Design
Design
The P938, chambered for 9×19mm Parabellum, is a slightly larger version of the SIG Sauer P238 pistol, which is chambered for.380 ACP. Trigger pull for the P938 is listed at 7.5–8.5 lb-f. A finger relief exists under the trigger guard. Grip panels are one of three kinds of wood, Hogue G-10 Extreme composite, or rubber wrap-around in the "Sport" model. The frame is metal, unlike many other micro-compact 9 mm handguns. The frame for all P938 models is anodized aluminum alloy, and the slide is stainless steel either bare or with SIG's Nitron coating. Flush-fit magazines hold 6 rounds, while 7-round magazines with an extension are available. The safety is ambidextrous, while the magazine release is only on the left side. Specialty versions have been made such as the Scorpion, Nightmare, Extreme, Equinox, AG (aluminum grip), and SAS (SIG Anti-Snag) as well as for the Legion series.
