The Sports 12 variant was produced in a limited batch exclusively for distributor Sports South, adding scarcity to an already sought-after micro-1911 platform. Each pistol carries the distinctive mfg. part number 238-380-SPORTS12, signaling its place in this short-run series.
A 2.7-inch stainless steel barrel works with the locked-breech action to keep recoil manageable while maintaining the P238’s ultra-compact profile. Despite its all-metal construction, the pistol tips the scale at only 15.2 ounces unloaded, making it light enough for daily concealed carry.
The black Nitron-finished slide features rear cocking serrations and houses TruGlo TFO three-dot sights that blend tritium and fiber-optic elements for high visibility in both daylight and low-light conditions.
A matte-black aluminum alloy frame wears Hogue finger-groove rubber grips, giving the shooter a secure, hand-filling purchase uncommon on pistols of this size. Controls follow the classic 1911 layout, including a single-action trigger, an external spur hammer, and a left-side manual thumb safety backed by an inertial firing-pin block and a slide-lock safety notch.
The package includes both a 7-round magazine with finger extension and a 6-round flush magazine, along with a SIG pocket holster, so it is ready for range time or carry right out of the box.
