The P238 Nitron, Rosewood Grips configuration delivers a micro-size .380 ACP with a traditional manual of arms. It features a single-action-only trigger, external hammer, and an ambidextrous manual thumb safety, giving it familiar 1911-inspired controls in a compact footprint.
Construction is robust and purpose-built: a stainless steel slide treated with a Nitron finish over an aluminum-alloy frame, and a 2.7 in carbon-steel barrel. Rear vertical serrations aid slide manipulation, and fixed, dovetailed 3-dot sights offer a clear, durable sight picture.
Ergonomics and capacity align with its role as a micro-compact. The checkered rosewood panels with an oval SIG SAUER logo engraved into the wood provide a secure grip, while the standard capacity is 6+1 in .380 ACP. Two 6-round magazines are included: one flush-base and one with a SIG-branded finger-rest baseplate.
Provenance details include the factory box labeled 13-AUG-2013 and the slide marking "SIG SAUER INC. EXETER-NH-USA." The serial on the box matches the frame, aligning the pistol with its original factory packaging.
