Sig P238 or Colt Mustang Pocketlite

[charlie b]

Understand. I went with the mak cause ammo and guns are inexpensive. Recoil is mild enough for the gun size.

I'd go with the .380 too if I wanted to buy a higher quality gun.

I have a SIG p230, p238, and a keltec p3AT.

All .380.

The 230 is a fine full sized medium frsm auto.. But I live the full featured 238.

Bought a p238 for the wife awhile back, and while I can't comment on the others, the sig is awesome. Not having any problems with it whatsoever, wish I would have bought it for myself!

[FergusonTO35]

Thats what I am leanimg towards. Sig is just hard to beat all the way around.

[Soundguy]

Mine is the zombie edition, I love the aluminum grips

My wife liked the purple 938 lol, whatever makes her happy.

Is that an Alabama Pocket Holster?
And are those aftermarket grips? My Extreme has the greenish scaled grips and it's tearing up my hands. Got a Pachmayr Slip on Tac Glove and it works. Just doesn't look as nice

Beautiful grips and pistols.

Well, Kimber it is. Went to the fun store today planning to ask about the stainless Kimber Micro and they had one under the glass for $500.00 so I layawayed it. The owner said the Micro series has gotten very popular and he sold another one just before I arrived. I still find it amusing that Kimber was the least expensive choice here. Sig would be my preference but it doesn't come without night sights and so costs a lot more. With Colt of course you pay extra for those pretty pony medallions and the front sight is integral to the slide, meaning that it requires mill work if you want to replace it.


I'm surprised at how small these .380 1911's are. The Micro is about the same size as the Ruger LCP II in th case next to it. The Micro grip is slightly longer, the LCP II slide is slightly longer, both are about the same thickness. The Micro slid down into my pocket almost as easily as the standard LCP does, certainly easier than my Glock 42 or S&W 637 do. Looking forward to bailing it out!

I'd get the Sig P938 . It's not that much larger or heavier nut shoots some harder .

I have laid out my reasons why I want a .380 in previous posts. If I wanted a small 9mm I would have bought the used Glock 43 in the same shop for $375.00. Yes, I was more than tempted but I already have a 26 which I like very much and the Micro .380 fills a hole in my arsenal right now.

The 238/Micro/Mustang is smaller than the Sig P938. Not much smaller, but when you throw it in your pocket you noticed it. The Mustang I use to own fit into a Desantis Superfly holster and disappear in my pocket. The P938 need a different holster and it's much hard to conceal in certain pants for me.

if you get the chance, try out the Streamlight TLR-6. It doesn't blind, but it actually works on these subcompacts and pocket sized pistols. I run mine with just the light and it does it's job!

Still think the Sig is the best of the bunch for SA 380 pistols. Colt's QC was iffy the past couple of years and Kimber's QC is non existent. But hope you got a good one.

I guess we will be finding out. My brother in law has two Kimbers and loves them. The shop owner says he gets very few complaints about them. He is a stand up guy and if I have a problem he will make it right, even if the factory won't.

[GONRA]

GONR notes ya'll are really into this stuff.
Suggest a Olde (not sure about "these days" manufacture) Para Ordnance .45 ACP Warthog.
Its small, BUT gotta admit "WIDE".

[FergusonTO35]

No mini .45's for me. I can't shoot them well at all, and no matter how much you downsize the gun it is still going to be bigger because of the larger cartridge.

Luv my P238 nuff said.

[FergusonTO35]

I bailed out the Micro yesterday. Also picked up a couple of extra mags for it, glad to see they are reasonably priced at $21.95 each at the fun store. Hopefully I can test drive it soon, all my reloading stuff is still in moving boxes.
