Does Sig still make this variation of the P238? All steel, no aluminum.

Hi David and welcome. Unfortunately no Sir. I would search Gun(6)roker - just replace the (6) with b and Guns International as hard to find firearms are often sold by small shops and private individuals : (Another excellent gun site to search is) - gunsinternational.com/ - Cheers and stay safe!

here is the current version but it is out of stock but has the notify me option by using the notify me Buds will email you when they are back in stock This in no way obligates you to purchase the item. We are not buds employees we are volunteers that answer questions https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/124498/sig+sauer+238380tss2ca+p238+ca+compliant+.380+acp+2.70+6+1+black+hardcoat+anodized+stainless+steel+slide+gray+polymer+grip

Hi David, when the 'Notify' button is not available, Bud's does not anticipating getting the item back in stock, usually because it has been discontinued. I would check on large gun sites like gunbr0ker and Guns International as discontinued and hard to find firearms show up for sale by private individuals and small shops. Stay safe & have a great day!

Is there a larger capacity magazine available for this handgun?

Mark, there is a +1 (7rd) Magazine available : https://www.ebay.com/p/SIG-Sauer-SIGTac-MAG-238-380-7-X-P238-Magazine-380-ACP-7-Round-X-Grip-Steel/15003301944 (Buds has it at a higher price) : https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/74357/sig+sauer+mag2383807x+380+380+automatic+colt+pistol+%28acp%29+7

the highest is a 7 round mag https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/74357/sig+sauer+mag2383807x+380+380+automatic+colt+pistol+%28acp%29+7

If anything, you can add 1 round extra with the right gear. This gun was not made for large parts that will contradict its purpose; concealed carry.

we have this item and your other ca-approved sig 380 here: https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/77878 which is $120 less. whats the difference? dont know which to order. Are either of them double action?

The more expensive model costs a little more due to the frame being made of stainless steel rather then anodized alloy that's why it's 5 oz' s heavier. Also it adds on a thumb and grip safety. Plus I personally think it looks a lot better ! Both firearms are single action.

I have the "Army" model in olive drab/black and it is a very accurate and comfortable pistol to carry. I'd go with the alloy frame (budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/77878 ) if you'll carry it in your pocket. My heavier pocket pistols tend to work my pants down over my hips. This is one of the better 380 micro size pistols. I cannot seem to wear it out no matter how much I shoot it.

they are both great looking pieces,Both firearms are single action.one is heavier then the other one.

Couldn't have said it better, they are both great looking pieces..buy what you WANT..even if it means saving for another pay cycle! Always look for an exposed hammer, or lack thereof...a hammer is a good "no-fail" tell of a single-action pistol. Enjoy, be safe and be happy!

The P238 HD is built on an all stainless beavertail style frame with G10 polymer grips for comfort and a secure hold during rapid-fire usage. The stainless steel slide features Sig Sauer's trademarked slide serrations and SigLite Night Sights. The Sig Sauer P238 HD is shipped in a lockable hard case and one 6 round magazine. California approved.

This pistol is simply Bad Arse! The “California Compliant” LCI (Loaded Chamber Indicator) is a bit redundant as you can actually see a round in the chamber from a small notch in the slide. The LCI is just another thing to go wrong with an otherwise master engineered firearm.
The sights are machined so well that even those that are somewhat eyesight challenged can’t miss with this one. Even in the dark.
The trigger pull is smooth and the slide is far from stiff.
A seven round magazine is a must and should have come with the package. One will fit in the case that the pistol comes with.

I have the "Army" model in olive drab/black and it is a very accurate and comfortable pistol to carry. I'd go with the alloy frame (budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/77878 ) if you'll carry it in your pocket. My heavier pocket pistols tend to work my pants down over my hips. This is one of the better 380 micro size pistols. I cannot seem to wear it out no matter how much I shoot it.
