The 239's are excellent guns, you would be hard pressed to find a negative review on one. While they are a little large for their capacity, they are absolute tack drivers and a joy to shoot. I would carry one in a heartbeat. Also if you are used to your 226, and like the 226, the 239 will have the same manual of arms.

I carried one for years but retired it about a year ago. It's a well made, reliable and a joy to shoot. It's heavy and has pretty limited capacity for its size. However, like any other gun, with a good belt and holster it's no problem. I carried mine in a Galco summer special or a comptac paddle holster. I say go for it.
I've carried a P239 for many years. Originally in .40, I got a Barsto 357 SIG barrel and mags for it.
Mine is DAK. I have to carry a Glock at work, so, I intentionally stayed with a no de cock no safety trigger system. But, that's just for me. The DA SA is fine too if that's what you are used to.
Off duty I carry appendix. (I wont carry a glock appendix) For me, the P239 rides perfect. I've tried a lot of other guns but always come back to the P239.
If you look at the stats, a P229 is just a tiny bit bigger, but carrying it the way I do, it's radically different.
The P239 is exactly just big enough to shoot like a full sized gun and just exactly small enough to carry comfortably.

First time I held a 239 it was like Cinderella and the shoe or Goldilocks and the little bed or something of that nature. Angels sang and the light burst through the clouds and a single, poignant tear ran down my cheek. It may be a bit big when you compare it to other carry guns, but in the scheme of things it is really quite compact and holy crap is the thing comfortable... I love the 226 and 229, but I have relatively small hands and something about that rounded single stack grip really gets my engine revving.
