Hey WTA Gang.  Long time no see     Putting up a gun I thought I'd love and.....eh..wish I'd have snagged the .40 that was put up earlier on here.    Went on a wheelgun kick.  Rather than 9mm Beretta and .380 LCP, I been packing a Astra .44 mag snubby, a .357 Ruger snubby with a .38 S&W Airweight as backup.


Located in MT.   Crossposted through multiple forums so timestamp "I'll take it" gets it.

    Prefer postal MO unless I know you or high feedback whereupon I would take PP F&F. 

 
   Up for sale is a Sig 239 in amazing shape.   It comes with a kydex holster (I don't remember the brand) and FIVE factory sig 8 round magazines.    It is in very nice condition.   There is only the barest of a scuff along the "Model 239" marking on the left side as shown in the picture.

  I'm wanting $600 shipped for the package.

Well Grant, I DID offer it here first!

That's a good price.

Mine eventually sold locally, with 6 mags, factory and Hogue wraparound grips, and a short trigger installed with the original trigger included.

I say "eventually", because apparently the local market for .40S&W withered.  However, Montana was one of the few places my LGS said .40 was still popular.  Go figure.

They're a great gun, I just wasn't shooting mine much any more.

And, I REALLY, REALLY Love the .44 Special I replaced it with!

Which one?

Funny story on that.  Several years ago the big bore revolver bug bit.  Decided I wanted a .44 or .45 Colt.  Well, no funds at the time, so I just waited.  And then over two successive weekends scored over 100 cases of .45 Colt brass at the range.  That decided which one would be next.  And in 2014, my wife bought me a .45 Convertible Blackhawk for our anniversary. So I can shoot both .45 Colt and .45 ACP.

However, I still liked the idea of a .44 Special.  My dad had a Target Model of 1950 he bought in 1963 (for $45).  Sweet shooting! He gave it to my step-brother who lives in Sweden, so he actually still has physical possession.  Anyway, a friend told me he was willing to part with some of his .44 and .45 guns, if I was interested.  Which started me thinking about using the Sig 239 to fund a .44 Special.  The rest as they say, is history.  The Sig sold, and the gun he offered was not just any old .44 Special.  It was a 5-screw, late-1955 manufacture Target Model of 1950, in even nicer condition that my dad's!

The .jpg file failed to attach.  Let's see if the .pdf copy works.

Ah, that worked.

I know Skeeter Skelton was fond of 7.5gr of Unique, but I'm not a recoil junkie.  My dad liked 6.5 grains under a 240gr bullet, and so far, I have to agree with my dad.  At our monthly bowling pin shoots we hang a bowling pin at 60 yards for bragging rights, and I can hit it often enough, single-action, standing, that I know it's an accurate load.

   Just posting to say it sold to a friend of mine locally.

   Been a heckuva busy few days.  Pretty dry and had a few small fires and trying to run the fencelines and about to start branding shortly.

    Get a chance I need to take some pictures and post them up in a thread or two here.
