Though mostly positive, I have received a number of "don't buy" type messages on this gun, but just about EVERY ONE involves issues that all my research indicates have been resolved. THANKS for your advice.

UPDATE: Had a couple of questions, and just got off the phone with Sig support. He confirmed the following: 1. ALL P238's being delivered to dealers now have incorporated ALL of the mods / fixes developed over time to deal with past issues. 2. ALL P238's do indeed have the stainless steel slide...

Update:

Yes, the salesman noted that the HD was "all" stainless steel. I asked him what benefit that was, and he indicated that it would reduce the recoil (nothing about being able to use "hotter" loads). Since my wife shoots my P220 Sport .45 just fine, I don't think the recoil is much of an issue...

Thanks, hAkron. rcmodel, you said, "If I was going to CCW a gun weighing nearly 25 oz loaded all the time, it would be a 9mm, .40 S&W, or .38/.357 Mag, not a .380 ACP." Why is that? Increased stopping power? Cheaper ammo?

Okay, thanks to your advice (both positive and negative), I have decided to go ahead with getting a P238 for my wife for Mother's Day. As unbelievable as it is that this former fanatical anti-gun person would like a gun, it's almost beyond imagination that she actually wants to CARRY it (this is...

"Let see"? Don't need to be a reporter to see the problem there. Reporters desperately need their editors to ensure correct grammar, spelling, and syntax. Regardless, I truly do not understand your point. Do you agree that reporters who are in a war zone writing about a war should attempt to...

Dbl0Kevin's message above makes a lot of sense to me. I've never read a story in a newspaper about which I had significant inside knowledge that did not contain some obvious (to me) factual errors. I can't explain why attempts to inform reporters have been unsuccessful, but no reporter I've...

Finally got my wife to go to the range with me (historically, she's been almost hysterically afraid of guns). Not only did she not freak out, but actually handled my Sig Sauer P220 Sport (.45) quite well. I've given her lots of positive reinforcement, and now she actually wants us to get our...

Lots of help again... Thanks As always, you guys (gals?) are GREAT. This is by far my favorite place to go for gun advice. Perhaps I wasn't clear enough in my original post. I have NO INTENTION WHATSOEVER of getting rid of my Sig P220 Sport .45. I love it, and I will someday leave it to the...

"Get a SIG .22 slide for your P220 and you'll love your gun all over again." Oh, never thought of that. That's really interesting.... Makes sense though.

Hi friends, Okay, so I love my Sig Sauer P220 Sport .45, but the cost of the ammo is killing me. This is a gun whose primary purpose is home protection, BTW. Now I'm thinking that perhaps I'd like to get an additional weapon which is 1. sufficiently effective and appropriate for home defense...

I have a GREAT light from SIG that fits on the gun, and which I keep on the gun when it's in the safe and available for home defense. It has a light, a strobe, and an independent laser. The strobe is EXTREMELY disorienting for anyone, especially someone in the dark, who happens to stare at it...

As always, you guys are amazing, and I feel comfortable that I now have the knowledge I need to make this decision. Tomorrow, I'll be taking a drive to Virginia Arms in Manassas and having a set of the Trijicon Bright and Tough Night Sights installed. For those who offered different...

Thanks, Son of Ezra. Sounds simple and do-able. I especially like the idea of the different colored fronts / backs. That's probably NOT an idea that would have occurred to me just like this. Question: So, if the gun were taken out of a dark place and held ready for use WITHOUT having been in...

I have a Sig Sauer P220 Sport (stainless) for home defense. I love it, but it comes with plain black (adjustable) sights. In consideration of the expectation that, should I ever need to use it, I would be in a dark place, can someone recommend: 1. What sights, which would work on my weapon...

I am finally ready to take the plunge, and am planning to attend the Gun Show in Chantilly. My initial effort will be to find (at a reasonable price) the kind of gun cabinet that I want (quick, electronic, fingerprint access). My preference would be a cabinet that can hold 2 rifles / shotguns...

Follow-Up Well, I met ZeSpectre on Thursday night at the NRA Range here in Fairfax, VA, and after an hour or so spent with him going over the basics one-on-one (which was great and incredibly informative), I took the NRA's test (got a 100%), and went on to the range with ZeSpectre (who I will...

Wow I'd like to thank each of you personally, but that's simply not possible. One of you who lives in the area has offered to take me to a small arms range, and I'd like to take him up on that. There's a LOT of good advice posted in response to my original post, and while I've read each and...

Hey, this is great Well Fellas (Gals?), I belong to a number of similar forums (similar in mechanism, NOT in subject area), but have to say how impressed I am to come back here after my initial post and find all these truly helpful responses. Thank you, thank you for welcoming me in such a...
