New Sig, 9mm version of their 238

[Plan2Live]

I ran across this and hadn't seen anything mentioned here yet so I thought I would share. Not my cup of tea, wish it was a DA/SA with external hammer instead, but I would think the 1911 folks will like it.

Wow, expensive little boogers compared to the 238's. Always interested to see what Sig comes out with, but with a 220, P6, and a 239- I just can't seem to develop any other 'wants'.

 

[Nakanokalronin]

My current carry line-up is a P238 for pocket, Solo for summer and Ultra Carry II for Winter. If this thing is like a slightly larger P238 I will be eagerly awaiting it's release.

They have a price of $655 here: http://www.thegunsource.com/item/561755_Sig_Sauer_Handguns_Pistols_SIG_P938_9MM_6RD_2_72_BLK_NS_RSWD.aspx

I never pay attention to MSRP prices. It's the street prices that the gun will sell for.

Wow, I've heard a few people complain about the 238/Mustang being in .380 instead of 9mm, myself included. I might have to buy that when it comes out assuming it's only sliiiightly larger than my P238 and still suitable for pocket carry. Otherwise I might as well just stick with my EMP.

Price is meaningless if its not in stock.

By posting on their website they get more search engine hits thereby increasing their rank as a source of viable information.

I love my P238 and would definately consider replacing my P290 with this since I much prefer a SAO trigger.

 

[The Lone Haranguer]

Please, get the bugs out of it before putting it on the market ...

 

[tlatoani]

Sweet. I've been wanting this exact pistol.

 

[RinkRat]

with the recent feeding frenzy for pocket-able 9mm mini`s everyone is finally starting to add them to their products list

and to think what Kel-Tec started with their P11 some 16yrs ago ??? and then some 4 or 5yrs ago with their addition of the PF9, it took this long for everyone else to join in.

come oooon Glock

 

[Jim Watson]

In the absence of pictures, I will guess that it is something brought out of the woodwork by the popularity of the SA EMP.

 

[RinkRat]

^^^ SA/EMP hasn't been out as nearly as long as the P11 which is a bit smaller, I think, wish I had a P40 though.

and at about $1,100. the EMP isn't on my list of must-get's anytime soon.

 

[allaroundhunter]

I love the P238......and I love subcompact 9mm pistols......

And I know what 2+2=

Thank God, all my guns are Rugers.

Well that's unfortunate, we will support you as you broaden your horizons with this new Sig

 

[Madcap_Magician]

They have a price up, but no pics?

 

[bannockburn]

Very interesting but also very pricey. I think I would definitely wait awhile on this one after it comes out on the market, just to see how they do.

 

[RinkRat]

In the mini 9mm pocket-rocket categorized "moused sizes" you have some too chose from ... which have been available for a while as follows

Ruger LC9, Kahr CM/PM/MK9, Sig P290, Kimber Solo Carry, Rohrbaugh R9, Diamondback DB9, Boberg XR9 Shorty, AMT Backup, Sccy CPX1 & 2, and the etc's which there are a few

For over all reviews, longevity, over all consistency and reliability, customer service, parts replacement, and almost most importantly priced value. It seems to me that if you combine all of these categories into one: it is argumentatively very hard to beat a Kel-Tec P11 or PF9

Then for those of us with larger pockets that can from time to time house a monster-mouse there is the Glock G26

 

[Madcap_Magician]

This thread is still worthless without pictures.

 

[Dr_B]

I'll hang on to my P226 with a J-frame backup.

 

[Nakanokalronin]

If the 938 is as big as a EMP, then you might as well just buy a Kimber Ultra Carry in 9mm or an actual EMP. The EMP is thin in the grip but its the exact same length and height as a Kimber Ultra Carry which is basically a 1911 Defender model.

All they need to do is keep the 938 as big as the new Kimber Solo and they'll have a winner.

Here is a my Solo on top of my Ultra Carry.

Here is the Solo and my P238 on top of one another.

Ah, a Hugh Hefner fan.

Just for the record, there were no pictures in the link I provided, just text. To my knowledge there are no photos available anywhere for this gun at this time. We don't have pictures of gravity either but it is still very useful.

I think my LC9 is the upper limit in size of what I will put up with in 9mm. The creepy Kahrs aren't smaller that I can see, and if SIG can get a Colt Pony Lite to work with 9mm, more power to them and they will make huge inroads into the pocket 9 market.

Or if you can't buy it to begin with - CA rules are teh $uck.

I think this will be nice. I bet it is basically the Colt "Pocket Nine" but in SAO. If so, it will be way smaller than an EMP or Colt agent.

We don't have to pay for gravity. Now if Sig is willing to give these away for free, then no pic will do just fine.

I got burned on a P238. Mine runs pretty well now, but I don't really trust it yet.

I have been soured on Sig because of the P238. I doubt I would look at the P938, or any other Sig because of the experience with the P238.
