Editor’s Review

Early this year, SIG Sauer announced the P938, and updated/bigger version of it’s P238 pistol, which was introduced in 2009. I obtained a 9mm sample of the P938 Nightmare model and put it through its paces. My review follows below.

The Details

As noted above, the SIG P938 chambered in 9mm (and .22 LR) is an updated version of SIG’s P238 chambered in .380 ACP. With the P238 being a locked-breech, short-recoil-operated pistol, the action is more than sufficient to handle the more powerful 9mm round. In one sense, the original—the P238—is overbuilt for .380 ACP (many other pocket pistols in this caliber successfully work with a more simple and less-costly-to-produce direct blowback system).
Mechanically, the only change applied to the P238 to turn it into the P938 involved slightly enlarging to accommodate the longer-in-length 9mm cartridge. If you want to get picky about it, you can also include the new standard ambidextrous manual thumb safety of the P938, which is an extra-cost option on the P238. The single-action-only P938 resembles a miniaturized version of a 1911 pistol, yet mechanically varies from this ancient (but still quite effective) ancestor. One quickly-visible change: There is no manual grip safety.
The P938 is available in several configurations, include:

Rosewood, which features a Nitron-coated stainless steel slide over a dark hard anodized alloy frame. Hogue Rosewood Grips round out this package.

  • Blackwood, which features a natural stainless steel slide and black hard coat anodized alloy frame paired with Hogue Blackwood grips.
  • Extreme, which features a Nitron-coated stainless slide and black anodized frame. Hogue G-10 Piranha grips in black and grey round out this package.
  • SAS, which undergoes the SIG anti-snag treatment to remove all sharp edges and corners on the slide and frame. A natural stainless steel slide contrasts with the black hard coat anodized alloy frame and the stippled walnut grips.
  • Equinox, which features a polished Nitron two-tone slide paired with a black hard coat anodized frame. Tru-Glo front and SIGLITE rear sights and Hogue black Diamondwood grips complete this package.

  • Nightmare, which features a Nitron-coated slide on a dark, hard-anodized alloy frame with Hogue Black Diamondwood grips.
  • AG, which features a natural stainless finish on the slide, a dark, hard-anodized finish on the frame with contrasting controls, and black, checkered aluminum grips.
  • .22 LR rosewood models, with threaded and non-threaded barrels.

    Barrel lock-up is straight SIG, with the chamber hood mating with the ejection port. There is no barrel bushing, but there is a full-length, non-captive recoil spring on a metal guide rod.

    It has an exposed and rounded hammer, ambidextrous manual thumb safeties and an overall length of 5.9″. It measures 3.9″ high and 1.1″ wide, and SIG says the trigger pull weight is 7.5–8.5 lbs. The barrel length measures 3″, and the gun weighs 16 oz. (without a magazine).

    The author’s sample P938 Nightmare from the right.

    The grip panels are checkered except for the horizontal strip centered on both in which “SIG SAUER” is cut into the smooth surface. Four blued Allen screws—two to a side—hold them in place. The grips extend upward, partially shielding the slide stop, magazine catch and thumb safeties. These safety flanges or shelves then protrude just enough for manipulation, while still providing some protection against accidental movement.

    I encountered one problem with this protection: When shooting with a high grip, part of the flesh of my shooting hand was pinched when I disengaged the ambidextrous safety. If I were to own this sample, I would experiment at softening and/or lowering the sharp edges of the panel beneath the safety so that the safety movement would push away, not trap, the flesh of my hand. For me, though, this is but a small price to pay for the advantages of easily operating the safety with either hand and lessening accidental disengagement, which I often manage to do when carrying or using other 1911 pistols lacking this thoughtful consideration. (My usual solution is to either remove the off-side safety or file the flange down to such an extent that it takes effort to operate it at all.)

    The author’s hand was pinched here.

    The P938 Nightmare’s slide comes equipped with SIGLITE night sights, which are held in dovetails on the slide. While not specifically addressed in the accompanying instruction manual, the SIGLITE sights, as well as the standard sights, are adjustable for elevation. Six rear and five front sights allow approximately a 2″ point-of-impact change at 25 yards. You adjust windage by moving either or both sights in their retaining dovetail cuts.

