I have shot plenty of other 9mm handguns and I think my 239 is the best shooting of them. Though I've got a date with a Wilson soon. The thickness of the 239 is fantastic for a 9 you could shoot all day. If I wanted another option though I would seriously consider the 238.
I was thinking the same thing, to me the 239 is a good bit smaller then the glocks in thickness, which is what made me choose it.
I thought the same thing and looked up the widths of a G19 and a P239. The G19 shows to be 1.18 and the P239 is 1.2... :shock: . I would have sworn the Glock was wider.
The Glock is also slimmer than a 1911 (1911 is 1.28 inches). That said, the 1911 feels a heck of alot slimmer than my Glocks. Something about the design of the Glock makes them feel fatter than they actually are.
it could be teh fact that they have more squared off edges?
Probably. It's amazing how much thinner the 1911 feels when it is in a holster as compared to the Glock. I had looked up the dimensions previously, but after putting each in an IWB holster, I had to measure the two guns myself because the perceived thickness of the 1911 is way less than the Glock (at least for me).
