It's not like a 1911, it's a copy of the old Colt Mustang.

@mrrightwing1000

It's very much like a 1911

This gun is reminicent of the Colt 380 pocketlite. Would be a good alternative for someone looking for the Colt. Probably high quality with Sig.

@flabeachcomber

A lot easier to find

You can keep repeating your ignorant comment, but it doesn't change the fact of the pistol's design. A single action pistol is designed to be carried cocked and locked, properly holstered. Repeatedly showing your ignorance of firearms and lack of training doesn't negate this fact.

What decock lever?

Because it is a single action pistol, condition one carry requires it be carried cocked. It seems you need a little training yourself.

Ignore the mall ninja heathens here on the tube, You're doing a good job, Keep up the videos, man!

[SuperRip7]

I even like that Sig.

Can the P238 be carried comfortably in a front pants pocket holster? I know there are smaller .380s but I like Sigs. Is this gun too heavy or bulky to carry in a pocket?

@sigcrazy7 - Still say safety or pulling back hammer is the same motion, and some of the single or single/double's I've seen have a De Cocker built in to safely lower the hammer and put the gun on safe. Wasn't sure if their was a device like in my revolvers that kept the pin from touching the round unless the trigger was al the way back. That right their would be the only reason I didn't carry hammer down safety off. Thanks for that info.

@vulpixgrant

There's a few reasons you should carry cocked & locked. First, a carry weapon should be ready to use. Second, lowering the hammer on a loaded chamber is dangerous. Third, on the series 70, there is no firing pin block. A lowered hammer could cause the gun to fire if dropped on the hammer. Those are three main ones there.

The M&P is a fine weapon to carry loaded. It has a plunger style pin block and trigger safely, and is designed to be carried loaded with a good holster.

@sigcrazy7 - Old 1911 style carry, very intimidating to see in a holster. I've never been comfortable carrying a weapon like that. My M&P Smith Pin Fire when a round is in the chamber the pin is primed, so I never carry that. For carrying this type of single action only weapon, what's the huge deal carrying it loaded and hammer down safety off compared to loaded hammer at ready and safety on? You have to use your thumb to make it ready to fire one way or other? Just goes against the style?

This little pistol rocks!! I just wish the all black versions were the same price as the two tone version. I think a kahr is my next gun possibly they are sweet little shooters. Check out my sig on my channel. I got rid of the two tone.