    The ejection port is quite large. There are seven grasping grooves to its rear. The spring-powered extractor, retained by a hollow pin, is on the ejection port’s right side. The sides of the slide have the SIG look, which is a centered relief cut with the top portion narrower than the lower portion. This treatment runs from muzzle to the rear of the ejection port.

    SIG Sauer P938 fronstrap photo
    The trigger is grooved and the front strap checked.

    Examining the bottom of the slide shows a feature first used on the cartridge pick- up rail of the P238. This is a dome-shaped projection on the bottom forward portion of the rail, and its function, according to a SIG engineer, is to help ensure the last round’s empty case fully clears the gun. As was explained to me, when the last shot is fired and an empty magazine is in the gun, the dome then presses against the magazine follower as the now-empty case extracts and ejects. Also, the forward lower edge of the pick-up rail is beveled to aid the cartridge’s movement into the barrel chamber.

    The alloy frame has a decent-sized beavertail, relieved at its top, allowing the exposed grooved and skeletonized hammer to move down into it when the gun cycles. The magazine well is slightly beveled. The frontstrap and the mainspring housing are finely checkered. The horizontally-grooved slide catch, magazine release and ambidextrous thumb safety are all on the left side and frame-mounted in 1911 locations. The slide catch is above the trigger guard, the magazine catch is at the guard’s lower left rear and the manual safety is at the top-rear of the slide (on both left and right sides, of course). Safety note:You can manipulate the slide for loading, unloading or chamber inspection with the safety in the up or on position.

    SIG Sauer P938 rear photo
    The mainspring housing is checked, too.

    SIG has also addressed a problem I found with my Colt Government .380, on which the thumb safety is too easily dislodged. On the P938, the thumb safeties move positively but with authority in and out of on-safe or off-safe mode.

    The pivoting polymer trigger is vertically grooved on its face. My measurements showed trigger weights of 7 or 7.5 lbs., depending on where I placed the trigger gauge arm on the curved trigger face. Also as mentioned earlier, there is no grip safety or barrel bushing, but a passive firing pin safety system is in the slide and is similar to that used in other semi-autos.

    The single flush-fit, all-metal magazine holds six rounds and features six inspection holes on each side. An optional seven-round magazine is in the pipeline (it will come standard with P938 Extreme). I was sent one of these optional seven-round mags for inclusion in this article. The protruding magazine has a polymer spacer that fills in the space created by its additional length, with the collar fitting nicely and adding to the grip length. I found the collar improved the gun’s feel because I could now get a full three-finger grip. It actually adds only .5″–.625″ to the length of the frame, but I’d go with this setup over the flush-fit magazine for everyday carry unless maximum concealment is absolutely necessary.

    Disassembly

    SIG Sauer P938 slide photo
    When the recoil assembly is correctly installed (unlike here), the notched area won’t visible.

    To disassemble the Sig Sauer P938 (after ensuring the gun is unloaded and magazine removed), move the slide rearward until the slide disassembly notch is aligned with the slide-stop tab. With slide stop removed, the slide comes off to the front of the frame, but take care not to lose control of the non-captive recoil spring on its full-length, stainless steel guide rod. Remove this assembly with forward pressure and a lift. You can then drop the barrel down and out of the slide.

    For those familiar with the Colt Government .380, there was a problem of sear spring over-ride of its ejector, which was corrected by Colt with a user-installed metal clip. SIG addressed this by having the lower edge of the sear spring captured in a notch cut in the lower forward face of the mainspring housing.

    SIG Sauer P938 ejector photo
    Don’t depress the ejector too far when disassembling!

    When you re-assemble the P938, there are a few musts. You must make sure the narrower end of the recoil spring faces the rear on the guide rod. Also, the notched side of the guide rod must face toward the barrel. (If done correctly, you can’t see the notched area when the assembly is installed.) If you don’t do either of these steps, the gun will malfunction.

