The Equinox Custom Shop treatment defines this P238 with polished stainless slide flats contrasted against a black Nitron finish, a flat-top profile, and rear cocking serrations. The frame is lightweight aluminum alloy with a durable black hard-anodized finish, paired with checkered laminated wood grips bearing SIG SAUER medallions.
Sight configuration is a night-sight set: a TruGlo TFO tritium-fiber-optic front sight (green, marked TG-H3) and a SIGLITE tritium two-dot rear. This factory setup is a hallmark of the Equinox series and is purpose-built for consistent sighting across varying light conditions.
Mechanically, the pistol uses a single-action-only, hammer-fired, locked-breech system with a spurred external hammer and a manual thumb safety. Capacity is 6+1 in .380 ACP, and this example includes a flush-fit 6-round steel magazine. The dustcover is smooth with no accessory rail, keeping the micro profile clean and compact.
Core dimensions are tailored for discreet carry: approximately 5.5 inches OAL, 3.9 inches in height, 1.1 inches in width, and about 15.2 ounces in weight. The 2.7-inch carbon steel barrel complements the micro size while maintaining the classic P238 handling characteristics. Manufactured in 2013 in the USA, the frame is marked "SIG SAUER INC., EXETER–NH–USA," and the factory box label dated 04-DEC-2013 shows model code 238-380-EQ with a matching serial.
