I bought a 238 as SSE came to a close (equinox finish, off roster) and the thing has been a real head ache. EVERY time I have been out shooting I look down to find out that a grip screw has been lost. The first time it happened sig sent me two replacement screws and told me to use locking tape on the threads (which I didn't do yet thinking I might change the grip at some point...)
Now, I was shooting at BLM land the other day and about 3 rds into it I realized the damn front sight had gone missing! Spent the next half hour sifting through dirt and casings around where I was standing and came up empty handed. Haven't come at sig yet to see if they are going to replace the sight or if I am on the hook for a $70 part.
But it just seams crazy to me that literally every time I have taken this thing shooting something has come flying off it. Throwing this out there to see if its an isolated incident with my firearm or if other 238 owners have had similar problems.
Not sure what to do with the damn thing. Haven't shot it enough to feel comfortable relying on it, and I certainly can't afford to replace parts every time I take it shooting, but i'd feel awful passing a lemon on to the next guy.

Honestly, i'm not the most diligent person in the world when it comes to maintenance, I just shoot em, scrub em and put em away... so maybe I could have caught the sight issue with some more care on my part. On the other hand, that thing was about as accurate as a 3" barrel can be (until the sight disappeared) so I had no real reason to suspect it was loose.