    Also—and this is another biggy—you must depress the ejector only enough to allow the slide full rearward travel on the frame. Push the ejector down too far and your next step is shipping the gun back to SIG. Per the instruction manual, “This condition is not correctable at the operator level—the pistol must be returned to SIG Sauer for repair.” For those who might have done this with the Colt .380 and managed to correct it, I don’t see this happening here because the internal parts are not the same.

    Range Report

    Bill Beradelli shooting photo
    Bill Beradelli fires the author’s sample SIG P938 Nightmare.

    At the range, three of us shot this sample gun with a limited amount of ammunition, which included Federal Hydra-Shok 147-grain JHP, Hornady 124-grain JHP/XTP and Winchester 115-grain FMJ. We shot at 15 yards, seated, over a gun bag rest, with a Master Gamma Chrony chronograph, 300 feet above sea level in an ambient temperature of 73 degrees F. The groups listed below represent a five-shot average:

    • Federal Hydra-Shok 147-grain JHP: 931 fps, 2.125″ group
    • Hornady 124-grain JHP/XTP: 1,020 fps, 1.875″ group
    • Winchester 115-grain FMJ: 1,051 fps, 3.75″ group

    The author’s target results from 15 yards, seated, using a table for a rest.

    All the ammunition worked without any failures. (Note: SIG recommends changing the recoil spring every 1,500 rounds for best functioning.) The only limitations I found were the same as what I had with the P238. Down-range accuracy depends on distance to target, but more important for me was how well or not I managed the trigger. Most important, however, was how well or not I maintained the same stiff arm hold while firing. The short sight radius didn’t help either.

    I did try the longer magazine and found the results to be the same, but I felt I was expending less effort to get there. That said, the P938 is not a bulls-eye pistol unless the “target” is a well-placed defensive shot or two, three or more fired in self defense. For this purpose, the P938 will dot an I, so to speak.

    Final Thoughts

    With SIG’s introduction of the P938 semiauto pistol chambered in 9mm, we now have a quite viable miniaturized version of the 1911 handgun for personal defense. SIG has not re-invented anything, but certainly has improved on an existing design and has provided those devotees of the 1911 with a choice of caliber and operation well suited for personal defense in a highly-concealable package.

    1. I BELIEVE THAT THIS GUN IS A GOOD CONCEPT. IF IT IS TRULY BASED ON THE P238 PLATFORM IT WILL BE A GREAT SUCCESS AND PROBABLY KILL THE KIMBER SOLO. I HAVE OWNED A P238 FROM DAY ONE AND LOVE IT. THE EXTRA STOPPING POWER WOULD BE ADDING CHOCOLATE TO THE ALREADY GREAT CAKE.

    2. I got the new P938 Extreme. Love the feel and shoots very accurate dispite what other shooters are saying. The main flaw I have found so far is the FTE’s with Certain Ammo. The Fix for this from Sig direct is to use only 124 grain and above which in a gun this size will hurt a little more I am sure but if it doesn’t jam should be worth that added effort.

    4. Picked up an extreme a month ago. still on the fence as to whether I like it as well as my 238. A problem I’ve encountered though is when the last round is ejected, the follower sometimes cants backward in the magazine and locks the slide 1/2 way. I have to eject the mag and rack the slide to reset. I will call Sig about this. Overall, a fun gun.

    5. I’ve had my P938 about 30 days and have about 500-600 rounds through it. I have not reached the point where I’m confident in the gun as a carry weapon (Ruger SR9c is my choice for carry). FMJ seems to feed fine; hollow points not as well. Jams, failure to feed, stove pipes seem common. The dealer polished the ramp and that helped but didn’t cure the issue. Looks like it will be going back to Sig. I generally like the gun overall.

    6. I’ve run a few hundred rounds thru my P938. 115 grain white box Winchester FMJ and 124 grain Fiocci HP. Zero FTE, zero issues period. Maybe Sig has fine tuned the design a bit, I’ve read quite a few reviews where FTE sounded common with 115 grain rounds so I was hesitant to try it. That’s what I’ve run thru the most now and I’m really enjoying this pistol. Decent groups at 25 yards IMHO for a pistol this size!

