I carry my Sig P238 with Buffalo Bore's 380+P lead flat point. BB advertises 20" gelatin penetration @ 1072 fps in a Colt Mustang. I chrono'd my P238 with its 2.75" barrel, got 1073 fps. Even with that hot load, the gun is a joy to shoot - comfortable and accurate.
BB shoots and chrono's his stuff in real guns, not test barrels.
I carry the P238 because at its size, weight and concealability, I'll always carry it, pants pocket, with shorts, belt holster, or even in my jacket inside breast pocket when driving.
Sig has a 9mm P938 available now, and it's within 1/8" of the same size of the P238. If it were available when I got the P238, I probably would have gone with that for more choices in ammo and more power in a standard load.
