Sig 2340 vs Sig 239 (.40 S&W)

Looking for new carry weapon. Have expanded my search based on some advice here, and am now debating (among other guns in either .40S&W and .45ACP) between Sig 239 (aluminum frame) and Sig 2340 (polymer frame). A little concerned about Sig's foray into polymers, although my experience with other polymers (mostly HK USP fullsize, .45ACP) has been good. I have used Sig 220 regularly for past 2-3 yrs but find it a little large for true concealed carry. Anyone out there used both these guns and have opinions?[?]

    I have had both. They both shoot well. I found the 239 rather heavy for its size and shot capacity, but found the 2340 a little big for CCW. But I kept the 2340, and do CCW with it when I wear a coat. Otherwise I carry my Kahr PM40.

    I carry the 239 in .40 everyday, I used to carry a 229 in .357 sig, but that got heavy after a while, I think the key would be to get the right holster, I use a pancake style and find it very comfortable. The single stack design of the 239 makes it an ideal choice for everyday carry, and choosing the right holster would be key in comfort. Good luck...

    GO BIG ORANGE !!

    Both guns are EXCELLENT, but not interchangeable.

    For concealment, the not goes to the P239, in any caliber.

    The P2340, while light, is a pretty big pistol, and might be hard to conceal unless you are a big guy.

    For the record, if I was considering a P2340, I would also look at the P229. I carry a .40 caliber P229 every day and love it.
