Thoughts on the SIG P238

[Iwant1]

Reviews of the 238 are very good. I considered one, but can't bite off on the locked and cocked idea in my pocket - and I'm not sure how well that's gonna work out in a purse in her case. I'd go the Crossbreed microclip route, but they don't make one for the 238 yet.

They're hard to find, but look at a Kahr P380. It's softer shooting than the LCP, has real sights, and is more accurate. I've had both, and there's no comparison. That's not a ding on the LCP as much as it's a nod to the Kahr.

That being said, what about a Kahr PM9 (or MK9)? Only a little bigger than an LCP or P380, and not as bulky than a G26. You can get either with night sights, and the Crossbreed microclip works with them.

+1 I would try a KAHR. I've had two and they are great CC guns. The CW9 is great and the PM9 or 380. I would also strongly recommend Smart Carry. I see women advertised on their webpage but have never heard of any real live stories. Seems this would be a great carry method for women and the KAHR work great. I am currently carrying a Kel-Tec PF9 with SmartCarry.

I have a p238 and I love it, great sights. I have shot a lcp and didn't care much for it. I have a crossbreed mini tuck for it.

And I haven't had any problems yet, feeds cheap monarch brass fine

Frontsight?
Did she get a free chiropractic exam with that?

If she's firearm proficient just get her what she wants...and then thank God you got one who wants to carry all the time.

We got my mom one for Christmas last year and I really like this gun, not for my tastes as far as caliber, but mom likes the light recoil. I'm not a great shooter, but can hold my own and put together some nice groups at 15yd. I have shot the lcp and for my bear paw hands, it was just to small. All in all, good little pistol.

I am looking into getting a SIG P238 for my wife as a purse carry. Has anyone had any experience with them. Are they accurate, how is the trigger pull, anyone have any reliability problems with them? I already know they had a recall for the slide safety but they seemed to be fixed now. My wife does not want a full sized auto because it is too bulky in her purse. She does not want to carry an LCP or LCR or a Smith J frame becasue she does not like the trigger and is afraid it will effect her accuracy any thoughts or other suggestions.

You sure you're talking about a 238? I'm a Sig guy and I don't believe I've heard of a 238. I do have lot's of experience with all kinds of Sig's as I said. I do think a 239 is maybe what you're talking about and they a great gun. I have one. Never had a problem. If you would like to talk about it PM me.

Oh, for those of you that are looking for pocket holsters for the P238: http://www.rkbaholsters.com/Products.htm This site has them, and the price isn't bad for a quality pocket holster.

That said, has anyone tried one of the cheapie Uncle Mike's pocket holsters with one of these?

Has anyone seen these in stock anywhere? That aren't horribly overpriced?

Sportsworld in Tulsa had three of them last time I was there - should be able to find them anywhere in OKC
