SIG P238 - Slide width question

[RHann]

Blue guns for P238 are offered in two slide widths (11/16 & 13/16).

Does anyone know which is correct for a P238 HD? I just jailed one and am wanting to make a couple of holsters for it during my 10-day cooling off period!

Thx,
Rick

The Sig site shows the width of all of the p238's at 1.1 inches (28mm)...

I just measured the slide on my non-HD 238, and it's 13/16ths. But I don't have an HD model to measure. I can't imagine it's any different than the non-HD model though, as I believe the frame metal is the only difference between the two models, and dimensionally I'm pretty sure they're identical, so I'm surprised that the blue guns are offered in 2 types. I'd be further surprised if the HD's slide was 1/8" skinnier than the non-HD's slide.

The 11/16 was the older models before the HD came out. Now all p238's have the 13/16 slide HD or not.

Thanks for the responses guys.

Tnyvillegas:

Your link pretty much nails it down. I've ordered the blue gun, confident that it's the correct one. Thanks again.
