    The SIG Sauer P938 is a subcompact single-action pistol chambered for the 9 mm Parabellum (9×19 mm) cartridge announced by SIG Sauer at the 2012 SHOT Show. It is slightly larger version of the SIG Sauer P238 (.380 ACP) pistol. Trigger pull is listed at 7.5 to 8.5 lb. A finger relief exists under the trigger guard. Grip panels are one of three kinds of wood or Hogue G-10 Extreme composite. The frame is metal, unlike many other subcompact 9 mm handguns. The frame for all 938 models will be anodized aluminum alloy, and the slide will be stainless steel either bare or with SIG's Nitron coating.[1]

    Flush fit magazines will hold 6 rounds, while 7 round magazines with an extension are available. 938s include ambidextrous safety, though the magazine release will only be on the left side.

    New specialty versions have been made such as the Nightmare, Extreme, Equinox, AG and SAS.[2]
