Nine by Design. The Sig Sauer P938 has been described as the P238�s bigger brother. Chambered in 9mm, the gun highly resembles its .380 counterpart. In fact, the two pistols share so many of the same features that when viewing the P938 from a distance, most folks swear they are actually looking at a P238. To handle the significantly more potent Parabellum cartridge, Sig Sauer had to do a little more work than just re- chamber a P238 barrel.

For starters, Sig had to increase the frame size to accommodate a bigger magazine for the longer 9x19mm round. Since the 9mm is capable of almost double the energy, they also had to re-proportion the slide to handle the extra power. Finally, the recoil spring and guide had to be modified to buffer the extra pressure.

The P938 Legion is a single action pistol on a lightweight alloy-frame that can be carried in a manner similar to the 1911 handgun. The hammer must be cocked back either manually, or by the action of the slide, to fire every shot. The advantage to this operation is two- fold.

First and foremost, similar to the Colt 1911, the Sig Sauer has a superior trigger pull when compared to double action autos. In turn, this leads to greater accuracy. It has a crisp trigger that makes for a more pleasurable shooting experience than most double-action-only subcompact pistols.

Second, the P938 Legion's single action design allows Sig Sauer to incorporate a high ride beavertail grip frame, which leads to greater control under recoil by safely placing the shooter's hand up higher along the bore axis. This generous beavertail grip also protects the web of the hand between the shooter�s thumb and trigger finger, and the hammer recesses into the beavertail section, to avoid any chance of hammer or slide-bite while firing.

In addition to being a great-looking pistol, the Sig Sauer P938 is much easier to load than other micro 9mm's on the market. For shooters that do not possess strong hands, it's smooth and easy slide is one of its greatest features. There are also positive vertical serrations on the back of the slide that further enhance loading and unloading.

The slide locks to the rear on an empty magazine, and the slide latch release is easy to reach with the thumb of the shooting hand. Similarly, it has a user friendly manual thumb safety which further enhances shooter usability. However, there is no grip or magazine safety.

While the 1911 is a "cocked-and-locked" design, the P938 is actually "cocked-and-unlocked". In other words, the slide can essentially be moved back and forth while the thumb safety remains engaged. This engineering design feature allows for the safe loading or unloading of the pistol.

Similarly, the aluminum alloy frame has been black hard coat anodized for additional wear resistance. To prevent abrasion of clothing or skin, the slide and sharp edges have been rounded. With a 3" barrel and a seven round extended magazine, the P938 Extreme has been designed to handle the extra energy from the 9mm cartridge.

A set of excellent factory X-Ray night sights sit on top of the slide, are highly visible, easy to use and tracks well in low light conditions. Hogue G10 Piranha grips provide a secure hold while firing the pistol. For warranty or repair, the pistol is backed by a manufacturers lifetime warranty. Overall, the Sig Sauer P938 Legion is an ultra compact, lightweight, reliable and user friendly 9mm handgun that is made here in the U.S.A.
