Short review: Sig P238

[helicopterpilotdoug]

Even the safety is covered in a Desantis pocket holster. The safety has a "click" rather than just up and down... so you know if it engages or disengages.

Ah ok, with the safety covered it should be all good. Don't think the "click" would help too much otherwise.

The "click" is very positive on the P 238. It's not likely the safety would come off unless you thumb it down. There is a small ball bearing behind the safety lever that engages into a ball detent.

Unless you use some downward pressure on the lever, I doubt it would move to the off position while in a holster that covers it. Loose in a purse or pocket it might get enough pressure from something pushing against it, but it's doubtful.

Good clarification. I noticed that as well when I handled one (although I haven't shot one yet).
