I shot a total of 100 rounds at various distances out to 10 yards, and conducted drills moving forward, backward, laterally and to the oblique. For testing, I used Remington 115 grain Ball and Hollow Point ammo. Important for re-assemblyĪfter the pistol was cleaned, I took it to the range. The ejector on the P938 is mounted on the frame. Knowing that, re-assembling the slide to the frame doesn’t present any difficulty. Depressing it too far can actually cause a mechanical problem, so push down only until it clears the slide. When mating the slide to the frame, you have to depress the ejector so the slide rides over it. The ejector on the P938 is mounted to the frame. Once cleaning is done, assemble in reverse order. Remove the recoil spring, guide rod, and barrel from the slide, and you ready to clean. Once the slide and the slide stop are lined up, take out the slide stop and bring the slide forward off the frame. Again, unlike the 1911, there is no barrel bushing, making dis-assembly less complicated. There are finger grooves on both the front and rear of the slide, making it easy to retain a grip on the pistol during this process. Next, pull the slide back on the frame until the slide stop aligns with the takedown notch on the slide. Also unlike the 1911, the slide can be cycled with the safety on. The thumb safety on the Extreme is, as I said, ambidextrous, and, unlike the 1911, can be set with the hammer back or forward. Once the pistol has been cleared, put the safety in the “fire” position. To dis-assemble the pistol, remove the magazine and ensure the chamber is clear. The pistol comes in a package that includes a hard case, a cable lock, loaded chamber indicator, one six and one seven round magazine, a right hand holster, and manual.įirst thing I did after taking the pistol home was read the manual and field strip the pistol for cleaning. It comes with composite grip panels, An ambidextrous safety, and SIGLITE tritium night sights. The model I evaluated is the P938 Extreme. The P938 is almost as compact as a Taurus PT-22(right), but packs a lot more punch 22LR, the P938 takes six or seven rounds of 9mm, depending on the magazine. However, while the PT-22 is chambered for. For comparison of how compact it is, the P938 is only slightly larger than the Taurus PT-22 pocket pistol. It has a three inch barrel, an overall length of 5.9 inches, a height of 3.9 inches, and a width of a little over an inch. For the addition of less than half an inch in length, SIG has given the platform up-gunned performance with the addition of the 9mm. The P938 is based on SIG’s earlier P238, which is a compact 1911 style single action chambered in. It is a 1911 style pistol, but has some significant differences to the 1911 design. The P938 is a compact single action pistol chambered in 9mm. So, when SIG brought out the P938, I was very interested to check it out. 9mm is fine if it’s on a platform that allows for rapid, accurate, and consistent shot placement. Along that line, I don’t necessarily need the. Also, while the 1911 can be a very good target pistol, I’m looking more for something appropriate for everyday carry. 45 ACP round it was designed for, to me, it limits it’s utility for civilian use. While it’s size is necessary to handle the. But, the 1911 is a big pistol designed for service use, and being that it was adopted in the early 1900’s, it’s designed for right hand use only. The trigger pull is light and consistent, and the single action mechanism, when done right, is reliable. ![]()
