Sig Sauer P238 .380 Auto, 2.70" Barrel, 7 Rounds, SigLite Sights, Black
The P238 BRG finish with black Hogue rubber grips offers the ballistic advantage of the .380 auto cartridge in a platform similar in size to the P938 pistol. The stainless steel slide features the popular trademarked Sig Sauer slide serrations, corrosion resistant edge finish and SigLite Night Sights. A single-action-only trigger, coupled with full-size SigLite Night Sights makes the P238 handle like a much larger pistol, yet is still easy to carry concealed. With dimensions just slightly smaller than its 9mm counterpart, the P238 packs seven plus one rounds of .380 auto into an all-metal frame. The single-action trigger gives the P238 unmatched accuracy in a pistol its size. Fans of the 1911 will find the thumb safety, magazine release and slide stop lever in familiar places.

Caliber Dictionary
The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
Designed by John Browning, the 380 ACP (9mm Browning Short, 9x17) was introduced by Colt in 1908 and by FN in Europe in 1912. The 380 ACP is much more potent than the 32 ACP and is essentially the world-standard personal defense cartridge for pocket and purse-sized semiautomatic pistols. Bullet diameter is 9mm (.356-inch) with case length of .68-inch. Standard bullet weights vary, but most common are bullets of 85 to 95 grains at velocities from around 900 to 1000 feet per second. More important is recent bullet technology, with modern expanding bullets offering greatly enhanced performance over the full metal jacket bullets of John Browning's day. 380 ACP ammunition is offered by all makers of pistol ammo, and the cartridge is chambered by virtually all makers of small to mid-sized pistols. The 380 ACP is comfortable to shoot in medium-sized pistols, but the smallest 380s currently available can be snappy for inexperienced shooters. — Craig Boddington
