i have a p238 and it's surprisingly (was to me anyway) a VERY good shooter.
I was expecting something along the lines of an LCP, but the bitty Sig it shoots a million times better.
I can't trust mine for carry though.
A couple times the trigger has failed to reset

My pocket gun is a S&W Airweight hammerless revolver
(mdl 642 to be exact)

i don't trust "mouse gun" autos .
My P238 only solidifies my concerns



you mentioned the Kahr .
interestingly enough, I shot one today.
My friend recently bought it .
PM9 I think it is.

very long trigger pull, very long reset, but a pretty good shooting pistol.
In spite of the long DAO pull, I found it pretty easy to dump a mag full into an 8" circle in a hurry .
I was appx 25 to 30ft from the target


I liked it so well, that if I ever buy a small compact auto, the Kahr will be high on my short list



..l.T.A.

Sorry to hear about your troubles with your 238 Cap. I have a 642 and I usually dont carry it for pocket carry due to the weight. I trust my LCP to go bang and is super light. I dont mind the long reset and trigger pull on the Kahrs or my LCP. I actually prefer that for pocket carry guns. Even though the Kahr trigger is long, I agree with you it is very smooth.

Here is why I like my LCP.


Bald and myself have had the discussion on the 238 vs LCP on weight and so forth. We both had good points and I like the fact that the 238 is like a mini 1911. The price is what got me though. I think Bald got a way better deal than I could have.

My son has an LCP.
We shot appx 100 rounds when he first got it.
no problems with it, but I personally don't care for it or the Kel-Tec cousin

BTW, i don't put the LCP, SIG, Kel-tec, etc in the same "mouse gun" class at the Kahr PM/CM9
The Kahr is a small auto, but I don't consider it a true "mouse gun"


as far as my Sig...
I'm pretty anal about a carry gun .
2 MALFs in 400 rnds will take it out of the carry rotation for "me" until I can determine why and fix it.
Then after a 200 flawless round trial it can go back in the rotation .

But I am liking my wife's 238 and am thinking of getting one for me.

told you so.....
Mine has fed everything I've stuffed in a mag. (appx 500 rnds)
Cheap Czech ammo, (that's noticeably weaker compared to everything else) WWB, God Dots, Ranger T HP, Hornady Critical Defense all fed without a bobble .
I figure the reset hic-up can't be all that big of a deal to get squared away

I agree with the Kahr statement. Kahr hit it right with the PM9. I love my P9.

Yea I too have loved my Kahr PM9. I haven't had any failures yet and it's a great shooter. I also have a Sig P238 which I carry in my pocket in a pocket holster most of the time. I carry my PM9 IWB appendix carry.

I love both guns, yes I would rather carry 9mm over 380, anyways everyone knows that argument.

I would like to find the MK9 with the SS frame and see how she shoots compared to the PM9.

Yes I would love to be able to carry my CCO or VBOB all the time but sometimes with my job I just can't.
