I’ve had my P238 for 7 years or so. I was planning on getting a KelTec 380 but I saw the P238 and fell in love with it. It’s still my go to everyday weapon.
Love mine too. I’m gonna try out the new p365 in .380 and see how it compares.
I just traded my Glock 48 for a used P238 Equinox. Started having failures to feed. Realize that the previous owner bought aftermarket extended mags. Ran about 20 mags total today through the factory six rounder without a hiccup. Immediately bought 2 more factory mags.....regardless of the $50 price tag. You don't cheap out on mags, unless you want failures. I am loving how this gun shoots.
Purchased my P238-HD2 about 11 months ago I know that I got gouged on the price but, I had to have it! I feel like I might have gotten the last one available in Ca. because they are not available anymore, whatsoever. Now, Sig actually dosen't make them Ca. compliant anymore. I see them online now for as much as $1400! Makes me feel lucky I got mine for $800. My HD model is all stainless with Sig night sights, G-10 grips & came with 1 flush mount magazine. I've purchased 3 more mags with 7 round capacity & pinky rests. Beautiful gun! I also added the Hogue Sportsman grip with finger notches & expanded palm swell. The combination of the Hogue grip & extended mags makes this a perfect gun, absolutely love it. The only issue I've EVER had is with aluminum cased ammo. Chokes a little bit on that crap with an occasional FTE. Here in Ca., Land Of 2A Punishment, we're not allowed to have ANY Legion models! We only recently got some Scorpion models. Can you feel my pain? Thank you for your time & great review of your P238 Legion.
I feel the pain buddy🤦🏻♂️. Thank you for checking out the channel and the great feedback. Even at $800 I would still say its 100% worth it. They’re incredibly hard to find and such a great pistol. Best .380 micro compact in my opinion. 😎👍
@@ConcealedCarryChannel I fully agree & appreciate your prompt feedback on my long-winded comments.
Of course! Thanks for leaving such great feedback. I love hearing from owners and I think it help potential buyers gain relevant information 😎👍
The HD is the shit! Total tack driver! My EDC and would stake my life on it (even in .380). Mag guts mag follower for 9 rounds 8+1.
I watched this video countless times as I was researching the P238 Legion. I visited my local gun stores and held several non-Legion variants. I searched the interweb for weeks and thought I had found a few for sale, but they were scams. I finally found a used one for sale in a legitimate store in Houston and jumped on it. Did I pay more than I should have? Without a doubt...but it was SO worth it! I absolutely LOVE my P238 Legion! It is my EDC. I also have a P226 Legion, a couple of P365s, a P322, a 516, and a variety of other pistols and long guns. The P238 is my favorite, with the P226 in a close second place. It is a shame that Sig has discontinued producing it, but I am guessing they are putting all their micro-compact chips into their P365 line. Thank you for making this video, as it solidified my decision to purchase this magnificent weapon! Since my purchase, I have watched this video several times more.
Shot several 380's a few years ago at a TX range visiting best friends. The Sig P238 the best, no contest. Felt the best, shot the best, fantastic trigger, and me not familiar with 1911 operation at all. Not just me but my bud (former Marine and cop), same conclusion. Now with my local Sheriff confirming CA will no longer use "just cause" for CCW issuance based on SCOTUS NY ruling...
Love my p238
Everytime I think about replacing my 238 nitron with a subcompact or Micro Compact 9 mm I rent a few of them, and always come back to the 238, it's that good. Nice review.
Just got the P238 as a birthday gift (to myself). Already had a P365 and LCP Max, so decided on something “fancy” and got the engraved with the pearl handles; why not?
Just added the Hogue grips to my P238 and it really helped for a more comfortable grip, for my hands, over the factory rosewood (which are really good looking) ones.
I think he loves this little p238 lol. Its cool my wife and I have a few sigs. We both have 238s. They are nice little units. I think I want to add a 365 to the collection.
I will second that!
@Fifth Column i know I may have to wait a few months. It took a few months to find my xcompact. It takes persistence. Found my xcompact, left work early so I could drive 2 hours to get it. But it was worth it
I strongly suggest you go direct to the Sig P938 and skip the 365. I fired one (my neighbor's 365) and I just did not like the cheapish feel in my hand. Purely subjective I know but no thanks, I'll pass on that one. If you are hung up on capacity, the 365 is the better choice otherwise a metal framed P938 would be my choice. I would have gotten the P938 if they were available when I got my P238. My 'compact' carry 9mm is a S&W 469. My 'micro' 9mm is a Kahr PM9.
@@scarpia519 I have tried P938 and I never had gun with more malfunction then P938 on ejecting round. May be gun was not good may be ammo but be very careful with choosing P938.