    7. I recently bought a p938 and am very impressed. In my opinion it is a handsome looking pistol, easily manageable, accurate, reliable, very concealable and seems to successfully shoot various brands of 9mm ammunition without fussiness. I have owned and shot numerous small pistols and I like this one best.

    8. love the size. have not shot it yet, just got it last nite. only problem i have had so far , the magazine is hard to load after two rounds. it may be my old hands. 78 years old. other wise it looks great for carry. cocked and locked. retired military. Should sell every one they make. mine is the nightmare mode.

    10. This is my 3rd handgun to own. I have recently gotten on the gun/ammo bandwagon and therefore have tried several small/micro pistols. Looking for concealed carry for a small frame female 5’7 131 lbs.
      This pistol compared to Ruger LCP and Lc9 wins hands down. Compared to my S&W Bodyguard 380 it is easier to shot by far! I am able to conceal it, edges are smooth, it’s load with even 115gr but i do not find the recoil to be a deterrent. I wanted something that would have more knockdown power without the canon feel of my Kimber 1911 Super Ultra Carry II (.45 cal.). The Kimber definitely has the sweetest trigger of them all though.
      I find the slide easy to manage and feel in control of the weapon. No pain or discomfort for my small, weaker grip/hands.
      Waiting on the Kimber Solo to compare.
      The novice…, nonetheless, gun lover!

    11. Got p938 equinox last Christmas as a gift. so far I used all type of ammo I got from 115 to 147 grain (about 400 rounds) no problem at all. very good groups at 15 yards or less. It is my carry gun now. only thing don’t like about this Sig is for $700.00 pistol but come with only 1 6 rounds magazine. Sig should include a 6 and a 7 round magazines (very hard to find the 7 rounds magazine)

    12. I notice what appears to be a “half cock” position. Is it safe to carry the P938 with a round chambered? Does one use the “half cock” position for the hammer when doing so?

      No votes yet.
      Please wait...
    13. Mike, it’s not safe to use the half cock to carry the pistol with the chamber loaded. The purpose of the half-cock notch is to catch or capture the hammer if the hammer slips out from your fingers when lowering it fully forward over a loaded chamber.
      If you choose to lower the hammer over a loaded chamber, you should–must–practice (a lot) this with an empty gun. One method of lowering the hammer fully forward is to hold it with thumb and forefinger and while covering the rear of the firing pin with another finger, press the trigger after taking a good hold and then then slowly lower the hammer. When the lowering hammer touches the finger covering the firing pin, slide this finger out of position and continue to slowly and fully lower the hammer.
      Don’t get cocky! It’s all too easy to have the hammer slip while doing this, and because you’ve now pressed the trigger, the now falling hammer won’t be caught by the half-cock notch.

    14. I’m a 1911 junkie, and settled long ago on a Kimber Ultra Carry II. So, when I saw this miniature 1911 manufactured by Sig, I had to hold it. Once I did, I told the sales guy I would do some research that night and get back to him. Walt’s review was one of them, and enforced my decision to buy this weapon. I was a bit worried about the original versions, but felt Sig had corrected the problem. My break in session could not have gone better. I shot 250 of my reloads, with neither FTFs or FTEs. Accuracy was outstanding. Recoil very manageable. Bottom line–gotta get you one!!!

    15. A nice, compact dead-on hitting pistol. I have the SAS model which is great for concealed carry, fires all sorts of ammo.
      Dinged it 2 stars, 1 for the non-captive recoil spring which requires some wrestling to get it back in place and 1 for the hard to load mags…the last 2 bullets are a struggle….I use an aftermarket mag loader to make it easier when I’m shooting a lot at the range.

    16. My P938 is always fully “cocked and locked”. The thumb safety is excellent, no worries. Also I only use 115 FMJ, Runs great, I think I had one failure the first time I took it to the range. No failures last 300 rds later.

    17. I thought no gun would replace my Glock 23 for EDC but this P938 is near perfect carry. With an extended 7rd mag with Speer GDP +P Short Barrel ammo cocked & locked it gives me a great, accurate defensive tool I can carry IWB, OWB or pocket. I have had zero issues with ammo which I attribute to 124gr HP/FMJ being ideal for a gun this size/weight. For those who think the recoil sharp I suggest the Hogue rubber grip like the one on my Blackout model. Accuracy is center mass, great at up to 15yd….beyond that you shouldn’t be firing defensive shots anyway.

