I picked up my new P938 "Sport" from my LGS. This is a P938 from the Sig custom shop where they took options from other guns and put it all together on one. Think "Nightmare, Equinox, and Rubber Grip" in one model. This includes the excellent TFO night sights. These are made out of steel now and are very solid. I have these on a P229 and love them. I highly recommend them. Silver hardware on black Nitron with Hogue rubber grips. The gun comes with 2 magazines 6+1 and 7+1. It also comes with a Sig holster.
After taking inventory and checking its 04/17/2013 birth date, I took the grips off and cleaned and Frog Lubed the entire gun. After heating the parts up and burning myself with the heat gun, I generously applied the Frog Lube and let it sit for 45 minutes. I could instantly tell the Frog Lube worked its magic.
After wiping off the Frog Lube, I head out to my range with a 150 rounds of WWB and S£B 115 FMJ. I also took out my favorite personal protection rounds, Critical Duty 135 +P and Golden Saber 124 +p.
The magazines were stiff to load. The trigger was very good and broke clean and crisp with a very short reset. I am old school 1911 so this gun is perfect for me.
It was raining today in Central Pa but that wasn't gonna stop me so I shot in the rain.
Not one issue to report. All ammo ran flawless and ejected right where I would want it to. Recoil was minimal compared to other lightweight guns I shoot.
Accuracy is outstanding.....Who every points their finger at the P938 for being hard to shoot accurately needs to point their finger at the shooter behind the gun.
My first 7 shots at 10 yards would have been good for a full size service gun. My groups only got better as I shot further into the ammo. I found the longer 7 round mag a bit more accurate in my hands but the 6+1 left my pinky dangle but accuracy was still good only ever so slightly left. I did some tactical reloads. The magazines shot out of the gun like a proper 1911 IDPA gun should. Double taps and rapid fire was easy with the single action trigger.
I would have no problem shooting a IDPA match with the P938. My personal protection +p loads ran flawlessly. The 135+P Critical Duty had less recoil and were exceptionally accurate. ( I am talking 7 rounds in the size of a 50 cent piece.) The Golden Saber 124+p were very accurate but the CD 135 had less felt recoil so that's what I will use. I am sure all my top brand rounds will be more than accurate enough simply because my P938 didn't seem to be picky at all what it was shooting. Even point of impact was dead on to all my other P229's.
Holster size was easy. It fits the same size as my S&W Bodyguard 380. That means a Uncle Mikes size 2 pocket holster fits perfectly. The safety can be engaged when racking the slide. Its a nice touch. The rubber grips were nice but a bit chubby for a pocket pistol duty so I called Jon at High Figure Grips and ordered a very special set of grips. Jon is a heck of a nice guy and his grips are probably the best you can buy. I can't recommend him enough. I sweated over which grips to buy on his web site for a week. They all look outstanding. A gun this nice deserves some quality custom grips. highfiguregrips.com - Sig P938
With 7 +1 of Critical Duty 135+p, I feel well armed enough to use the P938 as a full time CCW. Its small, light at 16oz, accurate, and feeds everything. I don't really feel like I am shooting a pint size pocket pistol. To me it feels like a compact 1911 and that's the point.
My new Sig P938 ran like,...... well,..... a Sig.
More to come...........
