SIG P238

The SIG P238 is the premium .380 for shooters who want the best trigger in the class. The 1911-pattern single-action trigger produces a clean, crisp break that no striker-fired .380 can match. The aluminum alloy frame adds 4.6 oz over the Ruger LCP Max but absorbs recoil noticeably better. SIGLITE night sights are standard on most variants.

The manual safety operates identically to a 1911 thumb safety, making it natural for anyone trained on the 1911 platform. At $699 it costs $250 more than the LCP Max, but the trigger quality and shooting experience justify the premium for buyers who prioritize accuracy and control over minimum weight. Multiple finish and grip variants are available, from the basic Nitron to the rosewood-gripped models. The P238 accepts 7-round extended magazines that add one round.
