According to what I saw on the Sig Forum, $500 for two tone w/ night sights. As for blocky, as the Mustang was soooo small, I think the blocky grip may be an improvement.
Smaller and lighter. Pictured below are a Bersa .380 (about the same size as a 230/232 and a Mustang +II (a little longer in grip than the new Sig 238)
Also,the 238 has a slide stop/release and non Euro mag release.
I handled one at the show yesterday. Pretty nice overall. Thumb safety was a little gritty and stiff but that would probably break in. The trigger was fair but a trip to a good gun plumber would make it great. Nice weight and aluminum grips felt good. Yeah, if I had the money I could see one in my future.
They may both be chambered in 380, but they look like much different pistols to me. The P380 is clearly a pocket pistol. This new Sig looks to be a subcompact that may fit in some pockets, but much beefier.
There are not any comparative pics so I could be wrong, but that is my opinion so far.
It is very pretty, but it also looks like it's the same size as an MK9. If I didn't own an MK9 already I suppose would consider it just for the SA trigger.
I love my P232, it is my "church gun" but it is to big for pocket carry. I have wanted one of these new Sigs as soon as I saw the first pic a month ago. Have they actually set a release date yet? And is that $500 quote Sigs MSRP or your guess? I don't think it will be a good seller if it is much more than $500. Time will tell.
Here's the dilemma.
It's the size and weight of the Kahr PM-9
But still a .380
It sure is pretty, but my Kahr is paid for and a LCP would be much cheaper
and smaller.
I'd like to see a comparison of the Kahr 380 and the Sig 380 side by side.
I already emailed my FFL guy asking him to inquire with the wholesalers as to when they are going to be available. $515ish MSRP should translate into mid-$400's as my cost. Me wants! :hand10:
Stoke that bad boy with some Buffalo Bore Gold Dots and you are good to go!! Better ballistics than a 38 special Hydrashok, it's what I carry in my Guardians and my P232.
