Description
The SIG SAUER P238 is a pocket-sized .380 ACP with the look and feel of a classic 1911. This California compliant model pairs a serrated stainless steel slide with a black hardcoat-anodized aluminum frame for an attractive two-tone finish and a feather-light carry weight of about 15 oz. The single-action trigger, beavertail frame and manual thumb safety give it familiar, intuitive controls for anyone who has run a 1911.
SIGLITE night sights make it easy to pick up the front sight in low light, and gray polymer grip panels keep the profile slim for pocket or ankle carry. If you want a dependable deep-concealment .380 that still points naturally, the P238 is a proven choice. It is available at Brute Dynamics in Thousand Oaks, CA for DROS and in-store pickup.
