Sig 938

[cbright1]

I have been considering a Sig Sauer P938. Everything I have read so far is positive. Does anyone have a bad review of this gun?

The only bad side is the trigger. Cheap, plastic one that for some shooters pinches bottom of your index finger.
Recoil assembly is somewhat of pain.

As for functionality, it's a great CCW/pocket pistol in 9mm cartridges. Eats various loads and bullet types without issue.

I bought one and ran it through its paces with no complaints.

Picked up the SAS, it is tiny but shoots nicely. I may need to pick up the mags with the pinky extension later.

Just got mine (extreme version) out to the range for the first time. Shoots sweet and snappy! Love it! I've read about a few common issues: screws can come loose on certain grips. An easy fix with a good thread locker. A few lost the guide rod during fire. Some broken extractors and fast wear on the plastic main spring housing. Hogue offers an aluminum replacement. I haven't shot mine enough to experience any problems. Everything I ran was flawless.

When you get yours, just work the trigger and do lots of dry fire drills. The trigger will improve slightly.



Here's the 938 with its big brother, a Sig P220 Equinox Carry. I just upgraded the grips on the 220 to match baby bro's.

My extreme has run flawless. I used some blue Loctite on the grip fasteners, and they don't come loose now. I don't think the trigger is bad at all for a defensive carry gun. Right now it's my go to IWB gun.

I love my SAS. I don't find the recoil snappy. Like others have pointed out the trigger is pointed on the bottom and can be a little hard on the finger. Some have filed down the point but I haven't found the need to yet. I just adjust my finger a little higher on the trigger. It's surprisingly accurate for such a little gun.

I wondered what I was doing wrong when I was putting the recoil spring back. Holy crap!

I have not had a chance to fire mine yet--only handled it with snap caps. While not the best trigger around, it feels fine to me. I don't feel the pinch some people report.

There are fairly uncommon reports of failures with 115gr. Hence I plan to use 124.

It can do +P which is nice for this size.

Try to go new or recently manufactured. The build quality is reported to have improved over time.

Good way to go if you want a pocket 9mm. There are other decent options at a lower price but I don't believe they are of the same quality. prefer the single action with thumb safety and the included night sights are a plus. The higher end ones (I have an Equinox) have a fiber optic tritium sight in the front.

Wait till you fire it and then you will probably feel the bottom edge of the trigger scrape against your finger.

I shot one and a grip screw fell out and noticed the bottom edge of the trigger. Other than that, it was accurate and enjoyable.

i agree, there are other options for less, but I prefer aluminum frames, not polymer. i know a lot of people like their polymer frames, but I like an all metal gun.

I think I would get the "extreme" as well.

^^^ All of the rounds through mine have been 115gr ball (except for the defensive ammo I have run through it to make sure it cycled). I have had zero problems with the gun.

[dyson]

I had one FTE with 115 grain from Freedom Munitions out of 100 rds. The rest shot well.
