I would most appreciate any thoughts/comments regarding the SIG 239 in 9mm.

. . . although I never really cared for how the front strap is perfectly flat rather than rounded.

I'll bring up a couple of alternates.
The S&W 391x/395x/910 series are comparable in size, capacity, and construction, but are slightly smaller and lighter. They are also discontinued and are generally quite sought after, but they tend to be a bit less expensive than the SIG. They have a more conventional slide stop, but the triggers are not as good as the SIG, the grip ergonomics aren't as good IMHO, some people dislike the slide-mounted decocker/safety on the DA/SA models (the DAO versions lack them), and most were made with a mag disconnect, although it's very easy to remove if you have basic gunsmithing tools and skills.
The Beretta 92FS Compact L Type M is a somewhat obscure competitor, albeit also rather heavy and large for its capacity. I don't think they're technically discontinued, but Beretta seemingly only makes them when the moon is aligned with Pluto. Metal-frame single-stack DA/SA or DAO automatics are truly a dying breed.

Now that Sig has discontinued them I would worry about parts availability in the future.
