One reason that people will still buy the 238 is that racking the slide is much easier, those with arthritis or weak hands can easily rack it, the 938 is more difficult, not by a lot but they do require a stronger grip. I just received 2 of them in stock, the extreme and nitron with rosewood grips, personally I like the nitron better, add in an extended mag that the extreme comes with and it is a winner. I shot and carried the extreme a few times and really like the gun, it fit into my Galco 238 OWB holster nicely and may just move the extreme model into my personal stash.... I will replace the grips though, they are a bit rough and sharp on the edges....Dusty Harry wrote:Speaking of "pulling the trigger," I was at a well-stocked SIG dealer recently and noticed that the trigger quality on both the 238's and 938's vary considerably from gun to gun. Some are quite nice right out of the box while others were like a box of rocks and felt about +2 lbs heavier. Maybe a rough one would smooth out in time, but for that reason alone I would buy from a dealer where I could handle and choose the one that would go home with me; paying $30 more is a lot less expensive than a trigger job! Have been lusting after one to replace my Kahr P380 but I need to sell it first. (BTW, they do make variants of the 238 with Ambi safeties. The Scorpoin version has them and I think 2 others as well.) But, with the 938 now out now and so close in size to the 238, it just begs the question - why in the world would anyone ever buy a 238???
