Re: Sig P239 SAS vs P938

siphonic wrote:As a federal firearms instructor who owns and carries a Sig P938 and instructs others on the duty issued P239, I can weigh in on the comparison. First of all, criticisms of the "accuracy" of the P938 are actually just insufficiencies in the practical marksmanship of the shooters. They are shooting low and left because this is a small weapon with a relatively heavy trigger, low weight, and slim profile, resulting in greater felt recoil and, in the general shooting population, a greater overcompensation for that felt recoil. The weapon, I assure you, is perfectly fine and does not shoot anywhere other than precisely where it is pointed when the bullet leaves the barrel. With sufficient training to avoid slapping the trigger (a mistake often exacerbated by transitioning for the first time to a firearm with an external safety, resulting in more rushing) and recoil management training (thumbs forward, snap caps, etc) this will not be an issue. I shoot a 300 qualification with the P938 just like my larger P229 DAK .40. Let's not blame the tool for our own poor performance. .
Update: I put another 150 rounds through my Sig P938 today and I focused on improved sight picture, breath control, surprise break, etc. Amazingly, the accuracy problems went away! I shot about a 2" group on the dot at 7 yards which is great for me. No problems with this little pistol when the shooter does his job. :fire

Re: Sig P239 SAS vs P938

Yeah, I was afraid it was me! As I stated in an earlier post I think it's a fine little weapon; it'll just take me a while to figure out grip, trigger pull, etc.

As a side note I just received the new kydex for my Maxtuck IWB. The P938 is pretty much invisible and quite comfortable. My EDC rig is all set.

Re: Sig P239 SAS vs P938

Actually, I am shooting low and left. I chalked it up to unfamiliarity with the gun. I'm reasonably accurate with my S&W M&P 9c. Still not afraid to use it as my EDC; after all it still is a tiny 9mm.

Re: Sig P239 SAS vs P938

I put another 150 rounds through my P938 today with one FTE. I'm not getting very accurate results so it is surely the pistol... :shock:

Re: Sig P239 SAS vs P938

I just picked up a P938 last week. I put 200 rounds through it Friday without a hitch. So far I'm impressed. I also have a small frame, so size was my major concern. Because I like the thumb safety, it really came down to the P938 or the S&W Shield. I never could find a Shield to play with so I went with the P938. No regrets so far.

One note, it is single action only. I'm pretty new to concealed carry, so it was a little strange for me to shove a cocked (safety on of course) pistol into my britches. The other members on this forum relieved my fears though. I think you'll like it. Good luck!
