Opinions and info on the Sig SAS models


PackinMama

Recommended Posts

I'm thinking about buying a Sig 938 and I really like the looks of the SAS model.

From what I can see, the main advantage of getting the SAS (besides looks) is that they've undergone the "carry melt treatment" to smooth out all the rough edges. 

Are there any other advantages that the SAS models have over the others, and do you think it's worth the extra money?

My GF has the 238 SAS. We got it on sale for $570 I think. I thought the only difference was the ambidextrous safety. It doesn't look like anything has been rounded off to me.

 

One thing worth mentioning, the Sig laser is garbage so don't waste your money. It was "free" when we bought ours or I would have returned it.

I have p239 SAS and 4 non SAS sigs (3 x p229 and a p226). Whether it's worth the price difference to you is a personal decision, but I will say that the SAS is easier for me to reholster in a leather holster due to the rounding of the front corners of the slide. In my kydex/plastic holsters it doesn't seem to make a bit of difference.

 

 

As to whether the p938 is worth the cash, A Colt mustang pocketlite was my first carry gun gifted to me by my grandfather and it has served me so well I can't wait to add a p938 to the stable alongside it.

I got to compare the 938 Nightmare and the 938 SAS side by side at the Knoxville gun show last weekend. There actually is quite a difference in the edges of the slide and the frame. I really like the smooth feel of the SAS, and after holding one, all the other models seem unfinished and cheap in comparison (to me at least).

I just didn't know if there was anything else that the Sig custom shop does to them besides smoothing off the sharp edges. Do they polish the feed ramp or work on the trigger or do anything else to the internals while they have it?

I've got a new 938 SAS coming. I won the GunBroker auction that I bid on over the weekend. I put in the low starting bid of $635 and no one else bid on it, so I got it for $635 plus $25 shipping. My FFL charges $40 to do the transfer, so my total otd price is $700. I think I did very well on that one! What do you think?
