Default My New 938

Picked up this Sig 938 Extreme a few weeks ago and of course had to make some changes. Now it's my Extreme - Extreme

OK Yankee... Nice touch to the 938, thanks for the pictures. Can you possibly provide a range report for us? I've been thinking about one, but am concerned particularly about recoil on the light frame.
Thanks,
Da

I'd also like a range report, with special note regarding dependability.

Reports abound of them being no more reliable than the initial P238s. My P238 is now running well, but required the new flat springs.

I'm not worried much with recoil. I've pushed my P238 pretty hard with handloads, and didn't get anywhere near painful or uncontrollable....just more snappy.

I don't find the recoil bad at all but recoil is certainly subjective, I shoot a 9mm Rohrbaugh and a 380 Seecamp and the Seecamp is the worst to me.
I have about 150 rounds through it with zero issues of any kind, I have fired Blazer Aluminum, 15 rounds of Wolf steel (a one time thing, I don't like to shoot steel case ammo in anything but my Glock) Speere Gold Dots, WWB and Winchester Ranger. The ammo has been 115gr, 124gr and 147gr.
The 938 has been my EDC lately, I carry in a scabbard style OWB and it is agreat piece, 8rds of 9mm, with eight rounds it weighs 21.4oz.

I'm glad it's been reliable for you, and I do like your changes to the slide.

Very nice! I would also like a range report, trigger and recoil. Are you like , buy them and never shoot them?
