Just as an aside for you or anyone who may be looking at this thread, if you can ever get ahold of Sig CS rep Victoria, she is head and shoulders above the rest. Sig's CS has had its ups and downs over the years, but she's been one of the constants. 99% of the time she'll go the extra mile for the customer to get an issue resolved, so much so that I've been known to call until she answers. Good luck with your 238.

Slide Glide? Not sure if I've ever seen that anywhere. Who makes it?

I've used the MPro7 cleaner with good luck on my Sigs. As for lube, Sigs tend to prefer grease over oil (I personally prefer grease on on my handguns, tends to stay in place better, especially if I'm carrying them). Slide Glide is just one one option, its produced and marketed by Brian Enos (http://www.brianenos.com/pages/slide-glide.html); but as I say there are a lot of quality greases out there out there. I've even talked with folks that use MobilOne grease or similar with satisfactory results.

Three FTE out of 50 rds of Fiocchi 95 grain FMJ. And two FTE out of 25 rds of Remington Golden Sabre 102 grain jacketed hollow point.

Anyone else encounter FTE issues with their P238?

Any suggestions?

Don't many offense by this, but did you clean the gun really well inside and out when you brought it home? Also, what lube are you using on it? As mentioned, Sigs like to run "wet", that's to say with a lot of lube. My favorite for Sigs is Slide-Glide or similar grease.
