The P238 is now on its third generation of magazines and we have put maybe 1,000 rounds through ours with the gen 3 mags and have had zero issues. Ours is 100% reliable. We did have problems with gen 2 magazines with occasional fail to feed and FTEs. I suppose this is a good reason to never buy a newly released model - let others vet it out first.

The 238 works for us because all three of our handguns are SA and all have a thumb safety. When I dry fired an LCP I really disliked the loooong trigger pull. We've put maybe 1,500 rounds through the Sig and it is very, very smooth.

Our P238 is a great little gun - easy and fun to shoot. I've been thinking about adding an LCP to our armory for those times when you just want to slip a little handgun in the front or rear pocket for a quick trip to the store or for a BUG (dear wife usually carries the Sig.) If I had to choose between the P238 or the LCP, I would go with the P238. Real sights and easy recoil so you wouldn't mind putting 50 rounds through it at the range - I've heard the LCP is hard on the hands due to the smaller size. It took quite a bit of range time with the Sig before I was able to dial in my brain to the sights - the P238 sights are 12 o'clock - I have to cover up the target with the three dots which took a little getting used to.
