The Sig Sauer 238 HD Nickel .380 borrows heavily from the popular Colt mustang. Being a single action 1911 style subcompact pistol, the Sig 238 HD Nickel has a lightweight nickel coated stainless steel frame with stainless steel nickel coated slide. Being from the 1911 family of pistols, the Sig 238 is meant to be carried hammer back, safety on or "cocked and locked" and has a manual frame mounted safety that is perfectly positioned for easy manipulation and trigger is crisp with a clean break and short reset. The slide on most subcompacts can be hard to rack but because of the design and how the barrel unlocks the Sig 238 HD can be racked with a single finger making it perfect for new shooters or anyone who has trouble manipulating a semi-automatic pistol. The Sig 238 HD Nickel has rosewood grips with Sig Sauer medallion inlayed, giving the Sig 238 HD Nickel a beautiful look. Siglite tritium night sights top the PVD Nickel coated stainless steel slide allowing for a bright sight picture in all lighting conditions.
