Default Sig P938 Extreme impressions and Range Trip

Best Monday ever, received the Sig P938 Extreme today and here are my first impressions. Range trip tomorrow, and I may not sleep tonight. I am waiting on another for my wife, and after proving these reliable, these will be our CCWs.

Opening the box I received 2 - 6 round mags, which I was anticipating having a 7 rounder and a 6 rounder.. oh well. I may email Sig, and maybe they may give me a mercy mag if I schmooze them, otherwise I will be ordering a 7 rounder. Extra mags are always good!

The pistol was very clean minus some firing residue. As always I clean a pistol and oil before every firing. I use CLP and then lube with Wilson products. Very 1911-like stripping down and very easy to put back together. Just be careful with that guide rod and flat wire spring when re-assembling. In regards to the guide rod , I read of issues with a 2 piece guide rod. This guide rod looks to be 1 piece or welded, but don't quote me on that! Well she's all oiled and ready for the range trip tomorrow. Can't wait to report back. Meanwhile here's your gun porn.














In a Remora Holster compliments of Xbonz. thanks again!

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.

I'm so freakin' jealous! I got the dummy gun for this not long ago, to make holsters with, and I can't put the thing down. I want one so bad! Price wise, I may have to get a Kahr CM9 instead if I want a 9mm in this size range. Can't wait to hear the range report.

You should really like the P938.

I've got a P238 and it's really easy to shoot well, even with hot handloads. I've got a couple pocket holsters for it, and it conceals quite well.

Oh man aqualungs, that's a good deal! Unfortunately, I can't even do the Kahr at the moment. Ugh, that's tempting.

I agree! I wish I would have gotten mine that cheap. Close but no cigar.

When they first came out with the 938, I could have snagged one for around $450, and almost did. But after doing some online research I heard too many complaints about the pistol. I hope they've got all the kinks worked out now!