    19. My P938 Nitemare has provided all the expectations I had for it. It’s consumed close to 1,000 rounds with no failures of any kind. Contrary to alot of threads it’s fired every kind of ammo it has been fed. It has not seen steel casings. It never disappoints, my wife enjoys firing it although the recoil is not to her liking, even with 115 standard FMJ. Agreed…it’s not a target pistol but at 10-15 yards the pattern is tight.

    20. I purchased the 938 AG and can’t say enough about how comfortable it is to shoot. I have small hands and generally find a double stack grip a bit bulky for me. The trade-off to 6 or 7 shots is well worth the security of the grip to me. It’s light weight and minimum recoil also have me back on target quickly shot after shot. Love the sights. Love the accuracy at 15 yards. It’s definitely a keeper!

    21. I have owned the Nightmare version of this gun for about 2-1/2yrs now and absolutely love it! During this time I have shot it every week (sometimes 2 times/ wk) with no issues since the 1st box of ammo. I had one feed issue when the gun was brand new and none since. That is pretty amazing considering I reload most of my range ammo and have put over 6,500 rounds through it. Perhaps some may say I just got a good one but my daughter shoots a 938 as well with similar results. I put everything from low velocity 100g RN reloads to 124g +P JHP through it and not a single issue since the 1st box. I will say you may want to get 300+ rounds through it before using lightweight low velocity reloads – let the spring break in. The gun shoots more accurate than I can (sub 2″ groups at 7 – 12yrds), is a pleasure to shoot, easy to breakdown and easy to carry (which I do). Yes this may seem like an advertisement but properly used and cared for you can’t beat this for a 1911 style concealed carry.

    22. Just bought mine three days ago, dinged it one star for the recoil spring and another for the sharp edges on the trigger.
      I used various reloads, 4.7 to 5.3 grains of HP-38 behind 90- 115 gr. hornady XTPs with no problems at all.
      It will replace my DB9 as daily carry pocket gun after a couple more trips to the range.

    23. reply to Ssnow
      Some have complained about the trigger and some said the bottom of it bites but since this is a hinged trigger (not like the 1911) the best finger technique for comfort and accuracy is placing the finger tip high up against the frame while pressing to fire. It has greatly improved my accuracy which I criticized at first. This tip was passed to me by a long time pro shooter.

      Fantastic pocket pistol. I find this Sig 938 SAS being my daily carry. It is accurate and easy to shoot and carry. No performance issues for me at over 600 rounds of good HP ammo. I am very happy with my Sig 938. I love the single action trigger.

    26. I have the Equinox configuration of the P938. In spite of a couple of issues like grip screws migrating out during a range session ( use blue locktite) or the fiber optic filament going missing after my last range session, (in for replacement)I love this little pistol Very accurate at 10 yds or less. Sig customer service has been excellent as well. The P938 replaced my Beretta Tomcat .32 acp, the Sig offers more punch with much better sights. I hope this is the last trip to the shop though because this is the most comfortable of all my carry pistols and I miss having it with me.
      In my limited experience FTE’s are a result of week grip. I had a couple , little more grip did the trick.

    29. A pocket pistol I can easily slip in a pocket holster and not feel I have compromised my safety. I have had it about a year and I think SIG refined the product to eliminate any early production bugs. It did take some range time to become accurate with a pistol this small. I put over 500 rounds through it before it’s first cleaning.

    32. I’ve carried my P938 almost two years now and love it just as much as my Sig 1911. I won’t say it hasn’t had any problems though because the front night sight (Mepro) has gone dark twice. Sig quickly replaced it but don’t understand how that can happen to radio active sights. Has anyone else experienced that?

    33. Purchased a new P938 SAS just last Sat at a gun show, so far I am impressed with the way it handles and shoots right out of the case, shooting four inch groups at 25/35 ft. Not bad for me. After a box of 100 win 115 gn rn no problems at all, except sore thumb loading 7 round mag. This will replace my Kimber ultra carry as my carry weapon, it is smaller and lighter. I have carried the ultra carry for years but as I get older (68) it is just too much and the P938 feels and shoots almost just like it so not hard to change.

