No pics yet had to order it, got a Sig 938 Nightmare 9mm. Went in to look/get an LCR or take a step into the world of Glock, but I handled the Sig and played with some snap caps and the deal was sealed. I'm going to load some rounds starting a touch above minimum in 800x and maybe #5.
My first compact, now I don't have worry about what I wear and where I'm going trying to hide a 1911.

Looking forward to casting and loading for it, been looking on the interweb haven't really found a whole lot of useful stuff yet.

The wife has one and loves it. Www.laxammo.com has the best prices on remanufactured 9mm ammo. It likes 115 gr. Laxammo has it for about 19.5 cents a round.

I had a issues with my P938 after about 1000 rounds or so the magazine would fall out in my hand wile shooting it
and the right side safety wiggled like a lose tooth sent it back to sig all is good now only thing i would add is a good holster
IWB i like white hat http://www.whitehatholsters.com/ and for pocket carry this http://www.alabamaholster.com/product/front-pocket-holster/ and pick up a few 7 round magazines oh i did add a set of VZ grips https://vzgrips.com/pistol-grips/sig/sig-p938/elite-tactical-carry

Anyone else read that with the "Yeeeeahhhhhhhhh" from We wont get fooled again by the Who?

19.5 cents a round??! WOOF! Im shooting full house 44 mag for less than 12 cents a round. I bet there are plenty of suggestions for that type of pistol (semi-9mm) for a mould. I wish I could suggest one, and a pound of lead would last significantly longer for you than for me (at 265 grains a piece).

Congrats on the new pistol!!!! Cant wait to hear a range report and see some pictures

I adore my 938 with Rosewood grips! It's an excellent backup or small carry gun. I use some light loads, 3.2 grains of Bullseye with Lee roundnoses, for practice. It will handle the new Hornady ammo fine. It takes some concentration to get that short barrel going but, it never backs down! I like the standard Sig holster best but, I have the other pocket and concealment models too. Good little single action. The tight tolerances taught me that during disassembly and cleaning, that little dude can bite ya!

Good Luck,
Ron

Any tricks on disassembly for an older guy?
Had a student and customer transfer one through us the other day.
I showed him how to field strip it, but he was having issues holding the slide back while trying to remove/install the takedown pin.

Thanks for posting.
But am I the only one that hates videos vs text and pictures?
10 minutes to say 'don't screw this spring up.'
Great knowledge, didn't pay any attention to the customers gun the other day, his being the first Sig P239 I had apart, but I have run into that issue with other guns.
Will keep an eye on this in the future.

My wife bought a Sig 938 as her first pistol after taking her concealed carry class. She hasn't gotten her permit yet as we just moved last saturday and I figure it would be easier to apply after the move. I actually really like carrying it when my XD subcompact is to big for the situation.
