Why not a Sig Sauer P238?

Darn nice gun.



I agree. I had a S&W Bodyguard .380 for a "carry" pistol. Didn't like
it at all. Trigger pull was ridiculously long and with my state's
requirement of a 10lb pull I'd end up pointing the thing at the ground
by the time it fired.

Also had jamming issues (stovepiping) although it may have simply been
that I didn't have it long enough to properly break it in.

I traded it back in for a Sig Sauer P238. Much nicer feel overall and
no jams.


..380's are notorious for needing a break in period. She will get plenty
of range time. The deciding factor was the size. She has small hands.
