mm in black nitron for her you will be lusting after it.......l.o.l.

So what else is new? I seem to be lusting after a lot of things she has ...






BTW: Got any pics?

WM

no pics yet,ive got to get a digital camera so i can show some before and after pics on my sig. later im going to put meprolight sights on. front green and back yellow, then checkered rosewood grips from hogue. right now i just have a slip on hogue grip w/finger grooves.

Wow accuracy at 25 yards with a compact 3.6" barrell??!! In my post in the Sig sub category about accuracy problems I was told not expect any kind of accuracy at 25 yards with my 229 which has a bit longer barrell than your 239. Is your 239 DAO? You must be a long practiced shooter. Sounds like a great gun.

no. up in arms my gun is da/sa and i always have been a pretty good shot,but that was a long time ago. as i said when i joined this forum i have only recently gotten back into guns and shooting.actually this is only the 3rd time ive been to the range in years.thats why i was so surprised at the sigs performance at 25 yds. here is a link to the sig p239 that i bought.....http://www.sigarms.com/Products/Show...x?categoryid=1

i don't know who told you not to expect any accuracy. most people told me on sigforum it would probably take about 300 rounds before my gun became accurate,but they weren't surprised to hear that it was very accurate right off especially all the people that own 239s. your own gun should be just as accurate as mine if not more so,but they did say that w/most sigs the more rounds you put through them the better they get. i talked to many people on sigforum that use the 25yd target w/thier 239s. i must say however i was bracing my 239 on my range bag most of the time on the 25yd target.i also hit head shots easily w/my 40 cal xd from this same distance 4 inch barrel
