[QUOTE="okienate, post: 862602, member: 2897"] Unless you just want (or [I]have[/I]) to carry a Sig, I'd say pass on it. It is a wonderful looking, reasonably well designed piece, but after shooting one several times, I'm not impressed. It is no more accurate that the LCP, it is heavier and will be more expensive to repair/maintain in the long run. (It's a Sig, what would we expect, even Sig's break from time to time. Magazines, if you can find them, have been running well over $30 a pop, that is IF you can find them.) If the little lady MUST have a small, .380, seriously consider the Ruger. It'll save you some bucks, it is lighter weight and mine has gone "bang" every time I pulled the trigger with another round smoothly in the pipe ready to go "bang" again. Never really considered a .380 for more than a backup/second piece for carry, and second the notions above that a snubbie with a little more punch may be better for this application. Nothing wrong with the P238 in my mind, just expensive to buy and maintain compared to other solid options out there. (Also, you may want to triple check the serial number before buying one, there is a recall in effect for some of the initial builds, this goes for the Ruger as well as the Sig.) Good hunting.
