NEW Sig P238- More Than One Way To Skin A Cat

We are a Seecamp dealer and I not only love Larry's work but carry a LWS32 every day. It's my "American Express" piece. I simply don't leave home without it. Currently the wait time on the LWS380 is 23 months and a dealer can not have more than three (3) of them on order at a time. Ugh!

There is hope however, as a Sig dealer as well, we're excited to announce that Sig Sauer has just released their new P238 pistols and we've got 'em. The P238 pistol is simply phenomenal. Many compare it to the Colt Mustang but it is head and shoulders above the Mustang. It is made to compete for the Ruger LCP and the Kel-Tec P-3AT market but it simply leaves them in the dust. This pistol is built on an anodized alloy beavertail style frame with the undercut trigger guard for comfort and has a stainless steel slide featuring the the Sig slide serrations. The P238 will shoot right along with Sig's big guns, something that the LCP's and P-3AT's just can't do.



Frame Material: Aluminum
Frame Finish: Black Hard Coat Anodize
Slide Material: Stainless Steel
Slide Finish: Nitron or Natural Stainless

Grips: Fluted aluminum or Rosewood
Length Overall: 5.5”
Height Overall: 3.9”
Width Overall: 1.1”
Barrel Length: 2.7”
Sights: Post & Dot Contrast, SIGLIGHT Night Sights
Sight Radius: 3.8”
Weight w/out mag: 15.2 oz.
Mag capacity: 6 rounds.

Come on by the shop in Oak Ridge or give us a call at 865.272.1023 and let's get one of these beauties into your hands.

The one you are showing with the natural finish aluminum grips is the same as the pics on the sig site. However, Looking around the ones I am seeing are being shown with Nitron grips. I like the looks of the one in the pic, reminds me of a Platinum Elite, but if they are in the notron finish, probably not as interested. Also can you shoot me a price?

That's a pretty strong statement. How so?

Other than it's available of course.

From what I heard, Sig has the aluminum grips on back order. The black grips are supposedly just a stop gap so they could ship the pistol. If you ask about it in a month or so, they'll ship you a pair free.

Well, it's been a long time since I owned a Colt Mustang though the last one I shot was only a year or so back, so the opinion I give is from memory but, for one thing Sig has undercut the back of the trigger guard to allow for a much more comfortable fit in the hand than the Mustang ever had. Also the grip angle is better and it is a bit wider (front strap to back strap), again allowing for a better fit.

Secondly, the Sig P238 is lighter weight than the Mustang. 15.2 oz. (unloaded) for the P238 and 18.5 oz., also unloaded for the Mustang. These are both pocket pistols and nearly 4 oz makes a difference.

Thirdly, the Colts were notorious for having feed problems. So much so that many gun shops refused to carry them after a while because they had near 100% return rates that were either traded back or returned to the factory and they had large numbers of disgruntled customers. Colt discontinued the line not because of lack of sales but because they couldn't get the pistols to work right without investing more in the guns than they were willing to do for the profit margins involved. Again, it's been my experience that generally speaking,unless one has done a tremendous amount of work on their Mustang they are hard to run reliably.

Oh, and there is that availability thing you mentioned.

The Sig P238 is still a new gun and there may be some problems lurking out there but as a rule, Sig Sauer doesn't release a pistol without lots of testing for reliability. The ones that I have shot have had no issues whatsoever, been spot on accurate and been extremely comfortable to shoot.

The Colt Mustang is now a keeper due to it's collectability. The Sig Sauer is a keeper due to it's reliability and accuracy.

That's my . That and a buck-eighteen'll get you a cup of coffee unless you come by the shop and then I'll give you one for free.
