Default Sig 938

Does anyone have feedback on this?
I like the familiarity with a 1911.
Any drawbacks?

I used to own one. Excellent build quality. Shoots softer than a pocket 9mm should. It's akin to a mini 1911, but not quite as nice of a trigger as a 1911.

The only reason I do not own it anymore is that I shoot a different single stack 9mm slightly better. I absolutely do not like shooting small pocket single stack 9mm's, and I don't see a point in owning more than one.

I have one that I EDC. Nice fairly accurate and comfortable to carry. It looks like a 1911 but it operates differently. I really like being able to cycle the slide with the safety on. If you are buying, get a new one. They made some changes to increase reliability. Overall, it's a great little gun!

I EDC one quite a bit, it is very easy carry in a belt holster, my only drawback is I have large hands and even with the extended mag it is slightly to short in the grip. my other EDC is a commander size wilson combat CQB. I have carried a 1911 for 40 years so I like the similar controls. In my advancing years the little sig is easy to pack. After a thousand rounds with no fail of any kind I finally trust it. It is Ok for accurate, it ain't in the same league as the wilson but it is Ok. If I go to the big city it stays in the truck and the CQB is on my hip.

I've got a P938 SAS model with a Gallowly Precision trigger mod. It's never once failed to function perfectly. A real pleasure to shoot. Performs way better than one would expect for a very small 9mm.

I have been looking at those too.
Just recently sold my Colt Mustang since 380 ammo is just too expensive to shoot anymore.
Bought a 9 mm thats a lot cheaper to shoot a lot.
But now I need a pocketable pistol again.

I like mine.

Loaded with 147gr bullets. Pleasant to shoot. 115s too snappy.

I have and regularly carry a Sig 938. Very accurate and surprisingly soft shooting pistol. Mine seems to prefer 124-135 grain ammo with Speer Gold Dot 124 gr standard pressure being my carry load. The pistol rides quite nicely in a pocket holster or my Alien Gear IWB rig. I give it a pretty enthusiastic two thumbs up grade.

I too have one and love it. I don't carry it much as there's usually a revolver in my pocket. A quality semi auto though. Rides in El Paso Saddlery leather.

My cousin has the .380 version and it feels like a great little carry gun. I haven't had the chance to shoot it or the 9mm version yet, but I'm very interested in finding out how they feel in my hands, actually being used.

I haven't held or shot the 938 but I have held and shot the 238 which is a 380. I really liked the Sig P238 and if the P938 is like it then I would think it would be a really liked gun.

I think after reading reviews and not finding many negatives ( other than price ), I'm going to give it a whirl.
I like carrying .45 commanders and believe this would make a good bug.

If you ever get the chance, check out the Sig C3. Commander slide on an officer frame.

That's a nice holster and mag pouch for it. What make are they?

I like it but I thought that I would carry it more than I have so far - it's a little heavy for pocket carry IMO - still, it shoots great and I'm holding on to it - it's sweet looking for sure:
