My P938 had the same problem after I loaned it out. I sent it back to Sig & they found the sear pin was broken. Apparently, someone let the hammer drop while the slide was off.

Try this: With the hammer cocked, the safety is hard to engage. Pull the hammer back and hold it. Does the safety engage easily? That''s the way mine behaved with the broken sear pin.
Thanks for the advice, I just tried that but it is the same, it may be that it's just tight and will work itself out in time.
OK. That pretty much rules out anything inside the pistol. The safety detent is actually a ball bearing & spring. You can see the ball bearing on the left side of the pistol. The left safety lever is the only thing holding the ball in. Get some lube on that ball & work the safety on & off a bunch of times. UNLOADED, of course. :tiphat:

True, it takes several hundred rounds and some cleaning to break in. I still struggle with the recoil spring assembly.
