Thread: Best grips for 239 in 9mm?

Nils are about the same price as Hogue alums. I love the look of wood on a black gun, but may go black on black with Hogues if I go at all. $150 for grips is a bit steep no matter what they are made from...

The only concerns or reservations I have in or about the alums are: (a) they tend to get scratched easily..(if that matters) (b) i've read where the screws on alums are hard to keep tight...(cure/Loc-tite) I like the look and feel of the alums but prefer the G-10's over all. I have two sets of Hogue 226 G-10's and have had a set of the alums for the 226's. I've had Hogue G-10's in the 228/9 and they were great.

Went to the bank to get a money order for my new P239 today (NIB, germany, 9 mm). Teller: Want anything in the comment section? Me: Yes, "P239" Teller: Sounds like a battleship. Me, grinning: Yeah, that's close.

I have owned them before I got rid of my 239. If one wanted Nills, where do you buy them?? Or should I say, where's the best place to buy them? . Mac-Tec Good service. so I assume these are the grips we are talking about?...

Hogue grips. Will give your 239 a whole new feel

I put Hogue rubber panel grips on my P228 and they seem to be just a touch thicker than the stock grips and provide a very nice feel. However... it's been said on the forum that the rubber grips can sometimes cause issues drawing your weapon because the grips can "snag" on clothing. I have no experience with this so I can't say for sure.

G-10's grips are fantastic on my 239 in 9mm. However, they are not fuller or rounder than the stock grips. They do give you a better grip. I'm not a fan of making small pistols bigger by putting large grips on them. At that point you have to ask yourself what the point of the small pistol was.....

After my prgression of P239 grips; Stock Sig wood, too thick, Stock Sig plastic, just don't like them, Houge rubber wrap arounds, felt OK, but too tacky for me, CTC laser grips, grips felt great, but found I didn't need the laser, I finally went all out and the Nill-Griffes. Love 'em, and I'm no longer grip shopping for the P239.. There are pics of the progression in this thread....

I can confirm that stock SIG wood grips are insanely thick. I found a DA/SA pair and they are thicker than my P220 with SIG wood grips on...
