The one I saw was $639.00??? Something like that.
My son (LEO) has the non-Calif approved model and this Calif model had a better trigger. The loaded chamber indicator was on top of the slide and looked a tad ugly. However, its not a "show" gun so for a carry gun it "looked" fine. Stainless looking slide over a dark blue frame. |

My lady keeps one by her bedside. They are very nice and well built, and it's not a bad shooter. Much more enjoyable to shoot than the LCP.

I just couldn't wait for it to land on CA dirt late last summer so I bought the all stainless steel HDW via SSE. NOT FOR SALE. Last edited by nickel plate; 12-11-2013 at 6:56 AM.. |

Can you elaborate?

I currently carry a Kahr P380, and it shoots very accurately, but I hate the long DA pull of the trigger every time I fire it. But I can hit decently out to about 25 yards with it, which is the farthest I have ever tried being at an indoor range. I really like the look of the P238 Desert model.

The 238 is a real good shooter for such a small piece. And the trigger, you'll probably need a 1911 to get a better one. |

Dumas1012,
That price is higher that what I paid for my all stainless HDW at the same store but before all the buying frenzy took place or maybe due to limited production costs if it is a true California model? Seaweed02, I'm pleased with the SIGLITE night sites and the accuracy. A contributing factor may be due to the HDW's extra 5 ounces of S.S. weight. I am not pleased with the 7.5-8.5 pound trigger pull. CAUTION to all of the new P238 owners-after cleaning and when reassembling the slide, push the ejector down ONLY FAR ENOUGH TO CLEAR THE SLIDE. Push too far down and the ejector can become lodged into the framework which according to Sig will require a trip back to them for a factory repair. There may be a home repair fix for this condition but haven't (yet) needed to find one. |

The fix for a stuck ejector is actually simple. Remove the left side grip panel. Flip the gun upsidedown. Push the leg of the sear spring on the ejector till gravity allowa ejector to drop in proper position. And then you're done.

Nickel Plate and Dis
Nickel Plate and Dis,
Thank you both for giving me some info. I really want to buy one of these Sig P238 pistols, and I hope to find one soon. So far I haven't been able to locate one in my area. Maybe soon.

at that price range, I would rather go with EMP for 1000$.

Guess it would help to be a bit more specific, huh?
This is a non-CA version in black with night sights. I would say it shoots very well and is very accurate. We've only put 100, maybe 200 rounds through it, but so far I'm pleased with the accuracy. Trigger is kinda heavy but considering it's role, that's fine. Don't have a Kahr, but imagine the DA pull is very, very long like the LCP. Which makes it not much fun to shoot. But then again, these aren't range toys, right? But it is fun to shoot bunny fart rounds out of since it has real sights, feels like a mini 1911 and is accurate. Next time at the range I'll try to remember to save a target.
