I keep hoping for SIG to come out with a 232 "tactical" with a threaded barrel in .380ACP. I have measured it out and, based on the barrel on the 239 "tactical" in 9mm, it would work.
There was a time when I never thought I would ever be able to own a SIG 239 in this country, and I have now been shooting one in Canada for more than 2 years.
Where there is a will... a little bit of creative thinking and a willingness to make a few changes... there is a way. I salute SIG, HK, Steyr, Walther, Beretta, Kimber and others who have made small changes to their product to get them into Canada. It isn't a choice between the "real" gun or a Canadian version... it is small changes, or nothing.
