daniel77I've always felt that all the Sigs are good guns, just priced $200 too high. They seem to have fixed my only gripe, as this model is priced $450-500.

I love the SAS dehorned version. I do like the looks of the black nitron with rosewood grips. I wish the SAS would come in Nitron and add the rosewood double diamond grips. It just looks so cool! With the stronger wolf spring, a firm grip and fixing the feed ramp hitting the magazine I think this will feed well. I dont know what would feel better in the hand the P238 or the S&W bodyguard in 380.

rick boggsmine has the rosewood but they now have 1 with a laser and metal grips i didnt really like the feel of that also the p238 is a remake of the colt mustang so holster selection is good

I don't like the look of the laser but if it is more about intimidation it is a big deal.
With the bugs worked out it is a better Mustang.
It is the prettiest of all the big mouse guns and being a 1911 ish gun that has a big appeal!

LRH270I have one and like it a lot.
It's my carry gun when the .45 is too big.

butchloci'm on my 2nd. first one was the plain model, 2nd one is the one with the multicolored slide etc. Just had to have one of those. anyway think of it as a mini 1911. although much like the mustang it is a bit thinner and before i got my mustang to work well and be able to hit anything, i had to do quite a bit of work to it. the sig works right out of the box. like LRH270 says it is about the smallest thing that is reliable to carry, which means alot, especially in summer

Well, a .380 is better than an empty pocket!

CAS III hope I never have to find out how well it does (or doesn't) work, but
Buffalo Bore's 380 +P loadings look pretty impressive for the little round.
They do kick a bit more, especially with the little P238, but they sure seem to make quite an impression on everything I have shot with them.

RothkeI have an NAA Guardian in 32 ACP. It's like not having a gun at all. It's small and easily concealed, but it's not enough gun, and not all that light either. These days they're making a 9mm that's the size of a 380 ACP or 32 ACP.

I'll probably keep my .380 until I burn through whatever ammo I have on hand.
I won't be replacing it with another .380. If you aren't crippled, a baseball bat would be just as effective.
