That's a killer deal there, Steve - especially for a SAS. Mine was $599, plus got a 11% rebate for store credit, but that ain't $500!
Nice to see some WV folks here. I was born in Huntington - lived there until I was around 12 or so. Beautiful state.
James answered it as well, or better than, I could've. The SAS is Sig's "Custom Shop" 938 variant, with all/most of the sharp edges knocked off to make it slightly more concealed carry friendly. I think it makes a small difference, but I haven't carried one of the other models for comparison. The pistol carries extremely well in my Alien Gear Cloak Tuck 2.0, and more importantly, as James also noted, it's a really good shooter. The Alien Gear holster is kydex and neoprene and I haven't had any issues with the fit.
I wouldn't hesitate to buy any one of the 938 line again. Whatever your personal preference is and whichever one fits you best, I'd highly recommend it.
FWIW, I snagged mine for ~$500 on sale from Palmetto State Armory, so I consider mine a bonafide bargain.
I'd buy another Sig in a heartbeat.
Native Mountaineer here as well, Morgantown.

Wow! Born and raised in Huntington, WV. Lived there until I joined the Army at age 18, returned for a few years when I got out, attended Marshall Univ. for a while till I moved south. I still have family there and visit once or twice a year, wish it was more often.
Has anyone installed a Short Reset Trigger in there guns? How much difference does it make for single action followup shots?

I've been thinking about it myself for my P229. I shot one at the range a few weeks ago and it was noticeably better on double taps.I have not, but have considered doing so for my P229, I just don't shoot it much anymore. I probably will someday.
A new gun store opened in our area, not without lots of controversy, and the wife and I went to the grand opening this past Saturday to show our support. Very small store but had a nice selection of handguns and shot guns. They had guns from all the usual suspects (CZ, Sig, Glock, H&K, FN) I've been looking at a P938 SAS for carry and I was finally able to see and touch one in person and man is that guy small...tiny! My wife thought it was really cute! Anyway, the wife registered for the $500 store gift certificate give away and of, course, she won. Now, we're trying to decide what to buy and I'm leaning toward the P938 but after some more research on Sig's website, the P224 has peaked my interest because its considered subcompact but has a 12 round magazine. Anyone have any thoughts our suggestions on how the two compare to each other, specifically size wise? Other thoughts appreciated?
The 224 is way too heavy (29 oz) for pocket carry, even though its not a lot bigger in dimensions. This is because the 938 has an aluminum frame w/steel slide. P224 is all steel. .
After some research and a conversation with a friend of mine who is and dealer and collector, I've narrowed my wife's choices down to the P938 or P229. The dealer had the P938 Nitro and P229 SAS Elite all stainless with wood grip in stock. I've been drooling over the P229 Legion series and may see if I (my wife) can use the $500 credit on an order.
Heh heh...so is this for you or her? . Sounds like you need to further narrow down use case. P938 and P229 are pretty far apart. I'd get both .
Gun is for her but she has no idea what she wants and does not care. She doesn't like that the 938 is a 6+1 in case of a zombie attack. Wants more bullets and loves our Sig P320 with the 15 round magazine. See what I have to put up with???
Probably going to stick to my original plan of getting the P938 tonight since its the best deal at $599 which means we only pay $99 plus tax. I really want to see how much their charging for the P229 Elite? I really want the P229 Legion series!!
@Cuttingboard - Excellent! I'm sort of holding out for a Legion in .45 (maybe a 220 or 227?), but I will likely also end up with a Legion 226 at some point. Let us know how it shoots!
