Nice looking gun....I don't often carry CCW handgun with a manual safety ;)
-
Just for info the P938 has a single-action cocked-and-locked trigger.
-
I'm already on my dealer's waiting list for the Equinox version when they start shipping. I can't say enough good things about how well my 238 shoots and feels in hand.

Have you heard any availability details?
-
I found this model earlier today when browsing the Sig website for info on the Scorpion model. I had no idea the 938 existed, but I'm not a Sig follower. I'm holding my breath waiting for the Colt Pocket 9 to be re-introduced.

He said they should be shipping some time in April. I'm not sure if all the models will be released at the same time, but I'm patient. I may actually appreciate an extra month or two to save a little more money. Just picked up one of SIG's new ultra compact 1911s last weekend so I've been on an ammo and parts shopping spree this week.

Would you mind posting some picks of the ultra compact 1911? I would be interisted in seeing that. Thanks Adam.

I carried a Pocket Nine in the early 2000's and I really think today's pistols are better. I doubt that they will bring it back as Kahr sued them and that is why they dropped it. (also a bad economy at that time)

Now that is nice! :)

Nice looking gun...............did you have any problems with your pocket nine?

I'll try to get some pictures up tonight. I've been so busy with work that it took me 3 days just to get to the range with it and another day before I had enough time to clean her after the outing. I was worried because of all the horror stories I've read about 3" 1911s but it preformed almost flawlessly. I had about 4 hiccups out of over 200 rounds where the slide locked back before feeding the last round, but I think that can be attributed to the factory magazines. I should receive my new Wilson Combat mags on Monday and hope to test those out next weekend to see if they solve the problem. Other than that, I wouldn't hesitate in recommending it to anyone. I think it's one of the best values out there right now and shoots superbly. Only 2 MIM parts (slide stop and disconnector) that I plan on swapping out soon.
-
Thanks for the update.
Look forward to the Picks. :)

Jack, I really did not have any problems. They had a hard trigger pull and some were prone to light hits. Kahr sued Colt as they used the offset feed ramp design which is Kahr's.
That gun has had a lot of work and it caught my eye. He is mostly a buyer and why is he selling that?
If I was in the market, I would ask a lot of questions before I would take a chance on it. They are alloy frame and were a "pretty cool gun" in 1999. Only about 6500 made.
They have gotten to be a collector's item. I have the one I carried and two NIB I picked up at a good price.

I agree the state of the art has changed for the better. That Colt is nice to look at, but I'd never pay collector price for a Pocket 9 or Pony. I've actually seen a Pony and Pocket 9 stainless set at a local shop with lower prices than the auction above, but managed to leave the shop empty handed. One of my few moments of personal triumph.
To get back on topic, I will be looking at 938's when they hit the stores. I've warmed up to the concept after thinking about it for a few days.
-
I agree with you. All the NIB Pocket Nines I have seen in the last year will bring $1000.00.
NIB Pony Pocketlites approx $750.00
The one on GB has had a lot of work done on it, I just thought it was interesting.
By the way, I think that they needed some work out of the box.
-
I'm interested, as well, in the P938; haven't paid too much attention to Sig in the past; chose a Glock over the Sig not too long ago in the .357 Sig caliber. Now may be the time for the Sig. :)
-
938 in 357 Sig? Now that got my attention!!! I've ever owed a Sig or any pistol chambered in .357 Sig, but I would put a deposit on one today if they would take it.
-

Z, here are the Sig UC1911 pics. I also included my R9s and P238 in the pics so you could get an idea of the actual size. It's pretty small, but a lot heavier.

What is the cost of the Sig P938?
-
Sig's MAP pricing is around $800 depending on model ($823 for the Equinox), but my dealer gave me a price of $665 to order my EQ. I'm sure street prices will be even lower than that once they've been out for a while. Heck, Sig's MAP pricing for the UC1911 is over $1k and I was able to pick a new one up for $675 last week.
-
Thanks for posting the picks. Nice looking guns! :)
-
Thanks! I was planning on trading the 238 in on the 938, but I'm not so sure of that now. My GF is planning on getting her carry permit soon and has called dibs on it. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to pry it away from her!
-
Looks like a nice gun for its type..
It just doesn't look like it would fit in my pocket like the Pup does though!! ;)
-
No doubt about that one, Brenden. There is not a Sig in my future.
-
The 238 actually carries pretty well in my pocket. the main advantage it has is how accurate i am with it. I really prefer single action triggers so the only DAO pistol i own is the R9.
-
How do you like the grips on the R9?
Have you ever compaired them to the VZ checkered grips?
-
The grips are a little on the slick side but still feel better than the factory grips. I've been contemplating getting the VZ carbonfibers but I'll have to wait. I contacted them about making a set with checkering on the side like the other G10 and they said that they would be adding that as an option soon.
-
Thanks for the update. I too would like a set of the VZ CF if they featured checkering! :)
-

I'm really liking the Sig P938 more and more! :)

The announcement says it is SAO. I would have to think a while before carrying a SAO pistol cocked and locked in my pocket. Belt-holstered, no problem; pocket-holstered . . . ?

I agrre 100% with R S. I have a Colt Mustang which is a great gun, carry it, no way. It did prompt me to get a Pony Pocketlite though which is a very good pistol.
-
I would have to agree, no SAO going in my pocket and if its going on the belt I can think of better choices. ;)
-
I liked my Mustang cocked and locked in my Ahern Pocket Natural in my youth. Luckily, I got older and wiser quickly and upgraded to a S&W 3913.
I think the 938 would be a great 2 O'clock IWB lighter carry option when an Officers Model is just a bit too heavy. (summer shorts). I'm sure they will keep it thin.
I'll comment again that I've never owned a Sig, but do admire them for putting night sights as standard on many, many, many of their pistols.
Bud's is running a deal on the 290 right now with NS and laser. If it was 6 oz lighter and the mags $10 cheaper, I might have bought one.
-
Ahhh, the Colt Pony Pocketlite. I was VERY close to purchasing one of these in either late 2004/early 2005 for around 550. Having seen the price of a Colt Pony Pocketlite, I wish I would have - especially since I shot lights out with it. If Colt would come back with that one instead of the Mustang, they'd have a real competitor there.
-
I had the same concerns with carrying a SAO pistol in my pocket when I first bought my 238 but I'm totally comfortable with it now. The safety has a very positive engagement and is very low profile so I couldn't see it disengaging accidentally. When i First bought it, I carried it unloaded for about a week in my pocket and tried to put myself in any position I could think of that might disengage the safety. I bumped into walls, side swiped random objects, etc. I may have looked like I had been drinking, but it worked. The safety never moved.
For pocket carry, I have a Remora holster with the optional sweat shield which fully covers the trigger and safety.
