Are you sure about that?

On both my P238 and P938, as well as others I have handled I have been able to rack the side with the safety engaged, provided the hammer is cocked.

If the hammer is down when the safety is engaged, you can't rack it because the hammer won't move.

I just tried racking the slide with the hammer cocked and it DOES rack. I tried with the hammer down and it DOES NOT rack. Thanks for the clarification regarding the hammer Pawpaw.

I occasionally pocket carry the P938 with factory rubber grips in a pocket holster from Robert Mika as well. I have both the square and round holster versions as some of my pockets are square and some are round.

I exclusively carry the extended magazine with one in the pipe.

Unlike WhoWouldGuess, I am unable to rack the slide while the safety is engaged.

I agree with PawPaw that the safety is positive but not stiff. I also carry in a hidden hybrid OWB holster. I have never accidentally disengaged the safety regardless of the method of carry.

As for ammo, I have used only 124 grain rounds in this hand gun and have never had a FTF or FTE. I only buy reloads from Freedom Ammunitions for the range and HST for SD.

I think you should ask yourself if you are comfortable carrying with a round in the chamber, hammer cocked and the safety on.
