Any experience with this gun?  Very interested in one, found a dealer that has them for $799.  Is that a good price? Looking at .40 SW caliber.
Is it worth the extra $$$ over the standard P239 .40?
thanks,

I wouldn't pay extra for SAS.  If you are putting the gun in a holster it doesn't matter if they round off the slide.  What does matter is that the melt treatment gives you less grip on the slide for reloads/malfunctions.  If you carry without a holster next to your skin it might make a difference, but the standard sigs are pretty smooth anyway.  And 799 is super high for a 239.  Under 700 is more realistic.

The basic 239 is under 700.  I have been eyeing that one up as well. Good point on the holster observation.  Also, from what I find, the mags are around $45 a pop.  Damn, for German steel?!? I am seriously thinking about adjusting my options.

Appreciate the feedback,

The SAS has a short trigger.   Is that a drop-in for the base p239?

eta:  also, I believe the SAS price includes NS.

I have the P239 SAS Gen 2 in 40SW. Great gun but you can do better than $799. I bought mine for $720, and that was for the two-tone with night sights. If you are going to carry with a good concealment holster, go with the standard P239, don't spend the extra money. But it does shoot dead on. I hope this helps.

I'm looking at picking up a GenII 239SAS two-tone for my wife. The SAS models do come with night sights, short trigger, short reset trigger (SRT) and the melt job.
