I think I'm going to sell my Berretta 84F, nickle-plated Cheetah (0.380) and buy a new special run Sig 239. It has the two-tone finish, SAS slide, night sights, SA/DA and short reset trigger. Caliber is 9x19. It's not cheap at over $700. The Cheetah is nice and it uses 13 rd. magazines, but it is big for a .380 especially in width, has no night sights or Crimson Trace grips available and my wife cannot rack the thing.
The Sig 239 is one of my primary carry guns (I really like the 220 as well, but the frame can be a little large for CCW at times). Great gun--you can't go wrong with a SIG.
Probably wouldn't sell any guns at this point, though. I'd just keep the Beretta and buy the new Sig. Maybe buy some extra ammo too while you're at it.

The 239 will be quite a bit more money than the Cheetah as you pointed out but if you can swing it I'm sure you'll be happy you did.

I know what you mean, but I have more than I can shoot and that is too many. I am trying to figure out what else I can sell. I already have a lot of ammunition.
I wonder if I should get a regular model instead. There's a factory CCW package for about the same price as what I described--all black--except it has an extra magazine (3 total), a nice paddle holster and a double magazine holster. That's at least $150 worth of extra stuff.

Don't forget night sights...thats worth 100. alone.
I went with the Custom Shop anti-snag model with quick reset trigger. I'll get another magazine soon. I like to have three. I'll try to post a photo soon.
Wow, what a shooter! I shot it for the first time last night. I was shooting a 5" wide target at 30 ft. Even single-handed I had no trouble keeping the hits inside the target. I know that isn't match-accuracy or anything. I just mean it was very easy to aim and comfortable to shoot. The slide is a lot heavier than it looks. I can't say I like it better than my custom-tuned Browning HP, but it is exceptional for a compact model.
i know alot of people regret selling guns unless they hate them
Well, I'll have it for a little while longer anyway since I still have about 600 rounds of 0.380 ammunition. I ended up selling another gun that actually paid for the Sig.

but they do look real pretty
Well it's reliable, DA/SA, and pretty accurate. It's handle is actually big enough to shoot it comfortably. And it's not made of plastic. 13-rd. magazines means it packs more of a punch than those tiny, single-stack models.
