New Sig p938 - what do you think?

[Sinkhole]

A SIG-Sauer made pistol with an alloy frame instead of injection molded polymer, that comes from the factory with night sights for $450 is "expensive?" Sure, it's $150 more than a Ruger LCP... but you can spend that much just on the night sights alone that come on most P238s. The better construction, better trigger pull, shorter reset, existence of manageable sights, easier operation, automatic lock back, and better resale value... It's leaps and bounds better, and a better value, than the Ruger LCP. (I compare it to the LCP, being that it is the only noteworthy competition.)

If you really think that .380ACP is a "useless caliber" then... I don't even know what to say to that. I don't own a .380ACP, but to describe it as useless is just ignorant. You're referring to a cartridge which armed a number of prominent European militaries for some time. While I certainly agree that was a mistake in terms of being a service pistol (ie, Beretta M1934) to say that a Walther PPK is "useless" is so laughable that I am really not even sure why I am acknowledging it.

It's a back up gun cartridge. It is ideal for pocket pistols, and is more than adequate for personal protection at common distances.

Night Sights on Ruger LCP. Now that would be a neat trick.
As for easier operation, I would beg to differ that point. How is it a SAO handgun with a manual safety is easier to operate than a DAO Handgun with no manual safety.
Trigger pull is apples to oranges, the LCP is DAO / P238 is SAO . Of course a SAO handgun will have a better trigger pull.
I would also say the Sig is not built any better than the Ruger. They are both superbly built firearms.
I think comparing these guns is just like comparing a Glock 36 to a series 70, 1911, How do you compare the two they are worlds apart in design and function.
Let us not forget there is a considerable size and weight difference between these to guns the Ruger is much smaller and much lighter.
And I totally agree the the .380 is not a useless round.
Oh and I paid $448 + tax for my LCP with a Crimson Trace LG-431 brand new.
$179 for the LG-431 & $269 for the LCP on sale with 2 boxes of ammo.
Please do not buy any means think I am bashing the Sig, I am not. I just can't wrap my mind around a justifiable comparison between the two.



As for the P938 I think its a nice little gun but would like a side by side comparison with a Kimber Solo.
