Sig P229 and P239 difference?

Textrout

Sorry to show my ignorance: I think I want a 239 so my wife can also handle it easily. Can someone summarize quickly the difference between the P229 and P239? size, capacity, features, feel, etc.

Short, 239 is smaller model of the 229. 239 7 round capacity in 357 & 40, 8 round in 9MM. 229 10 round capacity. SIG may have uped the capacity on the 229 in some states, not sure.

The Sig 239 is a single stack magazine which makes the grips more narrow. I know it fits my hand much better that the 229. However, the recoil may seem greater in the smaller pistol but if you have a better grip on it, it shouldn't matter. Both are excellent pistols.
