My first Sig experience

[L Pete]

I must say that I have a P-239 in .40 that is a great gun. I also have a SP-2022 in 9mm that I got because it's a really good gun for the price. But, in recent months, I've discovered the P-250. I love these guns. As a very old revolver shooter, I find the double action trigger to be just the ticket with the P-250 shooting like a good quality revolver, but holding much more ammo. My first was a Compact Model that I bought new that had a really good price point. I got it, shot it, and decided I needed more. A short while later, I found a near new Sub-Compact in a pawn shop that was cheap. It was in the case, but missing one magazine. I guess the unpopularity of this model contributed to the price point. Of course, it came home with me. My first trip to the range with it showed that it's one of these small guns that shoots like a big gun. Needless to say, I'm happy. I've had a couple of other Sigs, but all these that I have now are perfect for my purposes. About the P-938, I just don't like that itty bitty safety on the gun. To me, it may be difficult to find when it's needed the most, and that is why I prefer my Sigs sans the thumb safety. Sig makes a quality product, and they have numerous different models to suit just about anyone's needs. What's not to like with Sig?

I also have a P238. I've had it for over 3 years now, shot 1000-1500 rounds through it without any issues. It is my CCW gun.

Thanks for looking at my little Sig.

God bless,

I know we are not discussing 1911's here, but of the many I have, my SIG Ultra is the best shooter for me. The fit and finish is excellent, and it's a good conceal carry piece as well. What's not to like?

my first gun with a sig name was a 22 Mosquito and it was a GSA look a like, I loved the feel of the gun, ergonomics were great, trigger was awful (14lb sa) and very ammo sensitive

my next was a 9mm p290 and while it was much better than the mosquito it was just not for me,

I have never bought the more popular issues like a 226, and I am sure they are nice guns

but I do very much like my version of their 1911 nightmare carry

I am not one for external safeties on carry guns, but I REALLY want a Sig P320 Compact 9mm with night sites!

I am glad the 938 suits you well.

I have a P320 Compact with night sights. It has been accurate and very reliable. As a 9mm, I put 4300 rounds through it with only two FTEs. The trigger was excellent right out of the box -- no Apex needed! Recently, I converted it to a .357 SIG, using SIG's Caliber X-Change kit, and it got even better, with greater accuracy at longer ranges. Of course I can always change it back to a 9mm any time I want, thanks to its modular design. Changing calibers is easy to do, thanks to SIG's clever engineering. And the night sights are excellent.

Get one, you'll like it!

Though I wanted to love Sig's miniature 1911s, the quality has been concerning to me. I have a P238 and the magazine has been dropping out by itself, and I've made sure I am not hitting the mag release. I only noticed it on the extended mag so far. I installed a Wolff 1911 mag release spring (had to shorten it a bit), as well as using a nail file to shorten the plastic along the magazine's baseplate. Without the sanding, the plastic was making contact with the frame much sooner than the mag would click into place, so you had to smack it very forcefully. I haven't yet tested the attempted fixes, but if those don't take care of it I'll send it to Sig. I also bought a Metalform extended magazine I can try if the Sig branded one still drops.

My girlfriend bought a brand new P938 that had its own alarming issue: Somehow the slide stop lever loosened itself enough to result in the slide actually coming off after unholstering. I've also seen all the reports of the guide rod separating due to its two piece design on the P938, but she hasn't had that issue and I hope it stays that way.

I own/carry a P938 and had the exact same issue with mag dropping out. I ended up filing the extended mag baseplate too! It seemed to solve the problem. I have to say I ordered another extended mag from Sig and their customer service was excellent. I only have about 1100 rounds through mine and feel it's a decent little gun.

Welcome to the Sig world.
I have just recently purchased a 320 Sub Compact myself.
First 9 mm and polymer pistol I have shot or owned.
Have always had revolvers and a Colt Mustang.
I like the one I have and would recommend it to anybody looking for a good self defense pistol.
And yes,the night sights are very good.

I have 5 Sig Factory 938 7 round extended mags, all purchased new in package. One of them was suspect, with a gap between the base pad and the bottom of the pistols mag well when inserted. Rocked back and forth a bit. I called Sig and got a RA number. Week later they sent me a new mag that was 100%. Apparently a few "bad" mags are squeaking through assembly. Not the guns fault. Sig replaces these no questions.