    34. Jerry:
      Try a Maglula speed loader. It will save your thumb. They are available at Wallymart or Academy.

      They are not caliber specific. I use mine for .45, .38 Super, 9mm and 10mm. They also sell the attachment that snaps onto the bottom for single stack mags.

    37. Love this gun! Hides pretty well in a pocket, but prints more than I expected.
      Sent hundreds of rounds down range without issue. This thing is really accurate when you need it to be, that surprised me… Has some pretty snappy recoil but that’s to be expected with such a small nine.
      Houge rubber grips don’t holster well so I got sig rosewood grips. Reused the Houge grip screws but they must not have been long enough. Next time i went to the ranger the right side upper stripped and fell out. There’s that recoil again. Bummer!
      For such an expensive gun, I was dissapointed in the cheap plastic trigger. The geometry must be bad because it inevitably bites your finger. Needs an aftermarket trigger and trigger job.

    38. A few tips on this great little gun:
      Pocket carry is very easy with a Sig Clip Holster. Two excellent holsters for this gun: N8 Squared Tactical and Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 3.0 IWB. The best accuracy with this pivoting trigger is finger tip pad high up to frame (and no finger bite).

    39. I HAVE READ MOST OF ANYTHING I COULD FIND ABOUT THE P-938 , & THEN WENT 3 DAYS AGO—9–19–2015 & WAS PREPARED TO SPEND $ 700.00 ON ONE. I WENT TO FINS–FEATHERS–FUR OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT & WAS LOOKING AT ALL OF THE DIFFERENT MODELS. A SALESMAN CAME OVER TO HELP ME & SAID, TAKE A LOOK AT THIS ‘ SPECIAL ‘ … IT WAS A TWO–TONE WITH A LAZER & TWO MAGS. THE SALE PRICE WAS—- $ 519,00 PLUS TAX !!! I THOUGHT HE MADE A MISTAKE, SO I ASKED HIM AGAIN. SAME ANSWER— $ 519.00 P;LUS TAX !!! SINCE I WAS GOING TO PAY $ 687.00 FOR THE EQUINOX WITHOUT A LAZER—I THOUGHT I WOULD SAVE $ 168.00 $ GET A LAZER TO BOOT. IT WAS CERTAINLY WORTH IT–NITE SIGHTS & ALL !!! BEAUTIFUL PISTOL, NITE SIGHTS, LAZER, BOTH SIDE SAFETIES, TWO MAGS, HOLSTER & ALL— $ 519.00 PLUS TAX–CAN’T BEAT THAT MY FRIENDS !!!

    41. There is a seller on ebay who sells a custom molded clip (magazine) loader made specifically for the P938.It is small,light, comes in different colors.It fits the magazine like a glove and works flawlessly.Mine cost $10.35 with shipping inclusive.

    42. Review of Clip loader inaccurate.I wrote a review on custom molded cip loader for Sig P938.Then I purchased a seven round extended magazine.This clip loader found on ebay in different colors will not load the seventh round into the clip.The plastic gives because it is too soft with the result that the magazine will not insert fully and “catch”.So I bought an UPLULA 9mm-45 cal. magazine loader.It works very well.Sorry about initial inaccurate post.

    43. The ratings for this pistol appear low. Or, maybe I was lucky?? (Doubt the luck, though.) And the author’s shot groups are really loose for this pistol at 15 yards, in my opinion. Perhaps it’s because he’s older (if that’s his photo) and unsteady. The point is that I regularly shoot this pistol at the range and put 7 rounds within a 1-1/2″ circle at 10 yes and 2″ at 15 yards. Just saying.

    44. Jay, at 6.9 stars out of 10, the P938 is actually doing well on GunsGunsGuns.net. Across all guns on the site and the roughly 45,000 total votes submitted, 6.0 stars is the average rating. So, at 6.9 stars, the P938 is well above average per the wisdom of the crowd. And with roughly 500 votes, that 6.9 rating is plenty accurate with a small margin of error.