@@scarpia519 By the way, I be tried Kahr PM9 on same day with same ammo. It was awesome. No malfunction.
This WILL be in my future collection!
I found a p238 in a port-a-potty best find ever for me
Wow 🤩 what a find indeed
Usually you just find a bunch of shit in there.
I have the Crimson & Trace Green laser with Cook's custom kydex holster that accommodates the P238 plus laser. Also, Detroit holster chest rig with a magazine holder.
I shot one very briefly at the range (the instructor at my ladIes' class had one and let me borrow it) and it was a nice shooter despite being a bit tiny even in my small hands. Sig definitely needs to release an updated version of this (and its 9mm counterpart) with more capacity to compete with guns like the CSX (which I also love), Hellcat, etc. If they can pull it off while also keeping the easy-rack slide (at least on the P238), that would be even better.
Looking for a summer edc. This looks right up my ally
Love my p238. If you can find one get it.
The only way I want to be well taken care of is by getting me a good price on the weapon.
My p238 Rainbow is reliable and so good lookin.
Love playing “whats on the wall ?” Is that a NAA mini 22lr or mag ? Nice/interesting little micro guns. Speaking of nice little guys, I have the P238, P938, P365. Love all the little Sigs. Run flawlessly ! Thanks for the review. Just subscribed, keep em coming 😃
Good eye! Thanks for checking out the channel and subscribing. 2021 is gonna be a great year for the channel with lots of good content to come. Please share with your friends and other enthusiasts.
When deciding upon a micro 1911, I've sampled models from Browning, Rock Island, Remington, Kimber, Springfield, and SIG. The Browning was very, very nice and one could see that the quality in the firearm. The Rock Island was nice, but plain. Having owned a Rock Island 1911 it goes bang every time, so I do not think for a minute that the “Baby Rock “ wouldn’t work out well if that were your choice. Wasn’t a big fan of the Remington nor the Kimber, especially the Micro Carry that I tested. The sights were worse than pretty much anything I have seen short of a SIG P365 SAS ( I personally don’t care for those at all. Would rather no sights over those!). For me it came down to the Springfield 911 vs. the P238. If I were comparing the “base” 238, I believe that the Springfield is better. That front sight really “pops” on the 911. That being said, if you can step-up to the Legion; do it, you won’t be sorry!
I have on with a TLR-6 light / laser kit upon it, within a custom Kydex holster and it is an awesome setup. The firearm shoots a weight class above. You won’t be sorry. The trigger is great and crisp. The safety is extremely positive when sweeping it off. The grips are tacky enough to hold your hands but not too aggressive on you skin if carried IWB.
My only negative is perceived down the road slide coating durability. As I have only owned one for a year and a half, I’m not sure how much holster wear it will show?? To me, the finish is cool, but it almost feels as though it is soft??? It probably won’t be a problem but that is my only “complaint “ and as it hasn’t been tested, it is more of a hypothesis, and not a true complaint.
Enjoy your firearm, as I’m really impressed with mine.
Thanks for checking out the review and the wonderful feedback. Much appreciated. Please share the channel with your friends and enthusiasts.
Well spoken! I appreciate your expertise, thanks.
I just have the legion grips lol its on sale right now on sig website..i wish i purchased the legion ones before…im happy with my p238 two tone tho
For Laser, the Armalaser in green is fantastic.
If I get one it's gonna a be green. Thanks.
I have the armalaser green laser on my Bersa Thunder 380 I use for my shop defense. Love it!
Informative video. You covered a lot of ground.
l am enduring the 10 day wait to get my P238 two tone. Choices on micro 380's, even within the P238 line are very limited in commifornia. I had to wait 2 months for a P238 to come in to one of my lgs.
I ordered 3 Metalform 6rd mags for the price of 1 Sig branded mag. Hope that works out.
Also thinking of equipping it with an Armalaser TR8. I like how it activates, good reviews. Never had a laser sight before. Gonna shoot it as is for a while, then make up my mind.
Thanks for checking out the review and the great feedback. I think you’re gonna love the p238 the more you shoot it.
It's 12-16-23. Is this Sig presently available in Commie-fornia?
Love my p238 Nitron. Will probably upgrade to the G10 grips and try to snag a couple more extended grip mags. You got me thinking of upgrading the front sight too... That Legion model is sweet!
The legion certainly is awesome. I haven’t really seen a p238 I didn’t like. If you decide to get the G10 grips I think it will give you a really nice feel to the gun and slim profile if that’s what you’re looking for.
@@ConcealedCarryChannel thanks looking at the Hogue G10 grips which seem similar to the Legion grips to get a bit more bite, but I do like how slim and concealable the original grips on this base p238 are. Thanks again for a good and informative vid
😎👌
My p238 is the desert version and it has a plastic trigger.
