Chuck season 4 download episodes free. The SIG Sauer P238 is a compact .380 ACP caliber, single-actionpistol announced by SIG Sauer at the 2009 SHOT Show. It is modelled after the M1911, similar to the Colt Mustang.[1][2] Grip panels are fluted polymer making this an all-metal frame firearm in competition with plastic-framed pistols in the same class like the Ruger LCP and the Kel-Tec P-3AT.[3]
The P238 has an aluminum frame and a stainless steel slide (with the exception of the HD model which is all steel).[4] Initially, P238 pistols had standard sights with night sights as a more expensive option. However, all models currently produced have night sights standard. Starting in 2012, many variants have an ambidextrous thumb safety standard or as an option.
Variants[edit]
When introduced in 2009, the P238 was available in a matte black finish and a two-tone finish with a matte silver colored slide and black frame. Since then, SIG Sauer has produced a number of variants including some short run commemorative editions. Among the variants are versions with various finishes, with a stainless steel frame and different grips and embellishments.
Recalls[edit]
In July 2009, SIG Sauer issued a recall of all P238s sold within a certain serial number range, which they referred to as a 'Mandatory Safety Upgrade'. The reason stated for the recall is that a small number of P238s were built with defective manual safety levers, leading to 'the remote possibility that the gun could fire unintentionally, thus creating a risk of injury or death', although SIG Sauer emphasized that no such injuries had actually occurred.[5] According to SIG Sauer, the recall did not affect any pistols with a serial number that started with '27Axxxxx'.[5]
