The New Sig P938 9mm vs. Sig P238 .380

But like anything else in the world, i don't want the first of anything. I'll wait a year or two for the kinks to be ironed out :86:

Question....I've had my wife to the range a few times and now she wants a gun. She things my G19 is too big and the pm9 has too much recoil. She has a hard time racking the slide on the glock and can't do the pm9 at all. At first she wanted an lcp but after a guy let us shoot one at the range we were both disappointed. She looked at the Sig 238 at a gun show not too long ago and the slide is very easy to rack and now that's the one she wants. But we haven't test fired one yet. I guess my question is before we plunge on ahead and get one, is how are they as far as recoil and would you recommend one for her?

I have a P238- primarily purchased to replace my Kahr P380, which is chronically in for repairs. I really like the Sig. While it is not as tiny as the Kahr 380 (more comparable size-wise to a PM9), it is still pocketable. Mine came with tritium sights, and they are excellent. This Sig shoots beautifully and has been 100% reliable for me. Recoil is better than other 380s I've shot, but I've never fired larger 380s like the PPK or Bersa. I can shoot the Sig as quickly and accurately as I can shoot my full-size Beretta, which is really saying something for a gun this small.

Sounds like you want the 938 SAS model then. I believe it's shown on the Sig website. Just a normal 938, but with Sig anti snag carry melt applied.

Still pretty square aren't they?

I have found that, especially with these small guns, some guns look bad in photos. I used to think the Taurus TCP was ugly and had sharp edges based on my impression from photos. I now own one, and those features which seemed to pop out at me in photos aren't there now that I can see and handle it. In fact, it is a handsome little gun, super thin, comfortable in the hand and naturally pointable. The only lever on it is a tiny but easily operable slide stop lever that isn't outsized like the one on the P380, and adds very little to the width of the gun. And to me, another attractive feature is the low price for a quality firearm with a lifetime warranty.

I have examined the 238 in person. It is very attractive and much smaller than it appears in photos. If you haven't, go to a LGS and examine one in person. Your opinion will change dramatically.

It doesn;'t look that bad to e either,(but it also doesn';t bend my crank either) I personally see no reason to even compare the sig to the kahr, as they are totally two different guns. SA VS DAO is a real game changer IMO. I would not put a SA only semi in my pocket, not when I can put the same style of gun there with no levers on the left side and a very safe trigger,and lighter and smaller. Now if ur gonna W
IWB or OWB carry, then maybe cocked and locked in that postion for SOME. I sure don't see any woman accepting this cocked and locked scenario.: Just sayin

It will sell, for it is a SIG and it has it following like kahr people.
