Can the Sig 239 be thumb-cocked?

[lonegunman]

I havent handled one of them, and from photos, I cant tell if the hammer is big enough to thumb cock, or not? Is this a traditional DA/SA design, or DAO

[archer215]

i think as long as its a da/sa desighn it can be but if its dao it cant :D you can tell on the sig if it has a decocking lever its da/sa if it doesnt have the lever its dao i was looking at a 239 and 229 yesterday at the gun shop nice feeling guns:D may have to get one some day:D

Compared to HK USP Compacts, the Sig P239's hammer is easier to manual cock. It's not something that I would want to do with either design under stress, though.

There's no problem thumb cocking a SiG 239 but you sure don't want to carry it that way.

I have seen a couple of shooters trying to thumb-cock P229s under IPSC and IDPA match conditions so as to avoid the tough DA first shot. Not pretty or fast.

I do wish Sig-Sauer would make a gun with properly located thumb safety for cocked-and-locked use.

The DA 239 can be thumb-cocked and quite easily too!!

[J.R. Bob Dobbs]

Yes. Not quite as easily as the Sigs with full-size triggers, but my thumb does not slip off the short 239 trigger. P239/357 is my favorite pistol :)

[M1911]

Yes, it can be thumb-cocked.

You can,But I don't advise doing this for carrying.