Would you recommend this for the first time gun owner? Thanks.
I definitely would. It’s a great gun!
Cool targets!

Great video!
Agreed!
Thanks so much! Happy to hear you like the review.
why not get a 365 in 380?
Very true.
What would be a good counterpart for p238 to practice with lr22? 380 ammo is still not available or overpriced.
Thanks for checking out the review! The p238 is basically a shrunken down / micro 1911 so there’s two pistols that come to mind.
1) the Browning 22Lr 1911 is 85% the size of a standard 1911 platform just chambered in 22LR.
2) Sig Sauer p938-22. These are elusive as big foot riding a unicorn but if you can get your hands on one I believe this would be the closest handling and feeling to your p238.
Could it be fitted with a compensator?
If you can find a threaded barrel you could use the Griffin armament micro comp.
@@ConcealedCarryChannel thanks for the fast reply. Good luck.
Love my p238 EDGE. I have maybe 700+ rounds through it with 1 stovepipe. Also, the slide lock lever/takedown pin worked its way out while doing some manipulation drills. Kinda bummed about it. But, will just keep an eye on it. I’m considering the p320 axg scorpion vs the WCP320 carry for my next purchase. Any thoughts?
Thank you for checking out the review and the feedback. I always love hearing from owners. Have you contacted Sig to have them go through the pistol? I think it would be a good idea to have them check it out.
Now the AXG Scorpion vs Wilson Combat?... 🤔 That is such a hard choice. I like the slide better on the Wilson but I like that the AXG slide is optic ready. Both have very nice triggers. AXG has the Custom shop trigger (Legion) and the Wilson Combat has a tuned option as well. The Grip module for both feel great and you can add tungsten weights to the Wilson Combat if you want to make it a little heavier. And of course you gotta like the FDE finish the AXG has since it’s not available in black.
I hope this input was helpful.
I’ll definitely contact Sig about the slide release! Thanks. Everything you mentioned about the P320s are exactly why I can’t decide! I have small hands, so maybe the AXG?
The Wilson Combat module is really comfortable and has great ergos for med/small hands. With the thumb indent it feels thinner than the AXG and is easier to depress the mag release. The G-10 grips on the AXG is the perfect texture though. 🤦🏻♂️ this is too hard of a decision to make. Ask me a easier question. 😂
Check out the stand alone reviews I did on the AXG grip module and the Wilson combat grip module. Lemme know your thoughts on those too. Maybe it will help make a little easier decision.
Why did they stop producing the legion? ☹️
I know! Why!!!!! I’d love to see them do a Sig custom shop Nightmare edition to match their newest offerings.
@@ConcealedCarryChannel Yessss!! I would love to see that too!! I hope they do come out with something really good soon since they discontinued this one. I've been trying to find the Sig P380 Legion for weeks and I was wondering why I didn't see it on their site so now I know why when I watched your video. Very upsetting! 😩 Great video btw! 👍
@@sandyweeks5302 thank so much. I glad you’re enjoying the content! If I was looking for one I would keep an eye on your local firearms forums and classifieds and places like gunbroker.com.
@@ConcealedCarryChannel You're very welcome and ok thanks for the suggestions...I will keep an eye out bc I really really want one! Lol.
Targets. About $4 per target + s&h. To much
I'm still debating with myself on whether I want the Sig p238 or the p938. My CCW are either .380 or 9mm. With .380 being harder to get and more expensive than 9mm ammo, I'm leaning towards the p938. But I've only shot the p238 and love it. I'm am a little recoil sensitive because of multiple past wrist injuries.
Check out my p938 review. Hopefully it will help you in your decision.
Ok I got a p238 it has sig emblem love it now to buy a all around handgun with more than 18 rd any suggestions
On very nice. Love my p238. If you wanna stick with Sig I would look into the X-Carry or RXP-Carry. Full size grip with a compact slide.
@@ConcealedCarryChannel Thanks!!
3yards? Are you kidding? To shoot p238 from less 10 ft is not fun at all. What is point to shoot if you have one hole in result? 25 yards is good practice range for p238!
I hear ya. The p238 is certainly fun to shoot at longer distances. But for the channel I keep it closer more “defensive”.
@ Samsung Tablet....It is also harder to argue in court that you were in a life or death situation when the Perp is 74+ feet away. Now if he/she/they are firing upon you from that distance then your point would be a bit more valid, but under “most” circumstances, the average home doesn’t have 75 foot hallways to defend. The average store doesn’t have 75’ for clean shots, so a defensive pistol shooting well in 10-yards (30 feet) or less is far more realistic.
🤣 hi hi you doing ! Bye bye pew pew
