This takes a little thought, but makes it easy to retrieve one before answering the door or in the event of a prowler.

Oh I do that, too, but I'd like a pocket carry-able BUG anyway. If I can find one I like, it might as well be light enough for my belt-less shorts to hold up.

I like the P238 and I'm fine with its trigger. It is heavier than the 1911 trigger, but only enough to be safe for a pocket-able gun. It is still very crisp.

I just simply haven't found a need to pocket carry. Belt carry just isn't a problem for me. If I DID want to pocket carry, the P238 is what I would carry.

Not everyone is as strong willed as you and able to resist those seductive Ultra Carries, particularly when there's one in the safe right next to the P238 which is going to be carried on the belt anyway.

I understand, and it makes sense.

You should still follow my previous advice unless you are ready to spend money.

A light SA trigger on a gun in a serious defensive caliber in an envelope only slightly larger and heavier than that pretty Sig you've got makes too much sense to walk away from once you've shot one.

Not to mention you can get highly reliable reasonably priced magazines for it in lots of different sizes and configurations almost anywhere all day long.

I know you want to stay happy with the little Sig, so just keep your distance from those seductive, homewrecking Ultra Carries.

Sig has gone through 3 designs for the mag follower since using the original Colt design on the first. I cannot successfully use Colt mags on my P238, nor are the fist Sig magazines reliable in my gun. Below is a photo of the follower that causes issues, that is well documented on the Sig forum. The Sig magazine on the right is a duplicate of the Mustang mag and may cause issues in the P238. Note the very high rise on the follower. The one on the left is the second iteration of the Sig magazine (works well for me), and the 3d iteration I don't have a picture of, but they have proven the most reliable.
