    P238 in jail!

    just picked out my third ccw gun. I wanted something smaller for pocket carry, especially with this valley heat in summer when its t shirts only. Any advice for this gun? ammo or otherwise?

    Is this a free state P238 or the so-far mythical CA version?

        I picked up both the sig p238 and the p938 last year.. IMHO its still kinda tuff to pocket carry. I ve been looking for a better holster for it bc most of the holsters I ve seen make the little gun just bulky enough to be a pain to pocket carry...

        The p 938 is only .5 inches longer and pretty much the same in every other dimension... both are awesome very very accurate little guns... surprisingly accurate!

            Sweet, its one of my favorite handguns. As far as things to look at, check the recoil spring to see if it is the old style or the new style. The old style ones would wear out real quick and start to cause jams, which is why they redesigned the spring for the newer ones (mine had to be replaced after only like 100 rounds).

              Thank you all for the advice. And to whomever asked it was listed as law enforcement only. So the store does a single shot exemption.

                Jealous. That's Number 1 on my want list...

                Congrats!

                That gun is so much fun and so nice to shoot!

                  Cool little firearm, just make sure you don't push the ejector too far forward when dissembling or assembling, it's a p.i.t.a. to get back into the correct position..

                    Maybe the California version does exist - just say this in the marketplace:

                      The Sig P238 does exist. I just bought one. A friend of mine has one and loves it. I bought because 4 came in and 2 were sold, so I figured I should get it. My question to all of you, how is the gun? I am having some trigger work done on it to smooth it out. Anything else

                        Congrats, I shot one and loved it but don't want to spend my limited funds on one! If money wasn't an issue I'd snatch one up. The 938 looks amazing too.
                        Buying a safe and sane firework is like paying a hooker for a hug. I do not see the appeal in it.

                          Riceman - did you buy a California version? While the P238 definitely exists, the California version, which has been on the roster for a while, has been scarce if not non-existent.

                            But that is a real OUCH! price.

                            But if it does exist, maybe we'll see reasonable prices in 6 months or so.

                              Congrats you'll love it. Its about as close as your going to get to a baby 1911. Get some good ammo, make sure you get the new version of the mag followers and your set. Enjoy.
