Sounds descent to me. I know I paid more than that for mine a few years ago. I imagine we'll see a lot of good pricing on existing pocket sigs in the near future. Everybody clambering for the new sig hotness, the p365

Speaking of the 365, does anyone know if production has resumed or when it will? I know Sig stopped production to address some quality control issues with the firearm. Just wondered if anyone had any updates......I would love to have a 365, but obviously after all the bugs have been worked out. Probably going to take some time I would imagine.

I just bought an extreme for$600, all costs included and I thought I did well. Thats excellent. New models are rolling out in a few weeks. It looks like there's plenty of older and discontinued models. I'm picking mine up today. Cant wait to shoot it.

That announcement amuses me. As someone watching the P365 with great interest SiG has not done well with its rollout.

I never thought I would be in the position of wanting something SIG made but considering other options just to make sure I would get something that would work correctly. Last edited by Lohman446; February 20, 2018 at 11:43 AM. |

Sounds like a great deal to me.
Sig's reputation has become somewhat spotty the last few years, mainly I think from rushing new designs too quickly to market. The classic P series pistols (P220, P226, P229, etc) that I've shot and handled recently still seem to be quite good. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another.

For $424, I'd do it.

OP, excellent price on that P238. But, you already know that by now. Enjoy it!

On topic (sorry). I have a P938. At that price I likely would have had a P238

I have three P238’s and a P 938 made from the first issue to approximately one year ago, each of the pistols fires each and every time requested with total reliability.,

Finally got around to shooting my 238 extreme today. Shot 100 rounds of factory and berrys 100gr rn backed by 2.8grs of aa#2. Functioning was flawless. One of the most accurate 380's I have ever shot. I could shoot this gun all day. Its that comfortable. Very pleased with this purchase.

The Sig P238 in several forms has become one of my all-time favorite small handguns. Just a gem. It’s a toss-up between it and Smith and Wesson airweights with maybe a slight edge to the 238 because it’s smaller.

Are people carry the Sig 238 cocked and locked in the pocket?
Since it lacks a grip safety, no fear of the safety slipping to off with a single action cocked in the pocket? I prefer the double action pull of the seecamp, kahr or revolver IMHO.

Absolutely. In a good holster cocked and locked is as safe as anything else you would pocket carry. Come to think of it, the trigger pull on the 238 I have is quite heavy for what it is.

How else can the pistol be carried than cocked and locked? I us a IWB kydex holster for most all of my CC pistols, the holster shrouds the hammer on the Sig and the safety lever fits into its own recess. Although I have never worried about the safety being inadvertently wiped off because of its positive engagement but still I never drop a cocked and locked pistol into a pants pocket without an appropriate holster.

Good deal!!!
I could have bought a new "Rainbow" Sig P238 for $418 from a guy who was shutting down his gun business and kick myself that I passed on it. This is a $600 gun anyway you look at it. That is a great price.

If it were the HD it would be a great deal.
