The Nitron Engraved variant combines a high-polish black Nitron slide with factory-applied scroll engraving across both slide flats and the top, giving this micro pistol a distinctive factory finish. Rear cocking serrations provide traction for slide manipulation without interrupting the engraved panels.
It features SIGLITE tritium night sights, with the rear unit marked "MH3 AL" to denote tritium lamps. The sight set is factory-installed and complements the pistol’s compact 2.75-inch barrel and micro-size profile.
Built on a matte black aluminum-alloy frame, the P238 uses a single-action-only system with a manual thumb safety, a spur hammer, and a curved solid trigger. The controls and layout will feel familiar to SAO users while maintaining the compact footprint of the P238 platform.
Grips are pink swirled "pearl"-style synthetic panels that add a distinctive look and contrast with the black slide and frame. The aesthetic is factory-configured to match the engraved Nitron theme.
Capacity is 7+1, and this example includes both a 7-round magazine with an extended finger-rest and a 6-round flush-baseplate magazine. The frame is marked "SIG SAUER INC., EXETER–NH–USA," and the included factory case label (dated 18-Jan-2013) lists "P238, 380, NITRON, SLITE, SAO, ENGRAVED," aligning with the pistol’s configuration. The mfg part number/sku is 238-380-BSS-ESP.
