The numbers are close, but the 230/232 is a more concealable and packable pistol. Esp the blued steel, alloy framed version, which is a good bit lighter.

Several of the guys I work with got 239's when the came out, to carry as a BUG guns and found them larger than they cared for, and went back to 230 series.

The 239's come in real calibers (.40 no less) but you pay for it in size and weight.
