Great carry gun. I have two of them with the laser. Obviously the capacity is low but it's so easy to conceal. I use mine with a cross breed holster and it's the best carry gun that I have. The reliability has been good too but you would expect that from anything made by Sig.
I have one that is my "dog walking" gun. It slips right into a pocket and is virtually unnoticable.
When I bought the gun, I wanted to see how it was to shoot, so I brought it to shoot steel plates one Saturday. The recoil is very easy to manage and at 15 yards, it knocked down steel poppers with some authority.
I have one and my son in law has one.
there a nice gun that can fit in a pocket.
there is a new 7 round magazine that allows for a better grip. also there is a new recoil spring thats a big improvement. small gun with full size sights adds to the shoot ability.
TOP GUN SUPPLY sells the mags and springs.
I would recommend it
The 238 is good gun other than the trigger pull. I have had some really good smiths look at the triggers to lessen the pull and for the most part you get what you get. 8lbs. Is just a little heavy. If someone could get the pull down around five I would be really happy.
Many good comments already posted regarding Sig. They are good quality. I shot several rds through and carried the 239 off-duty, for a while, back in the day. It was just too big for a satisfactory concealment gun. My search ended up with a Kahr full size and later the PM9.

I prefer the blow-back design of the Sig P232. It's a little larger than the 238, but much better accuracy. Once your in SA the trigger pull is a smooth 4.5 lbs. vs. the 238 8 lb. pull. JMO
But, it's a single action. If you ever need it, don't forget to take off the safety. And, because of its size & weight, with high-velocity hollow points, you'd better hold it correctly or you'll cause it to jam.
Thanks to all for the responses. I have wanted to replace my KelTec .380 with something a bit more substantial. I plan on looking for one with a good price; if you know of one, let me know.
Trigger pulls very widely between P238's. Test before you buy.
If your a 1911 guy the single action is no problem.
If your going to buy one for concealed carry I would shoot 500 to 600 rounds thru it first to prove out reliability.
When I bought my P250C I was told by several folks to put a 1000 rounds through it to break it in.
