| just wonder how everyone like this gun ,i really like the copperhead model. any problems.A guy there was saying he feeding issues with his & was in the process of trading it in |
| My buddy owns one that he carries frequently. It works now, but was a turd when he bought it. I don't want to go through what he did in order to make it run (admitedly, it is a nice gun, and the odds of me getting another steamer is slim, but still...) so I'm going to wait for the new Mustang. |

I don't want to go through what he did in order to make it run (admitedly, it is a nice gun, and the odds of me getting another steamer is slim, but still...) so I'm going to wait for the new Mustang. The difference between the new and old Mustang is the old was a cast frame and slide and the new one is made from barstock. The Mustang and P238 where exactly the same internally when Sig first made the P238. The main problems people where having with them stemmed from using a weak recoil spring(like the Mustang) and Mustang followers in the mags. Since going to a slope/dimple follower, stronger recoil spring and a few tweaked internals, the P238 is much better. Unless Colt let Sig do the R&D for them and copy what changes they made it will start off with the flaws Sig eventually fixed. I'm interested in seeing the "new" Mustang mags and internals to know if Colt did just that. Its why the Colt mags and parts fit into the P238. That stainless trigger I added will fit either model. |

COMPLETE JUNK GUN. i traded mine back to sig for a 522 and alot of goodies and never looked back. Me and others have reliable P238's. For others who might be interested please elaborate on your problems: ammo used, old or new style magazine, first run production model, ftf/fte, etc. Thanks. |

Love mine. its my work carry pistol (off work carry is a M&P9c). ive polished the feed ramp and entire barrel, added some rubber grip tape to the grips. just picked up the Colt Mustang mag at a local shop for $10!
i had an LCP but like the Sig much better. Much more accurate.

I've put 3 boxes through mine and haven't had a hiccup once. I guess it really is hit or miss with some P238's. |
