Range Report: Sig P238 HD

I already have a Sig P238 two-tone, which has an alloy lower (which saves weight, making the gun a superb CCW gun) but I decided to also get the Sig P238 HD, which is all-steel and weighs about 4 oz. more (enough to notice).

I got the gun to the range today, and put about 90 rounds through it. Had one jam on about the 80th round, which I quickly cleared and which did not recur. I was shooting Fiocci target rounds, FMJ ball.

The gun shoots very nicely; superbly for a gun this size. I got lots of bulls-eyes, and even more non-bull's-eyes. :eek:

One of the things that I really like about the P238 is that it is essentially a simplified and scaled down 1911. The gun is easy to break down and clean and even the extractor and firing pin are removed in much the same way as a 1911 albeit a little simpler.

Anyway, I am pleased with the gun and I may make it one of my CCW licensed guns (in CA OC we are allowed three).

Sharp gun!

My colleague has an HD. It handles the recoil better because of the weight, so there is a lot more control.

However I can do controlled pairs at 25 yard gongs with my alloy framed P238.

A good friend of mine has one and much like my P290 it has really surprised me with it's reliability and relative accuracy for their size. I'm not a real big fan of newer Sigs but they both are great little pistols even though quite pricey compared to some of the competition.
