don't think I was the poster........
but I definitely mentioned at some point having seen one at a Eddy's in mountain view when I was shopping there and another woman was picking her's up...."The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her own pantyhose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound."-- as seen on a t-shirt

Remember, ladies, that the purchase of off-roster guns in the SSE exception, is going away Dec 31. And my FFL says it will be a nightmare beating the deadline if we don't start soon. So tell your Santa's to get with the program.

I wrestled with the same decision. My G19 is too chunky for CCW and I would prefer a single-stack 9mm. My main contenders were the G42 and the Shield. The Shield is a solid choice; yet, it still seemed a little large for what it was. The G42 fit like a charm....but it's chambered in .380. I held off and kept telling myself that I'd wait to see if Glock would announce a single-stack 9. I waited and I waited.
At the end of the day: The one you have is better than the one you don't have.
My new baby, a G42, gets out of jail next Tuesday.
As for the Sig P238 in titanium rainbow finish...........gorgeous!! And, yes, I did consider it. How could I not be taken with it? It's just so freakin' pretty! However, I didn't want a piece with a hammer for this purpose. BUT, that doesn't mean I wouldn't buy one in the future just to have one.

For me, the new Ruger LC9S is the single stack Glock 9mm I have been waiting for. The trigger is amazing. Here it is compared to my Glock 42.

Peek-a-boo
Comparing thickness - grip angles are different so G42 (left) grip appears shorter in this pic but really isn't - I elevated it to make the slides parallel.

Congratulations! I bet you'll love that new G42. I shot one the same night I tried out the Sig and it was a wonderful little gun. So easy to shoot, and so familiar to me, a G19 girl. I haven't met a single person who doesn't love the G42 - male or female.I wrestled with the same decision. My G19 is too chunky for CCW and I would prefer a single-stack 9mm.

Just purely curious - why didn't you want a piece with a hammer? (I ask these questions in case there's some obscure safety risk I'm unaware of. Because who knows.)
Enjoy that great little gun!Comment

She probably wanted to stay away from hammers most likely due to the single action. Folks who conceal like the double action for safety. Single actions on 1911's are very easy to pull. However the single action trigger on the Sig P238 is between 7-8lbs of pull, so to me, it is a non-issue.Comment

"She" is probably perfectly capable of explaining why she made the choice she did.WHAT I HAVE LEARNED SO FAR, MOSTLY THE HARD WAY

Your right, I could guess all day long why a person made a decision, better to hear (read) the persons reason and also have a learning opportunity.
Another reason is some folks are afraid of something getting caught up in the hammer and preventing the hammer to fall properly. It's possible.
Sorry, if I offended any people. I just stated the #1 reason why people don't carry 1911 hammer fired style pistols. I'll back out of this thread now.Last edited by DavidR310; 10-03-2014, 11:18 PM.Comment

Well, the P238 is a single action pistol. I'm not "scared" of that, per se, as I understand that the P238's safety is pretty solid. Some reviews say that the trigger pull is light. Some say the trigger pull is short. Some say the trigger pull is short, but hard. Ok, whatever. I haven't shot one; so, I suppose I'd have to defer judgement there.
I kinda misspoke in my earlier post, the issue for me isn't so much the hammer, but the safety. I'm a Glock girl. I shoot off of the Glock platform for CCW, recreation and competition. Also, in part, the Glock platform is used by my employer. Switching to a platform where I will have to manipulate a safety when my life depends on it the most is a concern. When poop hits the fan, I'd have to remember, "Oh wait, this is the P238."
Because the G42 and P238 are both well-matched choices, what advantage would I really have by choosing the P238 over the G42? Other than the smaller size (and the admittedly pretty finish), I just don't see the P238's advantage in my case. With the G42, I have a gun that shoots well on a platform I am well-versed on, no futzing with a safety on SA, and the G42 costs less money.
Tell you what, I'm in Nevada often enough. The next time I'm in the area, let's go shooting with our babies and we can both tear up the place!
