Re: Sig P238 - My First Sig

It could be worse. You could have a "too little trigger finger" ;-)

Accuracy with little guns is more of a challenge.
Have you tried shooting from a bench with a rest?
The suggestion of using a laser is good and can determine if
the business-end is pointing close to where you think it is.

Re: Sig P238 - My First Sig

Probably suggesting it's the gun. How would I fix something like that? Can I just adjust it somehow when I put it together? Why is the muzzle down there?
The next time you disassemble your p-238 have a look at the front of the slide. The opening in the slide for the barrel is more of an ovoid than a circle. As you know, when you fire the gun the slide moves towards the rear of the pistol which pushes the rear of the barrel down and the front of the barrel cants up. The slide opening is elongated for that upward motion of the barrel's muzzle. When the slide is in battery the front of the barrel should ride on the lower portion of the barrel opening in the front of the slide. This helps steady (lock-up) the barrel prior to firing a round. Of course, this from my layman's perspective. A real 'smiff can give you the proper chapter and verse and describe the p-238 cycle using the proper vocabulary.

I just took my Sig P238 out to the range today. It continues to be flawless!
